FS5: Essentials additional gear?

Guess I should have specified:
Already have lights, thanks.
Will likely repurpose my old Samurai Blade for monitor use until I can justify an Odyssey

more asking about gear very specific to the FS5 to maximize its useability... Like the 'C-Cup' for the old c100 or any grip relocators.

Thanks for the Battery recommendation, I have those for my AF100 and they're a treat.

And please take f-stop discussions elsewhere. Thanks
 
I have no problems focusing with the EVF on the FS5.

To me this is a R&G cam, and the best one I have had so far.

I don't always use wide open, but often I do even in the field and with a 1.4 lens. As long as I take my time using the mag and peaking I have always nailed the shots.

Now using a follow focus with a focus puller and different Q spots is not something I use the FS5 for, so it is not an issue. IMHO it is a great tiny camera with fantastic features like the ND.

I love this camera for what it is. It works perfectly for me...
 
I always use a 4K 40 inch monitor. But only after I filmed. Then I find out that I left the record button on while carrying the camera (moving ground shots, pieces of air).

And of course after that when I pushed the record button for that unique shot..... the camera stops recording.

And then I find out that the best shots are out of focus (even at F11).

Old 16mm cameras vibrated and made noise while filming, so my suggestion for firmware V5.... vibrate function!
