For commercial work, well, you can totally knock yourself out on lights. It depends on how big your subject focus is..are you doing headshot type-talking head stuff, product, full-length people, full-scene? think about that- arri kits..not sure about a full kit unless you are going all-out from the start. I have a few arris but I picked them up bit by bit. I know lots of people like the kits though, but there are cheaper ways to get a kit going.

you don't really need a lighting kit for your weddings. it just gets in the way and takes too much time to set up. get some decent on-camera lighting and you'll be fine. search "on camera lighting" or something like that. pag6? frezzi, sony hvl etc.
 
Ash you are right about the 35mm adaptor, I was referring to the redrock m2 though. Yes i know It requires all that gear and I also know it requires manual focusing with a follow focus. I also was mainly thinking to use this for short films and commercials in controlled environment.

I was silly in thinking I can use this for wedding.

Also guys with regards to wedding, I will shoot a lot of indian wedding where they have a stage in which the bride and groom sit for along time, I have seen allot of videogrophers use lighting kits to light that up and have a mobile light on their camera also.

any idea on a handheld stabilizer which will fly the hvx/cineporter??

Thanx guys your feedback is helping me to make my mind up.
 
I guess it would depend on how much of a presence you feel like making in that very sacred day. Also depends on how much of a presence they want you to be. I would want to NOT notice the camera at all if it were my ceremony

Indian weddings can be long, yes. maybe try 2 tota lights with umbrellas? cheapest way to go and then you get a lot of light. buy some big umbrellas, i forget the size, if you want a lot of light spread.
