Letus EX - What do I need!

One thing that has kept me away from the EX a little is not knowing exactly what I need.

The SGPRO for instance has a kit on their website for 2000 which includes the FF, Rails, Adapter, etc. all in one kit where all you really need is a camera and lenses to get started...

For the LEX, if I we're to buy what do I need? I know I need rails and all that stuff thats in the SGpro kit (because I want all that...just compatible with the EX), but everyone buys different things and I can't get anyone to go "here is exactly what you need, buy with confidence."

Can someone make a list of what I need to buy TO A T!, so I can look at the list and know that yes this kit will work just as well as the Sgpro kit in terms of being complete and compatible.

I know someone has a completed kit, or else they wouldn't be posting footage. I would be using small nikon lenses like a 24-135mm range. So, can someone make me a list? I'm sick of guessing and fearing that I'm going to be wrong, especially if it deals with a lot of money.

Thanks Guys.
 
Ok, well you know the first thing you need is a set of rails.
I would suggest Cavition although there are other options (Redrock, Cinevate, Indifocus, ect..)
The next thing you should get is a monitor (unless you have a ex1) you should probably get a Ikan of a Marshal monitor.
Next thing you should get is a Follow focus my suggestion is a indifocus or a redrock FF.
Another thing you should probly get is a mattebox i would get a Hyson, Redrock, or Cinivate.
The mos important thing you need is a lens you should do some reaserch on the forum for that information.
 
In order of importance:

Letus Rail + extension
24mm, 50mm, 85mm, 135mm lens
Redrock/SGpro/IndiFocus/etc. Follow Focus
For the A1 you don't need external monitor, the LCD is excellent. For the HVX and other cameras, LCD monitor is a must.
Mattebox is fairly important because you no longer benefit from the stock lens hood. I really like the Hyson HD mattebox, although IndiFocus is also making one at a reasonable price.
