Bro, I could be totally wrong on this but I'm confident enough to type it. I'm pretty sure a hot shoe is one that communicates with the camera and a cold shoe is one that doesn't. The BMPCC doesn't have a hot shoe and it looks like the cage you're using doesn't either. Otherwise, great video.

Definitely like the add-on/take-off option with the rail extensions. I went with Zacuto because the rods line up so much better and there's a direct connect versus using a "bridge" or adapter piece in between. Sometimes vibrations, especially from car mounts, can start to loosen things up.

The big problem with any rig system is if you are the one pulling focus and not a 1st AC, then the focus wheel system is a nightmare given that you then only have ONE hand providing the main point of contact instead of being two hands. So other than a focus side handle, there really is no other way in that scenario at least.
