This footage was all shot on the Sony A7IV using a Sony 70-200 f/4 or Tamron 20-40 f/2.8 lens. Arena audio is through a Movo VXR-10 PRO shotgun mic. Monitoring was through my Atomos Ninja V.
I normally shoot either handheld, or from a Manfrotto Monopod. This was my first time shooting from a fixed, level, position. Because of the way the arena was configured, I had very little ability to move so, I dug my tripod into the dirt as low as I could get it, got everything level and relied on my Manfrotto 502AH fluid head to track the action.
