Loving my c70 with some vintage nikkor lenses or just a classic 24-70. Internal ND is just too important :). But I'm really honestly, currently my favourite is my original A7s with these cheap Pergear manual focus 35mm f1.4 lenses for photos of the kids lol. Don't forget you can technically buy a 49mm to 77mm or 82mm step up ring without needing to stack 7 or 8 or them. Like 10 bucks on Amazon :).

Nice! I entered the 1st giveaway but eventually learned more about AoD. Even without thinking about the gear giveaway, the knowledge itself when you join the live streams, watch the videos, get the modules is so invaluable and cost 50x more than any gear giveaway. What I appreciate about AoD is how it changed my perspective when I meet other people and hear their stories. I meet people from all walks of life begging their story to be told. I used to be passive about it and would just listen but after AoD helped open my eyes, I am empowered to create the story. It won't be nominated for awards or Oscars, but the visceral impact it has to that person and the people around them solidifies the story and legacy. Thanks AoD for opening my eyes and for teaching the knowledge on how to create these documentaries. More power to you and the team!

What I would miss from that set-up is the best accessory ever for the FX3: the handle extension (MD3490 Smallrig part number) Not only doest it add length for a better grip, but also adds a NATO rail on top, which is in mi opinion better than that magic arm that Mark uses, as you can use a Monitor Mount like the 2906 that can be adjusted with friction.. so you can adjust the angle on the monitor on the fly, with one hand, very quickly.. no need to unscrew anything... Also, you can adjust the position of the monitor itself on the rail, to have it more to the front..

I was looking for a good setup for documentary-style shooting and came across this. I'm a military photographer, but recently got into video so now I'm looking into gear that will help me better capture the action and military training in the field. I've been running and gunning with my DSLR since I started shooting video so I think it's about time to get a grip/cage to make the footage a little smoother. This setup is nice because it's not too excessive or over encumbering especially when you're running around capturing the moment.
