What should I buy with Blackmagic Production Camera 4K!

Hi everybody,
I think we have to give Blackmagic Design team their time to produce for us the best cheap 4K cinematic camera.
it's about 3~4 weeks for production + 2~4 weeks for shipping. Maximum will be 8 weeks means 56 Days.
So I opened this thread to share our experience together.
What should I buy for my camera if I'm new in this place?, and how much it will cost?

Lenses:

Tripod:

SSD card:

Microphone:

Extra battery:

Monitor:

Follow Focus:

Other accessories: (slider - jib - etc...).

Please be specific with your items, and put the price if you can.
--------------------------------------------------------
For me...
Lenses:
Rokinon - 14mm - 380.88$
Rokinon - 35mm - 489.79$
Rokinon - 85mm - 353.66$
"These prices are different because I will buy it locally in UAE!"

Tripod:

SSD card:
Kingston HyperX 3K - 480GB - 403.97$ in Amazon

Especially since predicting when you'll receive your BMPC-4K is essentially impossible:

I recommend against buying expensive gear solely for use with a camera you don't yet have in-hand.

Camera accessories are generally easy & quick to obtain, and the longer you wait, the less they tend to cost.

It's OK to do your research ahead of time, just don't make the mistake so many others have made and buy a bunch of stuff only to have it sit unused for weeks or months while waiting for a camera.

Also, there are already several threads here about accessories (tripods, rigs, lenses, etc.) for use with BMD & other cameras. Search is your friend.

i sincerely hope that in 120 days this thread doesnt turn into, "I bought all these lenses batteries ect for this camera and it is still not here"

I suggest not buying anything right now

Actually, I didn't bought anything until now. This thread is only to share our experiences in video production's items.
I don't aspect to get anything right now.
All these items I will buy it after I get my BMPC4K.. Or maybe I will get lenses before I get the camera.
Please focus on topic, What should we get for the future?

thanks

What's that saying again?
"Don't put the cart before the horse."...

Getting gear for the 4K is fine but make sure you have a backup plan if the 4K doesn't make it out by your planned project or you'll be selling lenses,cages,etc for a different camera. Make sure whatever you have or buy can be used on the 'next' camera.

Looks like the first 4K Cameras are about to hit from Sony in October.

Sony FDR AX1

4K for just less than $4K

Wonder how this will affect Sales ?

It will not. The attraction is not 4k. Attraction is raw and ProRes plus s35 sensor.
The mentioned camera has a very lossy codec and a small ENG sized sensor.
Aimed at a different market.

+ it looks like the Sony doesn't have interchangeable lenses.

But it has 60p and HDMI 2.0 in a future firmware update. No global shutter?
