Hi,
If you like, let me know what your rig set up is and how heavy? I can guess from there.
I'm sure DoPs here would know off the top off their head or can give a good guestimate of the weight of a rigged BMCC. My rig at the moment is...
prime lens
15" rods
external sony battery (from my old Sony camcorder) with adaptor
7" ext monitor
beechtek (for XLR audio, phantom power)
ND filters
base plate
follow focus
sun hood
Matte box
Am I right in saying the BMCC is not in the weight category of DSLRs so sliders and dollies advertised for DSLRs wouldn't be recommended on the BMCC?
Another silly question, do I need a cage? Or is it a nice to have or something I can get later on?
My intended use is for green screen work and outdoor shoots; initially for shorts. Will be mostly from tripod.
Thanks for any help,
Jules
