Welcome to the channel guys. Doing my best here to keep consistent with S5IIX content. Today I want to share from my experience using my camera in the industry why I backed it all down and decided to run with a much simpler rig.

It might be worth mentioning that I also have a top handle with a 5inch monitor that I do have when needed. However, I do find that due to the speed of content creation, I choose not to set this up, as I often have to switch from tripod to gimble regularly.
