What is your favourite setup? Do you like 'em minimalistic or completely build-out? If you have questions on which parts I use, check the KIT page for more info! kit.co/Sjoerdwess/rigging-equipement

I agree, I use the internal batteries a lot as well. Love using a minimal kit especially for personal and travel content as you know :).

Sounds good man! You'll love it, im sure!

My first Pocket 4K was getting bulky, and I decided my second one would be a minimalist build. I use my P4Ks on a tripod, and it turns out there are certain things that end up being 'essential' for my gigs. I added an external battery for long shoots where I may not be able to plug in, an HDMI clamp for when I'm doing a multi-cam live shoot, an external hard drive because I'm too cheap to buy the C-Fast card that would have the right capacity, and a cage to hold it all. After all that I added a handle just because it felt odd picking the camera up with one hand by the body.
