About · the kit
The rig behind the films.
A ZV-E1 built into a one-man film rig. Scroll and watch it come apart — matte box, glass, monitor, V-mount, handle — down to the body that does the work.

Built piece by piece
A working rig is a small machine — every accessory adds weight and speed in equal measure. Here is what actually travels to a shoot.
What's in the bag
-
Camera
Sony ZV-E1
Full-frame, low-light monster. The body that does the work.
-
Glass
Sigma 24–70mm f/2.8 DG DN
One zoom for the whole day — wide scene-setter to tight detail.
-
Matte box
SmallRig Mini Matte Box 3575
Kills flare, holds the filters, keeps the front element clean.
-
Monitor
Feelworld LUT7S 7″ · 2200 nits
Bright enough to frame outdoors without hiding under a jacket.
-
Handle
Tilta Xeno Nano Top Handle
Low-profile carry point — light enough to forget it's there.
-
Power
SmallRig V-Mount Plate 4064B + V99
All-day power. One brick instead of a pocket of batteries.
-
Support
SmallRig NATO Rail 48mm
Quick-release mounting for the monitor and handle.

Happy to talk kit, workflow and what I'd change for a given brief.
