For handheld shooting with a mirrorless camera its always about finding a balance between time spent rigging and time saved or convenience on a shoot. more bits means more weight so i always try to balance what I'm getting out of rigging my camera. After much tinkering and experimentation this video shows where im currently at with my handheld "run & gun" camera setup.
