on the note of straps: I put some simple "harness clip" thin on the end og the original strap. Easy to remove, no dingling stuff remains on the camera, except that triangle thingy.Way cheaper and easier. My friend has the PD strap. Every time I had to borrow his camera when I needed to film a 4 camera setup. Thad hanging PD stuff made me mad. I cannot imagine using my camera like that.

Only thing I'll disagree with is buying the Sony batteries. Batteries have become so good now a days you really don't need to worry. I have about 16 PowerExtra batteries and they last about 90% as well as the original Sony. I can get about 1:45-50 minutes with them. Been using them for over a year now with the A7siii for weddings and commercial work and haven't encountered any issues whatsoever. Also you get two batteries and a charger for $50 US. I highly recommend them and won't be spending $80 on one Sony battery.

Since i do like to protect my camera bodies, this cage have made it convenient for me to set the camera down on rough surface without worrying my camera will be scuff. Then attaching the mic or gopro into the cold shoe with ease. And even attaching a monitor mount holder onto the cage allows room for an external monitors while also attaching a handle grip.

Between 1:20 and 18:58 you can see the huge drop off in natural light as you go through golden hour and then dusk! It would be super interesting to get any tips for adjusting WB/exposure on the fly if you're shooting long form content over that time span. I shot a friend's podcast the other day from 4-6PM and dealing with lighting behind the scenes and then in Premiere was a big hassle.
