must have accessories FX1/Z1U
Hello all, I'm going to be using an FX1 or Z1U for the first time in the near future. I have all the support equipment I need (lights, tripods, etc.) but I don't know much about on-camera accessories (mattebox, shoulder brace, etc.) for these cameras. Could anyone give me a few recommendations on helpful or "must have" items to go on the camera. I've checked the archive and a .6x or .7x WA adapter sounds very helpful. Does anyone have a favorite brand (Century and 16x9 Inc models appear to be recommended)? Is the lens prone to flare? Are there any filters you find yourself using consistently?
Thanks for any advice. |

Sorry I should have made that clear, the audio gear is set too. I'm more wondering about on-camera gear people find useful for very general production - doc-style shooting, occasional corporate gig, and some commerical (not necessarily narrative, as the project would demand specific tools). I need to know about things like a alternative system for holding the camera (like a spider brace), the necessity of a matte box (flares are great, but most of my paying clients don't want them), or maybe zoom/focus controllers. I'm coming from a film BG, and just want to be sure I have what I need when this camera gets in my hands.
