Video Rig for Z6 or Z7 = money pit LOL

Hi everyone,

I thought I'd post a couple of pictures of the video rig I've been working on for awhile now.
I think I finally have a system that is both flexible and functional. It is also easy to transition and remove the camera from the cage.
If any of you are interested, I'd be happy to answer questions on why I chose each piece, or provide an equipment list. I did a cross-post of this in the Nikon Z Mirrorless Forum in case it might be helpful to anyone over there.

All together, it was expensive, but in purchasing a little bit a time, I was able to avoid being thrown out of the house.

Interesting note, I bought the cage itself 3-4 months before I started adding things to it. The cage was so cheap that I bought it just to have in case I wanted to pursue a video rig setup.

It took patience, a lot of research, weeding out what didn't work, and waiting on items to go on sale so that I could afford them.
