1. Sony ZV-E10 Mirrorless Camera

The heart of this rig, the ZV-E10 is a compact mirrorless camera built for creators who need 4K video and sharp photos in a lightweight package. Its flip-out screen, fast autofocus, and clean low-light performance make it perfect for vlogging, travel, and handheld shooting. All the other components in this rig are designed to enhance its versatility and ease of use.

2. Tamron 17–70mm f/2.8 Di III-A VC RXD Lens for Sony E

This versatile zoom lens pairs seamlessly with the ZV-E10, covering everything from wide landscapes to tight portraits. Its constant f/2.8 aperture and built-in vibration compensation (VC) keep footage bright and stable, complementing the camera’s compact body for handheld and gimbal shooting.

3. K&F Concept Nano-X Variable ND Filter (67mm, 1 to 9-Stop)

This ND filter works hand-in-hand with the lens to control light exposure, allowing you to maintain cinematic shutter speeds even in bright outdoor conditions. It’s especially useful for keeping your f/2.8 depth of field consistent while avoiding overexposure.

4. Tiffen Black Pro-Mist Filter (67mm, Grade 1/8)

Stacked on top of the ND filter, the Black Pro-Mist adds subtle diffusion to highlights and softens contrast for a filmic look. Together with the ND filter and lens, it helps achieve cinematic imagery straight out of camera without heavy post-processing.

5. Lexar 128GB Professional 1667x UHS-II SDXC Memory Card

A high-speed SD card ensures the camera can record smooth 4K video without dropped frames. With 128GB of storage, it gives you enough space to capture long sessions while keeping all your footage safe and ready for quick transfers.

6. Sony NP-FW50 Lithium-Ion Rechargeable Battery (1020mAh)

This compact battery powers the ZV-E10 reliably for extended shoots. It works perfectly with the Vidpro dual-bay charger, so you can always have charged spares ready to swap in during long days of filming.

7. Vidpro Dual-Bay Charger with LCD for Sony NP-FW50

This dual-slot charger lets you recharge two batteries at once and shows real-time charging status on the LCD screen. It keeps your workflow smooth by ensuring you never run out of power mid-shoot.

8. RODE VideoMicro II Ultracompact Camera-Mount Shotgun Microphone

This lightweight microphone captures clean, directional audio that pairs perfectly with the ZV-E10. Mounted directly on the camera, it ensures your sound matches your visuals while eliminating the need for extra recording gear.

9. ANDYCINE X5L 6" High-Bright On-Camera Field Monitor with Built-In Battery

Mounted via the SmallRig monitor mount and connected with the Kondor Blue HDMI cable, this bright field monitor provides a clear, accurate view of your framing and exposure. It enhances both handheld and tripod setups, making it easy to see exactly what you’re shooting.

10. SmallRig Camera Cage + Top Handle Kit for Sony ZV-E10

The cage protects your camera while adding multiple mounting points for accessories like the microphone and monitor. The top handle enables stable low-angle shots, and it works in tandem with the side handle for comfortable handheld operation.

11. SmallRig Snap-On Quick-Lock NATO Side Handle

This handle attaches directly to the cage to improve grip and maneuverability. It’s especially helpful for longer handheld sessions and works with the top handle to create a balanced, stable rig.

12. SmallRig Swivel and Tilt Adjustable Monitor Mount with ARRI-Style Mount

This mount holds the ANDYCINE monitor securely while allowing flexible positioning. Combined with the cage and HDMI cable, it ensures your monitor stays visible at any angle, whether shooting low, high, or handheld.

13. Kondor Blue Coiled Right-Angle High-Speed HDMI Cable (Raven Black, 12 to 24")

This coiled HDMI cable connects the ZV-E10 to the monitor, transmitting high-quality 4K video without signal loss. Its right-angle design keeps the cable tidy and reduces strain on ports when using the rig in handheld or gimbal setups.
