This DIY rig costs just $200 and fixes the main problems I find with many DLSR/DSLM style cameras. My custom rig turns any DSLR / DSLM camera into a proper video production tool. It has a top handle, works with all sorts of cameras even the BMPCC plus its on a low budget for all videography needs
Main parts of my custom rig:
Viltrox DSLR / DSLM Camera Cage for Sony A7sII / a6300 / a6500, Panasonic GH4 etc. $55

Main problem with using these small cameras is that there is no way to attach any accessories like microphones, lights, monitor etc. So I fix that problem first by putting a cage around my camera with various attachments. The next problem is the bad battery life that many of these cameras have. I attach a battery plate that accepts bigger and cheaper Sony NP-F style battery and then connect that to a dummy battery which I put inside my camera.
Another problem is the lack of professional audio connections which is easily fixed with the Saramonic SmartRig+. This audio mixer allows me to connect two phantom powered pro XLR microphones or two 3.5mm mics. It also allows me to monitor the audio with headphones and easily adjust the audio levels with physical knobs. This setup will work great for many different cameras such as Sony A7sII / a6300 / a6500, Panasonic GH4 and other similar cameras in size and function.
