2 cameras. 1 operator. Zero compromise.
This is my run and gun rig for vertical content. The A7 IV shoots the main angle, the Osmo Pocket 4 sits right on top and records a second one at the same time. Because it’s gimbal stabilized, it gives me buttery smooth camera moves, and because both cameras are stacked directly above each other, I get almost the same perspective and can cut between them seamlessly. When a client needs horizontal, I swap the handles and keep rolling.
What’s in it:
📷 Sony A7 IV + FE 24-70 mm F2.8 GM, the main camera
🎥 DJI Osmo Pocket 4, the gimbal camera for smooth shots
🌫️ Tiffen Pro-Mist & Glimmerglass, they soften harsh highlights and take the digital edge off for a more filmic look
🖥️ Blackmagic Video Assist, monitor for the main camera
📱 iPhone 17 Pro Max, second monitor next to the Blackmagic, so I see the gimbal camera on the left and the main camera on the right
💡 Aputure MC, small fill light that lifts faces and adds a catchlight in the eyes
🔋 SWIT 98 Wh V-Mount, powers the setup for long shoot days
🛠️ SmallRig Cage + Side Handles, swap them for vertical or horizontal
What would you change on this setup?
