hear hear!

C100 would definitely do the job, but since you're low on budget and want it all in a small package why not consider the Canon xc15? Great codec, lens sorted, xlr outputs and all day handheld friendly.

Good post. You basically ask for a 15.000 body (if not more) for the price of 2.000

My advice would be to get a second hand C100 mark I for that budget as it really shines in all sorts of shooting conditions, plus makes you work for that perfect image (which it's definitely capable of) instead of going 4k and 13 stops dr so you can crop to HD and lack in lighting. why do you even need at least 13 stops?

+1 on True Detective

So what would be a good tripod to go with that duzi? any recommendations?

haha yes, I've already made that mistake a few years ago hence this topic ^^ thanks!
