The Long Take stripped to its core. Sony A7S III on the DJI RS4 with the Tamron 28-75 G2 or 24-70 GM II — no ring, no cage extras, no V-mount. The kit that comes when you need gimbal motion without the rig drawing attention. Documentary follows, walking interviews, behind-the-scenes, lifestyle shoots, wedding day candids.

    Sony A7S III

    Full-frame 4K cinema body

    Same body as the Long Take — colour and codec match seamlessly when both kits run together on a two-camera day.

    DJI RS4 Combo

    3-axis gimbal, stripped configuration

    Same gimbal as the Long Take, here run without the ring, without the cage extras, without the V-mount. Lighter, faster to balance, easier to move with for hours.

    03 · TAMRON-28-75MM-F-2-8-G2

    Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 G2

    Compact mid-range zoom, fast AF

    The lighter alternative to the GM II for follow days where weight matters. AF is fast enough to track moving subjects without focus hunting. Half the price means less to worry about on rough shoots.

    04 · SONY-24-70MM-F-2-8-GM-II

    Sony 24-70mm f/2.8 GM II

    Alternate — when image quality leads

    When the deliverable is for a brand film grade rather than a fast turnaround, the GM II goes on instead. Same focal range, sharper across the frame.

    05 · RODE-WIRELESS-PRO-2-CHAN

    Rode Wireless PRO (2-channel)

    Dual-channel 32-bit float wireless lavs, internal recording, timecode

    Two transmitters with built-in 32-bit float recording on each capsule — so even if the wireless link drops or audio spikes, the on-mic recording is the safety. Timecode-synced for multi-cam.

    Rode VideoMicro

    Compact on-camera shotgun

    Reference / ambient on the camera. No 9V battery, no phantom, just plugs in.

    07 · DJI-OSMO-NANO

    DJI Osmo Nano

    Tiny modular action cam, magnetic mount, vertical-native

    BTS / hidden-cam / vertical-native B-roll. Sits on the gimbal arm or anywhere magnetic — captures the operator’s POV or the talent POV that the main camera can’t reach.

    Sirui AM-25S video tripod

    Heavy-duty aluminium video tripod, fluid head

    For the static moments inside a follow day — interview punch-ins, locked-off product shots, the GVO opener.
