If you were going to the mountain to film, what would you bring? For example camera, lens, any accessories, stabilizers, tripods. Basically what is your setup?

I've got an Alexa 65 with a set of XPL primes, keeping it casual for now.

I need a casual setup like that. I'm sure its very lightweight and easy to carry in on bag lol

No, but in all seriousness the Alexa the is worth like 30-40 grand or something like that. I'm not even entirely sure if you can buy them yet. And not to mention the fact that you'd be needing a 8-14 grand computer to edit the footage plus a 3-4 grand moniter to be able take advantage of the resolution.

If you are wanting to get into filming though I'd recomend a 60d with some vintage primes if you are on a budget or a Sony A7 with some rokinon cine primes.
 
I would recommend the sony a6000 over a 60d. Canon is kinda outdated for video in their dslr lines

Sony is winning in low to mid level video cameras IMO

Canon is only catching up with their cinema line (C100, C300, C500)

The Panasonic G7 looks good for entry level too, however I havent used the camera so I can't back the quality.

An Alexa is upwards of $ 80K and easily breaks the 100K mark, the 65 on the other hand is a special beast, Arri rental only with a bespoke workflow system.

If you use the 65 you wouldn't care about the computer required to edit files, there's other people below you who worry about such issues.

Very true, but the few times I've used the A6000 it has overheated really fast. You can prolong that by shooting in colder situations and flipping the lcd out from the body.

Yeah my bad Laurent, all I know about the alexa came off an article about high end cameras, that I read, and that evidently didn't know what it was talking about.

An alexa only shoots 2k max right now. It also shoots in proress. You defiantly dont need a 14 grand computer to edit. You can edit those files fine on a mac book pro.
