I found the most useful thing was a mains extension cable! The batteries are large and don't last long, maybe an hour - less when using LCS, onboard monitor etc so running the camera from mains power was the best option. We also opted to mount the recorder deck on the camera rather than keep it separate. It's much easier on location and cuts down setup time but it makes the camera pretty heavy, about as heavy as a panalux 35mm with a 1000 foot mag. Hope that helps. Have fun =)
