Another thing you will need to consider having is a decent tripod especially if you plan on having someone man your camera a tripod with a fluid head is very desirable as the action on a cheap non fluid tripod is very inconsistent at best. You can pick up one of these for between one to two hundred on ebay used. I recommend bogen-manfrotto tripod components: 351MVB Tripod, 501HDV Fluid Head That’s the model I prefer however if your looking for something a bit more affordable 190XB 3-Section Tripod will get the job done nicely.
