Hey Andrew. Thank you for this article. A buddy of mine just got the Iscorama 54 and I just got the BMCC with inspiration from his work on the camera. I knew from the start the two would be a match made in heaven. I was also quite adamant about setting the weight of the rig over my shoulder - and of course this posed a problem with using my SmallHD monitor as it only featured HDMI in. Now I am sure you have already figured out a solution to this by now but someone else reading this might find this worthwhile. Using an SDI to HDMI converter box is actually a pretty cheap and simple option. I bought this converter for $50 then simply ran a male to male DC power cable from the box to my v-mount battery plate. Seems like a hassle but every time I put that rig on my shoulder - I thank myself I took the time to make it correctly balanced. Also - I love that Rewo rig you have there. I might just have to have one in the future.

THANK YOU for this review. You have saved me from renting the a7r to test against the BMCC. The ranking of picture quality alone is invaluable for putting it into perspective. I can now rest in peace with my BMCC.
