The lens regain - it's only a 75% FOV increase on the 3x BM sensor, so your 24mm FOV will be somewhere around 60mm?

Crops: Micro 2.88 — w LensRegain 2.16 — w Metabones Pocket 1.67.

24 mm becomes 70mm — 52mm — 40mm.

Better go for a pure external monitor that is lighter and has a better display, for example a SmallHD DP4 for the same price.

SmallHD DP4 looks interesting, but will be 800X480 enough to control the focus?

I'd just use a plain, cheapo vanilla Canon stabilized 18-55mm kit lens

Thanks. I added it to my list.

Aputure FineHD VS-2 is even cheaper, and is a greater than FHD monitor. 

It's interesting. I added it to my list too.

You'll want way way more than just one lens??? What do you already have?

Yes. I don't have any lenses yet.

Consider the Tamron SP 15-30mm f/2.8 Di VC

What do you think about Sigma AF 17-50mm f/2.8 EX DC OS HSM? This lens is less expensive and weighs less.

Hello! I want to buy a camera with accessories for some creative work (shorts, ADs...) and for my personal use.

I really like Blackmagic's image. I have compiled a list of equipment:

— Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera, $1000

Why? I really like Blackmagic's image. It's small and can shoot at 60 FPS.

— Blackmagic Video Assist, $500

Why? Looks like a decent 1080P monitor.

Are there any better options? Cheaper or lighter?

— Aputure DEC LensRegain, $580

I really want to be able to control the focus (esspecially with gimbal).

— Canon EF 24mm f/2.8 IS USM, $550

Why? Widest lens with IS that I found.

— CAME-Single, $1000

Why? Because I saw people who using it with Micro.

— 2x SanDisk 128GB Extreme Pro UHS-I SDXC U3
— 5x LP-E6

— HDMI-HDMI Cable
— Arm for Display

Total cost: around $3000 (without gimbal).

Can you give some advices?

Or should I just buy this Samsung NX1 + 16-50 S Lens Kit ($2800)?

Which pistol grip gimbal will perfom best with Blackmagic Micro (+ BM Video Assist + probably Aputure DEC LensRegain and lightweight EF lens)?

Payload is one of the most important things - you need to choose a gimbal that is ideally rated for a fair bit higher weight than your setup.  When you add up the weight of all those components what does it come out to?

It comes to 990 g / 2.2 lb without recorder, 1512 g / 3.3 lb with recorder.

312 g Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera

362 g Blackmagic Video Assist

315 g Aputure DEC LensRegain

281 g Canon EF 24mm f/2.8 IS USM

080 g LP-E6 Battery Pack

I suppose Canon 80D doesn't have clean HMDI output.

And while the 80D might not offer groundbreaking new video features, or even increasingly popular ones such as 4K resolutions, high-speed video modes or clean HDMI output, there are some welcomed improvements on the video front for the 80D. (from imaging-resource)

Magic Latern still doesn't work properly on Canon 70D, so I doubt it will release on 80D anytime soon.
