Videography Kit to suit Petite Women
13
items As a petite 5"2 videographer I'm always being asked for kit recommendations - I've had so many rucksacks that don't close properly, gimbals I can't hold, and camera rig's that break my back. Here I've listed the kit that fits me, and that I can carry...

Videography Kit List - Mirrorless DSLRs, Gimbal, Lenses and more
My go-to Mirrorless DSLR - Sony is what I was trained on so I'll always feel most comfortable using their systems. I chose the FX30 because of it's lower price point and, while I was nervous about the cropped sensor, I honestly never struggle with it...
FX30 compact Cinema Line gateway camera
Works a dream with my FX30. The Aperature isn't as fast as I'd like but for anything you're shooting in good lighting it's a dream. Great for macro shots too as has a great minimum focusing distance. I chose Sigma because of the lower price and I wou...
18-50mm F2.8 DC DN | C
My go-to for daily life shots and anything cinematic. It roughly mimics the field of vision of the human eye, and makes everything look gorgeous. Can't recommend enough, and pairs really well with my FX30.
FE 35mm F1.8 | SEL35F18F
Works a dream with my Sony FX30 as long as the lens isn't too heavy. Great for run-and-gun filming, great for stabilisation and packs down reasonably small, especially compared to full size gimbals. As a petite girl I'd struggle to carry a full size ...
DJI RS 3 Mini - Move Light
I really rate Smallrig for their Customer Service. While their products could be improved, for the price point they're good and the one time something has broken SmallRig replaced it super quickly. Can't fault them - highly recommend.
Tripods - Video, Photo & Vlogging Rigs
Urth do the best ND filters within this price range. I've tried a few of their competitors and they just don't compare - the ‘look’ Urth gives is just beautiful. Really cinematic and gorgeous!

Incredibly easy to use - these RODE Wireless Pro's are my go-to, and I love that they can record independently.
Wireless PRO | Compact Wireless Microphone System
I use this for filming weddings, as I'm always running around and need plenty of batteries, cards and lenses on my person. I've not tried the big one but suspect it would be too heavy for me; I like the 6L.
ROGUE 9L Sling in Black
This light has saved me so many times - the battery is plenty for a single event, and it's so small and easy to carry around. I love how presicely you can dial in the warmth, and some of them are even magnetic. Although I have to admit I paid more fo...
RGB and LED Light - SmallRig
My go-to for backup wedding audio. So helpful as it records independently, and the battery on it is great.
DR-10L - Digital Audio Recorder With Lavalier Microphone
These Petite Cargo Trousers are my favourites to wear on shoot. The pockets are so handy and mean I don't have to rely on slinging countless bags over my back either. I'm 5"2 and got them in a 10 short which fits me perfectly.
Women's Cargo Trousers
I bought this beauty second hand and it works a dream with my Sony A7iv. They call it a portrait lens but I have to say I love it for Weddings and Events. The Aperature is nice and fast, and the Bokeh is unbelievable.
FE 85mm F1.8 | SEL85F18
This was the first lens I bought to fit on my Sony FX30. While I wouldn't recommend buying it on it's own, it's a really solid Wide and the fast aperature has helped me out in many a situation. Combined with the 4K crop in post and you're covered for...
