One of my first try to take a photo in a studio. This is not edited at all, straight out of camera! Honest feedback is much appreciated :)

I’m putting together a new Sony FX30 rig specifically tailored for run and gun documentary shooting, handheld work, and quick transitions to a gimbal. This photo shows the core components I’m planning to use for the build. The main priority here is modularity I need to be able to strip down the top handle and accessories quickly to balance it on a gimbal without doing a complete teardown, but still have enough stability and power handling for long days of handheld doc shooting.

Planned Configuration:

Camera: Sony FX30

Lens: Sigma DC DN Trio

Filter: Tilta Mirage VND Kit

Cage & Rigging: SmallRig Cage & Cineback

Power: SmallRig V Mount

Monitor & Audio: Atomos Shinobi II and Rode Shotgun Mic & DJI Mic Mini 2

Before I lock everything down and lock in the cable routing, I wanted to get some feedback. For anyone using the FX30 for hybrid handheld and gimbal doc work, do you see any potential bottlenecks, clearance issues, or better component alternatives for this setup?
