I'm sooooo happy with my G85. I've taken it around the world. Here's a list of things I've been keeping track of:
Microphones:
Get the Videomic Pro+. The differences are that the mic turns on/off automatically and it has a usb rechargeable battery.
Having to carry extra batteries are dumb. Especially when they're not rechargeable. Also, you WILL forget to turn the mic on, then your whole shot is ruined because NO SOUND will be recorded. Trust me.
You probably noticed that you can't look in the viewfinder because of the videomic. This Movo 4" bar will fix that.
Batteries:
Speaking of extra batteries, you're going to want more. There are two types: cheap non-decoded, cheap decoded, and OEM.
Non-decoded means you won't know how much battery you have left in the camera. Obviously that's dumb. Spend a little more and get decoded. I really like these OAproda 2 pack + charger. No battery lasts as long as the OEM, but it's close enough. Plus, the OAproda charger is much thinner than the others and charges via USB.
SD Cards:
I love these SanDisk Extreme Pro. I purchased the 128gb because I NEVER want to be in a position that I can ever possibly run out of space.
You'll want a way to copy the files to your pc. This Transcend USB 3.0 works amazingly, and it's $9 for a two pack.
Lens:
The kit lens is pretty damn good. But here are the lenses that you'll see people talk about all the time. Depending how new you are in photography/videography, you should know this: we have a crop sensor. It's not the end of the world. A majority of the people don't mind it. But when you're looking at lens sizes, you need to double the number in order to compare it with full frame camera's. But again, not a big deal.
Panasonic 25mm f1.7 - compared to the "nifty fifty" on a full frame (25mm*2=50mm). This lens works aaaaaaamazing in low light / day light / etc. But to get an idea of how 'zoomed in' it is, take your kit lens and rotate it to "25mm". That's how this lens is. Nevertheless, still such an awesome lens.
Panasonic 45-150mm f4.0-5.6 - I just bought this lens from Amazon Warehouse for $100. It's very well built and serves it's purpose (when I want to zoom in on something far away)
Rokinon 12mm f2.0 - Everyone loves this lens, but keep in mind that it does not have autofocus. Is it the worst thing in the world? No. But it's the only drawback so it's worth mentioning. I was doing some night time time lapses last night and man, this sucker was beautiful. It's WIDER than any other lens, so you'll capture more of the image but it DOES NOT have a fisheye effect (which is awesome).
DSLR Video Shooter's G85 guide was wellllll worth the $20. Most of it was pretty elementary, but I did learn so much more and started using about 90% of what he spoke about. Brilliant.
Alright so here's a picture of what I have on my camera
Basically you need 3 pieces:
Essentially what I had to do was mount the cheese stick to the hot shoe to tripod mount on one side, then at the other end I put the cold shoe mount on the right side of the stick.
The reason for this is because if you mount it on the top of the stick the center of gravity will become too high for the crane and the mount will still interfere with the gimbal's operations. I actually had this cold shoe extender originally but it turned out to mount the microphone way too high and I could no longer balance the gimbal due to this.
Here's what it looks like when it's off the camera.
