Full frame lenses aren't that much better on APS-C bodies to be honest. If you get the lenses made for APS-C bodies (e.g. the non-L lenses), then you'd be getting better value. Go for a 50mm f/1.8 STM, 10-22mm USM, and I'd go for a 18-135mm STM. Yes, the 24-70 is a great lens, but on the crop body, it isn't much better than the 18-135mm. If you were doing sports, I'd also encourage you to get the 55-250mm. Both lenses are extremely sharp if you get the focus correct, and I have created many great photos with those lenses. The reason I say this as well is because since you're doing video work, the STM lenses (Stepping Motor) means that the autofocus on the lenses are dead silent. The USM lenses of the L series put quick autofocus over loudness - meaning that in video, you'd definitely hear the clunkiness of the autofocus, unless you buy an external mic but we'll get to that in a minute. If you were doing client video work, maybe a Glidecam, but seeing that they're quite hefty, a Yelangu S60T (https://www.amazon.com/YELANGU-Carbon-Handheld-Stabilizer-Camera/dp/B01DBG7SCM/ref=sr_1_1?s=photo&ie=UTF8&qid=1484294652&sr=1-1-spons&keywords=yelangu+s60t&psc=1) is quite good for its money. If you an balance it correctly, you should have no issues. If you needed a backpack, I would be looking at Brevite or the bigger brand, Lowepro. If you need a bag which also holds a drone, have a look at the Think Tank Airport Helipak (https://www.amazon.com/Think-Tank-Photo-Airport-Helipak/dp/B00W43XEBI/ref=sr_1_sc_1?s=photo&ie=UTF8&qid=1484294761&sr=1-1-spell&keywords=aiport+helipak) cause it can also hold your DSLR stuff. Filters would be a necessity, of which I'd be getting a circular polarizer - I haven't found a need for a UV/ND filter. But if you want to research filters and find what you need, that's completely up to you. A good microphone is the Rode Video Mic Go, which I think is superior cause it runs off the battery in your camera instead of using a 9V battery which is found in the Rode Video Mic Pro which needs to be manually turned on and off (which can get tedious cause you can tend to forget). For the microphone, get a deadcat windshield which stops the wind from making these abhorrent noises in your footage. If you're doing vlogging, definitely check out the Joby Gorrila Pod Focus X bundle with a ballhead since most vloggers like Casey Neistat use that to make wider shots. A good tripod from Manfrotto will serve you well if you pay the right money. If you need a cheap action cam, get the GoPro Hero+ - it has 1080p60 and is a lot cheaper than the Hero4/5. If you need the voice recognition, the 4k and/or have a bigger budget, definitely go for the Hero 5. A good light for video would be a Lume Cube which has a light capacity of 1500 Lumens (very bright). If you want to mount it on your hotshoe, you'd have to get an accessory which they sell. The Lume Cube has a 1/4 20 screw mount in the bottom so you can also mount it on a tripod if you want. If you have the budget, an extra battery is nice, but the batteries last quite long and I haven't had to buy any extra so far and I've done full day trips on a single battery - but it wouldn't hurt to have a spare one. If you're thinking about a drone, get the Phantom 4, but if you have the money, get the Phantom 4 Pro since the sensor is 4 times larger and can fly for a tad longer etc etc.

Good luck!

I use a Think Tank Photo Airport Helipak. It is definitely one of the more expensive options, but I love being able to carry my P3P, GoPros + Accessories, DSLR + Extra Lens, etc.

It also works as a carry-on, so it is great for traveling with your equipment.

I'm using this case, and it holds everything I need in a carry-on size for planes. It's perfect!! Think Tank Photo Airport Helipak Think Tank Photo https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00W43XEBI/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_x_RHf1xbV2CFT2C

I'm in a similar situation and not sure which way I'm going to go. The Polar Pro Drone Trekker looks like a great bag but the Think Tank bag also looks really good. Both have a positive reviews and are priced similarly. Have you looked at the Think Tank? It is also a popular bag to use.

Might have to exercise the Amazon Prime free returns to see which I like best.
