Reddit mentions of Westcott Omega Reflector Kit

/u/fetoso - I apologize for weighing in late, but I would avoid still cameras (e.g., the GH5) for what you're trying to do. These cameras lack XLR inputs (unless you buy an adapter or external recorders) - and none of them have built-in ND filters if you ever want to take the camera outside.

You should also think seriously about the codec you record to - especially if you ever want to broadcast or project your promotional content in a theater. For that, it would be nice to have a robust 10-bit 4K codec that stands up to a reasonable amount of grading in post (the FS5 has a fairly weak 8-bit codec at 4K - and the C100 is an 8-bit 1080p camera).

With a $30K budget, you can afford more future-proofing than any of these cameras can give you.

That said, I recommend:

CAMERA/HANDHELD RIG/LENSES

• [$5995 Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro] (https://www.amazon.com/Blackmagic-Design-Camera-External-Controls/dp/B06XDKHT3C//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=battleforthew-20)
  
  
• For stage and studio work, I recommend the [$1795 Blackmagic Studio Viewfinder] (https://www.amazon.com/Blackmagic-Design-URSA-Studio-Viewfinder/dp/B01ENU0H8C//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=battleforthew-20) with talkback and tally (pictured [here] (https://media.licdn.com/mpr/mpr/AAEAAQAAAAAAAAdrAAAAJGNjNDE5MmE2LWEwZTAtNDIwNS04ZjQxLWJiZDA5N2RiNDQwYw.jpg))
  
  
• When you want to put the camera on your shoulder, I recommend a [$1495 URSA Mini Viewfinder] (https://www.amazon.com/Blackmagic-Design-Viewfinder-Compatible-Display/dp/B00WRB14EQ//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=battleforthew-20) plus a [$362.80 CAME-TV Shoulder Kit] (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&pub=5575034783&toolid=10001&campid=5337235943&customid=&icep_item=112470092157&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229466&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg).
  
  With this rig, the camera will be ready for the field (as pictured [here] (https://i.ytimg.com/vi/PFMPGX9nQtg/maxresdefault.jpg) and reviewed [here] (https://youtu.be/PFMPGX9nQtg)).
  
  You'll also need a [$269 battery & plate] (https://www.amazon.com/Juicebox-Complete-Battery-Blackmagic-Ursa/dp/B01BG0M4EC//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=battleforthew-20) and a set of high quality cine lenses with decent gearing - perhaps a [$5789 set of Rokinon XEENs] (https://www.amazon.com/Rokinon-Bundle-Video-Canon-Cameras/dp/B015IHJCI0//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=battleforthew-20). [Here] (https://youtu.be/tv6vT9zCV2o) is a 2160p YouTube example shot with an URSA Mini 4.6K and a 24mm XEEN.

  Here are the accessories and support equipment I recommend for this camera:
  
  LIGHTS
  
  
• [Mole-Richardson TweenieLED 100W Daylite 3-Light Kit w barndoors, light stands, case and DMX remote control - $5550.48] (http://adorama.evyy.net/c/60286/51926/1036?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.adorama.com%2Fmr58811.html)

The Senals are great cans - and the replaceable cord will save you money in the long run.)

  This setup will cost your employer less than their $30,000 budget - and enable them to produce high quality, high impact content for any audience - from YouTube all the way up to theatrical release.
  
  Hope this is helpful and good luck putting together the right setup for your needs!
