What are the essential accessories for a new Sony a7IV?

+1! Market research shows Lexar Professional 1667x 128GB SDXC UHS-II is cheap but I unfortunately had issues. Tbh ProGrade Digital SDXC UHS-II V60 Gold is just way safer for ur 4K.

Late to the party but curious about one thing: what bitrate are you planning to shoot at? Basically, higher bitrates need more stable cards so the camera doesn't freeze up. Safety is everything, so I think you might want to consider: * Sony TOUGH-M series SDXC UHS-II 128GB V60
* SmallRig Cage for Sony Alpha 7 IV 3667 Be careful with cheap brands... losing footage actually sucks! gl

Yo, congrats on the a7IV! Seriously, it's such an amazing camera. I've been shooting with mine for a year and honestly, its a beast for street and video. About those cards... its basically a trade-off between price and speed: Option A: Sony TOUGH-G series SDXC UHS-II 128GB V90. Pros: Fast enough for EVERYTHING including S&Q. Cons: So pricey!!
Option B: ProGrade Digital SDXC UHS-II V60 Gold 128GB. Pros: Half the price, works for most 4K. Cons: Might struggle with the highest bitrates. Best choice? V60 is fine for most, but I went V90 cuz I hate buffer issues, right? Also, you DEFINATELY need a better strap - the stock one is kinda trash lol. I love my Peak Design Slide Lite Camera Strap. Plus, maybe look into the SmallRig Baseplate for Sony Alpha 7 IV to help with the grip. Enjoy! peace 👍

Yo, just be reallyyy careful with ur media choice and batteries! Option A: V60 cards work for basic 4K, but Option B: V90 is way safer for high bitrate All-I settings. TBH, avoid cheap third-party batteries cuz they might swell and damage the camera body. Idk, but I would suggest a decent cleaning kit too since sensor dust is highkey annoying for street photography. GL!

just found this... most 4k video works on v60 speeds. i tried a cheaper card:
- saved cash
- zero issues
honestly it works great for my daily setup!
