What are the must-have accessories for the Sigma fp?

Question

I saw the SmallRig cage and the HG-11 grip online but everything looks so bulky for my street setup in Berlin. My logic was keeping it light but the battery is trash so Im stuck with a $200 budget.

What are the actually essential accessories for this thing?

@Reply #2 - good point! In my experience, keeping it light for street work is key so I usually skip full cages. I've tried many setups over the years and prefer these options:SmallRig Base Plate for Sigma fp APU2664: Adds grip without the bulk.Samsung T5 Portable SSD 500GB: Fast for high bitrates but needs cables.SanDisk Extreme Pro 128GB SDXC UHS-II: Keeps the profile tiny and stealthy. Dont overcomplicate things... just focus on the basics.

I once spent a whole day shooting street and went through four batteries before lunch. That 1200mAh capacity is just too low for consistent work. I think you should focus on:

Buying at least three extra batteries.

Adding a hot shoe thumb grip for ergonomics.

Not sure but IIRC, a small wood handle might be lighter than metal cages. Its definitely a trade-off between weight and utility.
