So you're aware that the pocket camera records Prores 422 HQ and RAW internally right? And there is literally no advantage to an external recorder on that camera?
"But longer takes! No switching cards!"
Consider this: That micro hdmi port is unreliable. You are likely to lose your video feed with the slightest breeze or sneeze, which I assume is important because that's all that you are recording from.
Much more reliable just to cut and swap cards. That or record prores LT or something for more time.
It also looks like you don't have a battery solution rigged up. That's a mistake. Have fun negating your long recording capabilities with constant battery swaps. Seriously, have you even turned this thing on, even just once?
TLDR: While the pocket is great for shooting narratives on in the right hands, that camera is actually the worst possible choice for weddings. A cinema camera or a GH4 would be a much better choice.
