Building a Video Rig for the Nikon Z6 Camera with SmallRig Parts

Putting together a video rig for use with the Nikon Z6 Camera and Atomos Ninja V recorder/monitor. The object was to create an adaptable rig for both run-and-gun and tripod-mounted use.
The rig incorporates my existing gear, including the Tascam DR60D MK II audio recorder and, depending on the situation, the Røde NTG2 shotgun mic or Røde Wireless GO system, either to the Tascam or direct to the Ninja V.
