More about the LUMIX GH5:

The LUMIX GH5 and GH5S have the same form factor, meaning that any cage or accessory that you select for either body will work on the other.

The size and weight of the GH5 and GH5S and LUMIX lenses means that you can easily rig and shoot handheld for extended periods, without impacting your shoot or having to compromise on the codec or the final quality of your output.
