I started filming weddings recently, now i'm planning to buy
the XL H1a from canon with the following setup.

I want to know your suggestion. Am I missing some stuff and maybe you got a better suggestion on the stuff that i'm planning to buy.

This is what i'm planning to buy.

canon XL-H1a
2x canon BP-970 battery
Canon video light VL-10LI
tripod Libec LS-38
Kata camcorderbag
Kata raincover
glidecam smooth shooter with the 4000 pro
Rode NTG-1 microphone

One more question, how well is the standard microphone that comes with the XL-H1a.
There isnt much written about it.

I seriously doubt you'll like that Canon light. It will most likely be really "spotty" with any widescreen frame.

Hmm, ok. Any other suggestions for a nice videolight that costs below 220,- euro's.
