I use Switt batteries with V-loc mounting, but although I dont use a Matte box, the batteries do improve the ballance somewhat.

I use an Anton-Bauer battery and mount. These are terrific for improving the camera balance.

depends, my IDX battieries weigh about half a kilo, although you can get high capacity ones that weigh a kilo or more. I went with idx because the package got me 2 batteries at a price where i could have gotten only 1 AB.
with the .5kg ones its still a bit top heavy, but handles nicely (Iīm using the .8 wide angle converter though, thatīs pretty heavy too) |

The formatt FM500 matte box is cheap and cheerful, but you'll probably end up removing the flag as it keeps dropping down...
