A: BH #STAHDVL15, which is the model with a V-Mount Battery, should work well with an A7RII.

Q: 4. How do I use a camera that has only HDMI with this rig?

The Aero has 1x BNC video input connector and 1x D-Tap power output on the top stage.

A: The Aero 15 arm/vest has a payload capacity of 15lbs including the sled/battery. This means that your camera payload should stay below 8-10lbs in most cases. if your camera payload exceeds this weight, you should look at the Aero 30 which has a weight capacity of 30lbs.
