GH4 + Sound Devices MixPre-D - how to set up for clean audio into cam?

tubefingers

I'm currently an AF101 shooter but need a lighter/compact option and I'm thinking to buy a GH4 body to use on overseas events jobs with my Olympus 12-40 & 40-150.

I have a MixPre-D and a few sets of Sony wireless radio mic's so what else would I need to get clean audio into the camera so I can achieve the following:

Record audio from the AV desk directly into the cam for presentations etc.(I don't want to use an external recorder and sync in post)
Record interviews on the fly around the event with the radio mic's.

Also can anyone recommend some sort of cage or bracket and shoulder rig for run n gun type shooting with the audio kit attached,

Cheers

Ok, I spoke to CVP in the UK and I can get audio into the cam via Tape Out on the Mixpre to the GH4 input, so now I just need some sort of shoulder mount/cage to attach the MixPre and make the cam balanced, anyone have any recommendations?

It depends on that you need

You can look at cheap ones http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/15929/neewer-cheap-rigs#Item_2

Or use some type of real cage.

Ah ok - this looks like it could work and the price is reasonable with fair reviews on Amazon, thanks been looking online and the prices on some of these rigs are ridiculous - I just need an additional bracket to mount the MixPre to it somehow

By idea can attach good to C arm, it has holes.
