Sony PXW-Z150 4K XDCAM Camcorder (PXW-Z150) with 2-64GB Memory Card, 2 Extra Batteries, UV Filter, LED Light, Case, Tripod, Sony Shotgun Mic, Sony MDR-7506 Headphones - Professional Bundle

I got this camera bundle yesterday and started checking everything out. Admittedly, I haven't had a chance to really test the camcorder yet, full disclosure. However, I started trying out the products included in this expensive bundle and I'm very disappointed.1. The shotgun mic which says its a Sony Mic is complete garbage! It barely works! The built in microphone on the camera records better sound than the mic included in this bundle!2. The extra lenses have to be attached with adapter rings (Included). However, the rings defeat the whole purpose of the close up and wide angle shots because you can see the adaptor rings in the shot.3. battery chargers are cheap plastic and have no indicator lights to let you know if the battery is fully charged.4. The cheap light weight tripod is amazing to me! Why would they give you such a light weight tripod with a PLASTIC connector to mount a $3000 camera on?I haven't had time to check the monitor or lighting equipment included in this bundle. The ear phones seem to be the only real quality piece of equipment in the entire bundle!As for the camera itself? I own a Sony Ax 7111 mirrorless camera. That camera is made with a quality metal body. I expected a camcorder from Sony to be just as quality as my Mirror-less but it's all plastic! So far with the little I've used it I see that the video is not great especially for darker situations which is the main reason I chose this Sony model!My use of this camera will be pretty much exclusively for training events and company seminars. In these venues many times the lighting isn't good. With this Sony camcorder when you zoom in say from the back of the room onto the speaker you lose f stops it goes from 2.8f to like 4.0f which lets in less light!I'm also concerned that the camera did not come in an official Sony box. I looks like it was repackaged in a plain brown box with the Sony name stamped on he side. I tried to register my purchase with Sony using the information on this box. Sony says there is no product for the serial numbers and model numbers printed in the box or on the bottom of the camera. Before I purchased this bundle I sent the seller a question asking if there was a warrantee I got no answer! Isn't interesting though that a product this expensive has no option to buy a warrantee when you purchase it? I guess I thought that once I got it and registered it with Sony that I could buy a warrantee through Sony but as I said no such luck. Also, why do the boxes all say made in China or Belgium? I thought Sony was a Japanese product? Is Japan out sourcing its manufacturing to China now?I will test out the camera at an upcoming event I'm going to give it a chance but I'm not feeling great about this purchase or the lack of seller response.

The camera as expected is amazing. Tripod is my only complaint. The head is 100% plastic. It was broken and missing pieces upon arrival. I have yet to hear back from the seller on replacing the defective cheap tripod. The camera, monitor screen, and light and other accessories are nice.
