I'm sure you can. But when you are shooting scenes and holding that camera and your back is killing you and your arms are falling off and you have to struggle to change settings (especially if you're using a ring light with ballast)...then you REALLY appreciate the Ready Rig.
One of THE best investments I ever made.
And since I make my living doing this...I'm not so sure I would want to try and shoot "gorgeous" hd video with some consumer cam. No offense to you, but I really enjoy what I do and I would no sooner use cheap gear to shoot movies than I would trade in my Jeff Beck Signature Custom Shop Strat and Bogner amp for a cheap Korean strat and a solid state amp.
