Sadly, it's hard to find a VG30 (with the power zoom lens) for less than $2000
But I guess you could put together a [$1798 VG30 body] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0097G4TZU/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0097G4TZU&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20), a [$199 Sigma 19mm f2.8 lens for E mount] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BPZD0M4/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00BPZD0M4&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20) and a [$17 Hosa XLR to 3.5mm adapter/transformer] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002IAJ2O/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0002IAJ2O&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20) for just over $2000 - but for that kind of money, I would just go ahead and get a [$1698 Panasonic GH4] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I9GYG8O/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00I9GYG8O&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20), a [Sigma 19mm ] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BPZCYK8/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00BPZCYK8&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20) and the [Hosa XLR adapter] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002IAJ2O/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0002IAJ2O&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20). With its cinematic 4K output, the GH4 is a much more capable camera than the VG30.

By video camera, they probably mean things specifically designed for video that tend to be huge.
You should be fine with a DSLR so long as it isn't attached to a large lens like a 70-200 f/4 or the like.
