Provided you don't mind the high profile of the Atlas Tx on the camera, or need the V5's manual pass through hotshoe for anything, the Atlas II are more refined with twice the range and higher quality. If moneys not the issue that's a fairly easy choice  . Ok thanks, it's the Atlas II then Canon 5D III, EF 24-105 f4, EF 16-35 2.8 L II, EF 70-200 2.8 IS L II, EF 100 2.8 IS L, EF 2x III, EF 1.4x III, 500D 77mm close up filter, Kenko extension tubes set, SpeedLight 600 EX RT, Metz 58 AF-2, Pixel Kings, Benro C3780T Tripod, Benro G3 Ball Head.
