This was my first ever camera and I loved it. The kit lens is ok. If you switch up to the 12-45f2.8 Olympus you'll be much happier. The Oly 45mm f1.8 is dollar for dollar one of the best lenses on the system. Cannot be beat for value.
Andy I use 2 in my wedding videographery. The big thing I can recommend is the DTSE Battery Grip with remote and 2 batteries. Super helpful, I can achieve 3.5-4.5hrs of 4k30 with a 256gb V60 SD. Also C2 can be programmed for 3 different configurations. C2-1 I have 4k30, 1/60 shutter, Face Tracking AF, Natural color mode (customized to -5,-5,-5,-3,-3), AWB is reliable after calibrated to B -2, M -2 (down 2, right 2). C2-2 Is the same but with EIS enabled, then C2-3 is same but 1080p60 1/125, shutter, EIS, the highlight shadow is adjusted to contrast match the 4k30 settings. Given your one handedness, this will help you a lot since in C2 you press the middle OK button and you can hit the left and right d pad buttons to quickly choose from C2-1, C2-2, or C2-3. I use Auto ISO, and the dials are set that the front spinning is EV +/-3 comp and I have that set to 1/3 increments. While I'm two handed this allows me to use the camera quickly without much fuss.
C1 is Set to 4k30, 1/60, Cinelike-D (-3,-3,-3,-5,-5), AWB and everything else is pretty much same and the controls as well. This is what I use for low light indoors especially, keeps the contrast from being too dark for post editing. Lastly I'd really recommend selling the kit lens and grabbing the 12-35mm F2.8 with a Sioto Wide Angle Aluminum Lens Hood and K&F Magnetic CPL to fit the front of that lens hood. Right now I'm using the 20mm F1.7 and 42.5mm F1.7, however I'm not happy with the 20mm it's slow to AF and only supports AFS and not AFC... If you get any primes for video I'd avoid it.
@Bob Becker, Upon reading your comment, I noticed I was missing my arm. I immediately went to the hospital where the bad news was confirmed. I truly hadn't noticed it so thank you.

Trust me, if I could, I'd just get the Canon XF605 and call it a day. But my budget won't permit. Thanks for the suggestion, maybe one day.
