Gurus, please rate my set-up for video!

Hey all, I'm intending to get a portable mirrorless/DSLR mainly for video shooting and the occasional photography. My requirements that I need are below:

Size: Portability! Small form factor is a plus
Video: 4k30fps
Ports: Mic input. (headphone jack out is a plus)
Screen: Swivel/Tilt is good
Stablization:Either IBIS or have compatible lens with stabilization
Lens: As I would prefer lugging around lesser gear, I would prefer only one good lens (instead of multiple primes)
Budget: Would like to keep it below 3k


I've narrowed it down to this set-up: Sony A6500 + MC-11 + Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 ART lens. It fits all my use cases but it costs around $2.7k brand new. (could probably get lesser if I opt for a used lens)

Will this be the best setup for the money? Or could I go with a FF mirrorless or a smaller body FF DSLR?

Thank you

consider these:
RX100 (no mic, 5min 4k recording)
RX10 (AIO)
i believe both have image stabilisation and well below 3k

for audio recording, maybe can invest in a Zoom recorder like h1n instead...just need to sync in post

the 18-35 with adaptor is very heavy (900g+) and for that small range, i rather cheat and use a lighter prime lens like sigma 16mm ($500+)with sony's clearimage zoom!

going FF means more expensive body AND more expensive lens

Have you looked into Panasonic? GH5 with the 12-35 f2.8 should more than meet your needs.
