Hi sixty2/griff - apologies for the delay in getting back to you but am having problems with internet connection. The shoulder rest is the fairly standard one that comes new with the camera and doesn't have the XLR connections. As an example of how little the camera has been used, the shoulder rest is still in its original box. There are two batteries - one is the one originally supplied when I bought the camera amd the second is one I bought subsequently. Various leads are included to connect to dvd/video/tv as is a scart adaptor and battery charger. There is also a second charger which is powered from the car battery via cigarette lighter. Obviously the lens is included as is a padded carry bag. Hope this helps.
