Q: 2. What is the battery pack? Is that to power the camera or the steadicam itself?

A: The battery powers the Steadicam monitor. No power is required for the Steadicam, it works based upon proper balance and is gravity powered. The camera runs on its own battery.

Q: 3. How do I use a camera that has only HDMI with this rig?

A: While the cable on the top that connects to the monitor is SDI, the monitor itself also has an HDMI input as well. You would just need to run a separate HDMI cable from the camera to the monitor in that case.

Q: 4. If I use my Sony A7SII, what cable do I need to use to be able to connect through the sled to send the signal to the on board monitor? or if it's included already?

A: You would need a DC powered converter box that converts HDMI to HD/SDI BNC. Operators will usually Velcro a converter box underneath the top stage and power it with the Steadicam D-Tap to 2.1mm DC power cable item # 815-0104. The Aero has 1x BNC video input connector and 1x D-Tap power output on the top stage.
