We have a good amount of gear, but for us, we have a few items in our camera bags that are a MUST (excluding our camera!)
The Aputure MC Light - It is small enough to fit in your pocket, lightweight, bright and customisable. It's battery powered, magnetised, and has an intuitive app where you can link multiple lights and control the colour, temperature, brightness, etc.
The Atomos Global Ninja V Recorder - This nifty gear item is a video monitoring tool that can record in RAW and ProRes, it uses SSD storage and the screen display is very bright. It’s so helpful especially on DLSR/Mirrorless cameras that have tiny LCD screens. The external recording options are also so helpful for different clients and editors.
Gaffer tape - I would say that this is the duct tape of the film industry - it fixes pretty much anything, it’s tearable, can cover light leaks, and be used for safety to block cables from being tripped over.
If you are interested in other nifty tools in our camera bag (or Pelican case), reach out and I would love to chat with you.
