I hope you guys had a wonderful
thanksgiving now that it is officially
over this kicks off the holiday season
you are probably struggling to find the
perfect gift for your photographer or
videographer or maybe just yourself
that's why you came to this video I know
it's really hard because you don't know
what they use and also everything that they
use is really expensive and you don't have
that big of a pocketbook but i'm going
to give you some solid gift ideas that
are all under $50
well I just lied to you actually one
item is over 50 bucks but it's a solid
item and I didn't want to eliminate it
from the list the prices reported in
this video reflect today's prices so i
would act fast they may go up or they
may go down and I'll leave a link in the
description below to all these products
so you can easily find them first you
can get them a brand new lens I'm sure
they would really appreciate that
no I'm just kidding this is actually a
stainless steel coffee mug which is
really cool it looks like a regular
camera lens but you can pour coffee in
here or any of your favorite beverages
when I got this as a gift i was really
excited
so I'm sure any photographer or
videographer would love this and this
package also comes with a 16gb
DSLR style USB thumb drive next is a
timer remote switch this is perfect for
timelapses long exposure photography and
also for programed shots
it's a nice accessory to have with any
DSLR camera all photographers and
videographers get dirty lenses from
fingerprints smudges and dust that's why
a simple cleaning kit is the perfect
gift
alright here is my one item that is
over 50 bucks if your photographer is
still using the basic camera strap that
goes around your neck like this it's
time to upgrade them because it's
annoying having your camera bumping up
and down on your chest whenever you walk
so i use this blackrapid strap it gets
positioned kind of like this on my body my
camera angles down to my side when I'm
not using it so it's out of the way and
at the same time I can interact with
clients and just move my hands around
but when I need to take a picture i just
grab my camera from my side pull it
up the strap fire off a shot and when
I'm done I just let it fall to my side
I use this camera strap all the time
so it's brennan approved
next is a portable collapsible
photography stoll now why do you want to
get them a step stoll it's actually
more flattering to take a picture of
somebody looking down on them opposed to
shooting up where you get their double chin and
you also shoot up their nose so be a
good friend help your photographer out
and get them a photography stoll this is
the joby gorillapod tripod i love this
tripod because it has bendable legs and
I can position it on to any surface like
a rock
it's a great travel tripod i take it
wherever I go
it's good for shooting timelapses long
exposure photography and also for group
shots so I can mount this on the surface
put my camera here set it on a timer and
then take a picture of my group with me
in it so this is one of my favorite
accessories for my video camera and
photography camera and it would make a
great gift for anyone
photographers and especially
videographers need extra storage so you
can never go wrong with some extra SD
cards i use this one by transcend its a
128gbs i use
this card for photos and in addition
it's capable of recording 4k video
next is this adapter or dongle what it
does is you can plug it directly into
your iphone and then take your memory
card that has your photos or videos on it
and then insert that into your adapter
and now you can directly import and view
your photos and videos on your phone a
nice stocking stuffer is this lens pen
and blower kit where you can easily clean your
lens and blow the dust off without using
any wipes or liquid solution
the last item on my list is this book
how to create stunning digital
photography if your friend or family
member is just starting to get into
photography
this is a great book for them it shows
them how to use their camera and how to
shoot different scenes like portraits
weddings landscapes it's a really
excellent all-around book so that is my
gift guide for the holiday season there is a
little bit at every single price range
and there's something for everyone
