Ahoj! This is Zdenka. What's in my camera bag? Once in a while I like to sit down and
evaluate the contents of my camera bag. I do lot of gear reviews on this channel. And
you know as you grow, as you progress, as you realize
what you need, what you don't need, and the technology when it changes and develops constantly,
some of the items stay and some of the items go. Well, this year the contents of
my camera bag and the bag itself changed drastically. And I gotta say that this content is almost
pefect for what I need. Almost perfect. I am going to show you my youtube and social
media filming and photography kit which helps me to create all the connent here. And you
never know. If you are still looking for some gift ideas, maybe this will help. I am going
to start with the obvious, the camera bag. I am using the PGYTECH One Mo backpack. I
reviewed this one few months ago. Few of you keep asking me if it is still a good backpack,
if I recommend it, what my experience has been. I gotta say that I've put it through
the test. I've been taking it everywhere with me.
It went through mud. It went through some stuff and there is no scratches, there is
no tears, nothing. It holds perfectly. It is super comfortable on my back. I used to
buy probably very terrible bags because this one
is a whole different story. And it's got so many different pockets that few times I thought
I lost something but then, like lens cap. But then actually I found it in one of those
pockets like last night for example. So, what's inside? The main camera I use is the Sony
A7Siii. And the lens which is attached to it
most of the time is the Tamron 17-28mm F/2.8. It's great for vlogging, I can get wide shots
but also medium range shots. Next lens I bring with me is also Tamron 28 - 75mm also
F/2.8. I am saving up for Tamron telephoto lens 70-180mm which would be ideal to have
the complete range I need but since I do have Canon 70-200mm F/2.8, I am able to use it
on Sony camera with Sigma MC-11 adapter. I use
it mostly for photography because the autofocus is great there with this adapter but for video
it's only manual focus so I don’t use it that much with this camera. Inside of the
camera I have 2 memory cards. My choise was to go with the Lexar 128GB SD card. The other
one I have is also Lexar SD card. This one is 64GB though. I have it there just in case
I run out of memory on the first one. By the way all of the items I am mentioning in today's
video I listed i the video description below. Right beside my camera are batteries.
I do carry one extra battery for Sony and if I need to bring my 2nd camera, I place
batteries from that camera there as well. On the
other side beside the Tamron lens I have Freewell Filter Case with all the goodies and also
few cleaning clothes. Inside of the pouch I have here Freewell Variable ND Filter 2-5
stop, another one is 6-9 stop. Mainly for photography I have here Tiffen Polarizer.
Then currently very trendy glow mist FREEWELL filters. One is ¼ and the other one is 1/8th.
Those I will show in future video. Some of the filters are 77mm because I was using them
with my Canon lenses. To make them fit on Tamron lenses which are 67mm thread, I bought
just a cheap step down ring. And of course I carry also Freewell magnetic lens caps so
I don’t have to take the filters down, just us snap it on and all is protected. For filming
on the go, for every day filming, I don’t really bring my gimbal with me. Unless I know
I am gonna be shooting something very specific and it's gonna be lot of it. I am gonna be
walking and running and all that. To help stabilize my footage, I bring Peak design
slide camera strap. Now if you are thinking about gift ideas for any camera, this would
be it. I never used it before, I bought it a couple
weeks ago, I should have bought a long time ago. You just slide the camera in when you
need it and slide it out when you don't need it anymore. I really do highly recommend this.
Absolutely. When it comes to sound for outdoors, I just use RODE videomic GO for now. When
it comes to sound I am still not 100% happy. I am still searching the right products.
I am still looking for the right microphones for my use but I am working with what I have
right now and this will do. I do also use Comica Boom X-D wireless lavalier microphone
when I need to talk away from the camera. The only issue is that when I am using the
lavalier microphone with the Sony camera, every time I start speaking first few words
are louder and then it gets to normal level. I don’t have that really happening with
Canon M6 Mark ii. But I have Sony camera only for few weeks so maybe there is some settings
I need to change, there is still lots I need to figure out. Next important camera I have
in my bag at all time is the INSTA 360 ONE R module camera. And the one I have on is
the 360 camera. Not the wide angle lens. For few reasons. I shoot alone and I don’t have
much time to position andother camera to capture bedhing the scenes for social media all the
stuff. So, with this thing though, I just literally stick it anywhere, I know it is
recording everything around me and I just choose
later in the post those shots I need. Also, I live in a city which has small airport,
so I cannot fly drone here. It's not possible. So for that reason I carry in the car at all
times with me the extra long selfie stick so I can get those extra shots from above.
I just attach it to this Insta 360 camera, it works well for me. Also in the bag I have
here just a short selfie stick for this camera
and universal tripod. If I would be filming outside of this town somewhere where I can
actually fly a drone, I know that my choice would
be to go with the DJI Mini 2. It is on the shopping list somewhere in the lower portion.
One more item I keep in the car at all times for outdoors, and that is my old tripod.
I use that one only for outdoors as it is super light and I don’t mind carrying it
with me. It is the Cameron T210PH but again, that is very old. I am not sure if they are
still selling it. When I am vlogging, I am using
the joby gorilla pod but to be honest, I don't vlog with the Sony camera as much because
simply it is too heavy. If I am vlogging, then
I use Canon M6 Mark ii as it is such a lighter camera. If you gonna be getting joby gorilla
pod, if you gonna be getting it for heavy camera like the Sony one, make sure you get
heavy duty one. There are few different kinds. You need to get the right support for the
weight of your camera. And that would be the basic set up what I need all the time. I do
also suggest carrying in the bag one of these…. Small, very light Weeylite RB08P LED light.
You just never know when you might need it. The rest of the kit really depends on what
I am filming. If I need to use 2 cameras, then I bring the one which is filming right
now and that is Canon M6 Mark II with Viltrox 23mm F/1.4 lens and simple variable ND filter
and like I said before that camera I actually prefer for vlogging because it's so small
and it's so light. And if I am filming a tutorial when it comes to smartphone filmmaking,
then I leave the Canon camera at home. I use Iphone 12 pro and bring whichever gimbal I
need to work with. I hope you found this video useful, especially if you are still looking
for some gift ideas. Give it thumbs up if you did, and if you want to subsribe to future
videos. If you have any questions, comments, or simply want to say Hi or Ahoj which is
Hi and Bye in Czech language, leave it in a comment section below. And I'll see you
in a next video. Cau... Ahoj...
