What's up beautiful people? It is your homegirl Ms. Shameless
back with another Tech Talk.
And this video is all about what's in my camera bag.
I have several camera bags,
but this is the one that I use on the regular.
The reason why I'm doing this video is because you guys
want to know what's in here.
I'm hesitant to do videos like this because
I don't want you to think that you can't shoot
unless you have this stuff.
You can work with what you got, so don't be discouraged.
If anything, pin this as like inspiration
when you get all that paper and it rains on ya. [cashier ding]
Okay, let's get into it!
[♪ inspiring music plays] [Maya sings a tone]
Okay, first up is my Canon 6D full-frame sensor camera.
I bought this, I have two cameras --
I'm filming on the 5D.
But because I want to show you guys what's in here
I'm going to use this as a second camera,
but know that one of these cameras,
usually not both just one, is in this camera bag.
Okay, next up is my lenses. I usually travel with two.
This is the 24-70 and this is 100mm macro.
This is wide, this is hella tight.
I usually just use this, especially for videos like this,
but it's good to have two lenses.
They don't have to be these ones,
but this is what I travel with.
Bam! Let me just keep this out
so you guys can look into my camera bag, okay?
Two camera setup, let's get into it!
Hi, camera two. Okay, so we talked about lenses.
I like to have a second camera just in case.
In this bag I have my Sony, this is the 5100.
Again, two lenses, I have my wide and this one is a 16mm,
and this one is a 35mm.
Now, because it isn't a full frame sensor,
it multiplies the lens,
so this is kind of like a 50 and this is kind of like --
I don't know -- 24, depends on what size the sensor is,
and let's not get into all of that.
And with this camera, because it's so light,
I like to have this.
This is a grip and I just put it underneath.
A lot of these items I put on my Amazon store,
so you can find it.
I am not the seller of it, I just collected it.
But there. What I like about it, it's like a shotgun.
A shotgun grip, so it's just like --
[making machine gun sounds]
I'm just shooting.
But it stabilizes the camera and you look super-like cool,
you know what I mean? Like, hey. How's it going?
Conversation piece. Okay.
Next up! Batteries.
Make sure you guys have batteries, extra batteries.
The worst is when you're filming and your camera is dying
and you don't have batteries.
So I have double-A batteries, rechargeable.
I got rechargeables for my Canon
and I do have rechargeables for my Sony.
But it's just not in here.
But always have rechargeable batteries.
Don't be that person, unprepared.
It's happened, trust me.
Okay. Then I have recording devices. Wireless lavs.
This is money, honey.
Like this bag is like thousands of dollars.
And I have my zoom.
So if I use these lavs, I plug it into my zoom.
If I don't I'll just use my zoom mic.
Because I have this in this video I'm actually recording
on my iPhone. It's tucked in here with a makeshift tripod.
So yes, you need the audio.
And because I'm recording, you need to hear how it sounds.
So I have my House of Marley noise cancelling headphones.
And I just plug this bad boy into here.
Obviously this can only happen
if you have more people shooting with you,
because I would not be in a video seen like this.
Like, duh. [ding]
But it doesn't hurt to pack it. Just be prepared.
It's better to be over prepared than under prepared,
cursing yourself.
I do that all the time! Don't you guys do that?
You're like, I don't need to bring that and then you don't,
and you're like, "Why didn't I bring it?!"
Next up. If you can see I have this tripod.
I love this tripod. It's the MeFOTO Tripod.
I like it because it's small and compact.
I love travelling light
because I don't want to carry heavy things with me.
But I have two of these tripods, this is the bigger one.
But I like the way it folds and how compact it is.
But I could put it in here,
on my other camera bag I put it on the outside.
Why I like this bag is because it's big enough to hold
all this stuff.
Next up is my memory card case.
I got this one because it's super bright and noticeable.
Which means I won't lose it, all of this stuff is black,
it's easy for my brain and my eyes to like not see stuff,
but I'll see this!
Inside of this we have memory cards.
I like to have more than one because you never know;
one will stop working, one is faulty,
and for multiple recording devices I have two cameras
so that's for two cameras and then I have my zoom,
which requires another memory card.
So try to pack enough. Bam!
Don't get lost! Stay where you are.
Okay, cleaning supplies.
Let me tell you it's so helpful.
When I watch video playback on my computer
I see like a dust spec and I get so mad because
I'm like, that dust spec, I can't edit out,
it's stuck there.
So I like to have cleaning supplies with me.
You can spray in here.
This is light.
They also do have the ones in the can that can spray out.
I don't suggest that, especially for internals.
This is a dirty sensor.
If it's very dirty take it in and get it cleaned.
I don't want to do that right now.
Let's not open Pandora's Box, let's close it.
And then I have, it's like a makeup brush.
It's like for bronzer slash blondes! No I'm joking.
It's for your lens.
I like to get all the dust off the lens.
If you're going to go in your camera, try to point it down
because there's sensors in here and it's sensitive.
Cloth. A microfiber cleaning cloth.
This is great for your lens.
Lens cleaners. That always comes in handy.
I got two, you only need one, whateva.
You only need one lipstick, but I have a million. Hello.
Next! Camera strap.
I don't have my camera strap on my camera
because it gets in the way of the shot,
especially when I'm hand-holding,
but I do have it, in case I do need it.
I'll just tuck you right over there. I got this on Amazon.
I want a cuter camera strap, though, anyways.
And then I have this flap.
This flap-a-ma-wrapper.
Flap-a-ma-wrapper-wrapper.
Okay, USB cord.
If you can get a long USB cord this is helpful
when you're filming by yourself.
You can plug this into your Canon and this into your laptop
so you can have a live playback, very helpful.
Make sure it's long. Like at least 7 feet, if not 10 to 12.
That's in here.
I also have these gray cards. I don't ever use them,
but I have them.
That's if you're trying to white balance.
So I have grey, black, white.
This is very helpful. This clamps comes in handy.
Try saying that three times fast!
Accessories. You never know if the model is too skinny
and you need to clip her wardrobe.
Or you can hang things with this. I got two.
They're just little knicks and knacks, you just never know.
It's like a girl's travel bag.
You just never know if she's going to get her period,
you have extra pads and tampons. That's what that is, okay.
A quarter. You need a quarter with you or keys,
especially on the base of tripods.
Some tripod bases, if you're lucky,
have this little handle so you can turn,
and some of them don't,
which is why this quarter comes in handy.
So you can put some loose change in your bag,
but it makes life easier, especially when it's a quarter.
You can do your keys, but the quarter is really helpful.
And I'll just put that little guy in here.
[baby talk] I just put him back where I got him.
There you go.
With YouTubers, and shameless selfie people alike,
remote control is helpful.
So I have a remote for my Sony
and I have a remote for my Canon.
I got them both on Amazon.
This one's cool. Multiple buttons are always cool.
There's like a 2 second timer, there's like an immediate one.
On the camera it's like a 10 second timer and a 2 second one,
so I just like to fire it off.
But this is helpful when you're filming by yourself
and you don't have no one to press a button for you.
[pretending to be emotional] No one!!
Next. We got scissors. You always need scissors.
Moleskin padding.
This is if you are filming with your lavs,
that's what I use it for.
So this mic, right over here, goes in my shirt,
and I stick it down with some moleskin.
Or you can use medical grade tape, surgical tape,
whatever gets this to stick onto your chest.
You can do a test patch,
in case you're allergic to the adhesive.
I don't want y'all breaking out in rashes and blaming me for it.
But yeah, that's what they use on set.
And when I say set I mean like movie sets and stuff.
And then finally we have this giant condom --
for my bag.
Get your mind out of the gutter, guys.
Weather conditions are a reality out there
in the treacherous landscapes of nature.
So here you go.
Do I use this? No, I didn't even know I had it in my camera bag.
There you go, it's like a pillow case.
Maya, not a condom. Pillow case is a better term.
But there, you can use it on your bag,
or you can even double this up and use it on your camera,
depending on which is more important for you.
And this is for weatherproofing, whether it's raining or snowing.
Okay, but this bag is cool. Think Tank,
not sponsored, but y'all can holla at your girl!
I bought this from Sammy's Camera,
I bought it because it was big,
it had those compartments that I can move around.
It has lots of pockets.
And because I do travel a lot,
whether it's in the city or on a plane,
this is helpful.
To give you some perspective on size.
[valley girl voice] It's so not complimenting my outfit!
But see!
[♪ upbeat music] [singing] ♪ Backpack, backpack ♪
♪ backpack, backpack ♪
I feel like Dora the Explorer.
What I like about it is there is padding.
Go big or go home. I do have other camera bags too.
They're smaller.
If you want to see those videos like this video
and let me know in the comments below
because we got lots of them.
[♪ 80s music] She's not chic, but she's practical, she's on the go.
She's working. She's getting the job done.
[♪ tribal music] She's getting the shot guys.
She's in the woods. She's tracking the lioness.
I don't know what accent that is.
