in this video we'll talk about my top three video gear of the year 2017
there's no fire it's just a [ __ ] machine alright 2017 is about to wrap or has wrapped
already depending on when you watch this video but what a year loads of traveling loads of
filming loads of gear and in this video I will talk about my top three video gear purchases
off 2017 so I want to be clear this is not the best year that came out this year but really
what I bought and in fact all the three items I'm going to talk about were actually released the
thing that we have before you've never earlier you can maybe get some cool deals out of it
I think number one top number one gear of the year is definitely this slider it's the
Alacran slider plus small it is actually not small thanks to smart engineering the
slider travels double the distance compared to sliders of the same size you just got a
lot more travel out of it fits perfectly in my backpack I think I used to Don most
of my shots this year totally recommend this it was about 599 dollars back in the day they
have a new version out it's not the cheapest brand but it's certainly very sturdy and very
robust and an awesome tool to have with you to get really smooth tracking shots
this is not a commercial for nice spring water but
drink two liters per day stay hydrated keep the brain running
number two the animal 450 by SL our magic with a 1.33 squeak so what is this this is
an anamorphic adapter if you don't know what anamorphic lenses do I made a quick
video on that earlier this year which I will link up here you just squeeze it on a taking
lens this one is the nifty 50 by canon and then you just loop put it up on front of
your camera it's a bit tricky I have to admit it you have to double focus but if you won't
really want to figure out and you know I tap your toes into anamorphic filming I think this
is really the way to go if you have a budget of about a thousand bucks it was certainly one
of my favorite gear pieces I got this year because it gave me this beautiful cinematic
and different look to my images which I was looking for animal foot adaptor very nice
at least number three in my top gear of the year is this aperture fine HD monitor it helped me a
lot in my filmmaking process to properly frame and focus a shot myself focused focus I mean I'm
surprised how much such monitor actually helped me in the process be it on location and a bigger
production like the music videos I shot earlier this year which you will see soon on my channel
also these kind of shots you know like when I'm standing in front of the camera and you
can't see yourself and easily and better frame it specially with cameras don't have like this
nice flippy screen so I can totally recommend getting a screen because it makes you life just
much easier to do so these are the top three gear purchases i made this year that really
really helped me improve my image and also my production and workflow but before you leave i
wanted to share with you one thing i purchased just recently and haven't used but it's just
hilarious this thing i don't know how what to call it but it's kind of a glove and jacket for
your camera so you can put your camera in here and you're like shoot in really really cold conditions
but i want to know from you like what is the one piece of gear you bought this year that really
helped you out in the filmmaking process let me know down in the comments section maybe i buy it
