- Well if you follow Kai's and my video, you will know
that Kai just did a What's in My Bag Video
and then I now did a What's in My Bag.
Basically, I want to get into Kai's suggested videos.
So maybe you clicked from Kai's video from here as well.
That means I'm successful.
So now this is really similar to Kai's video, as well,
because we're both Billingham fan boys.
Actually he got more than me, I just got three.
But to be honest, this is the Hadley small pro.
I don't really use this as a camera bag
because it's good for a still photo shoot.
Well you can fit a DSLR in it but then that's all.
The problem is because I usually shoot video.
I always have this water bottle.
Actually I never know how to pronounce this,
Si-Sigg aluminium water bottle made in Switzerland,
so it must be good, put this in.
And then my Sony a7SII camera, I'm using now,
and then I barely have space to put a mic in.
That's why I don't really use this for my video shoots,
I only use it as an everyday bag,
so I could have just skipped this one and saved time.
Next one I have this Billingham Hadley Pro,
now this isn't a bag review if you want a bag review,
go check out this, actually over there.
I would want to show you a setup for each different shoot.
I would show you first if this is a light shoot,
this is a very normal, the most of my shoots would be...
quite really just the Sony a7SII
and then just a little bit of other things.
I have a habit to put extra batteries on the front pocket.
You have to have a system to differentiate new battery
and used battery.
I put new battery outside and any old battery,
I just dump it in the general area
because I don't have to look for old battery,
right, you just dump it in,
but new battery I want it to be easily accessed.
As you can see I have a compartment just for my water bottle
the last time I bought a plastic, single-use water bottle
is probably over 10 years ago.
So I would have my Sony a7SII in here,
the Sony a7SII is my only camera for now.
So camera and then the Rødelink wireless lavalier mic,
which is what I'm using now.
Well why would I pick the Rødelink system,
well basically because the price range is right.
And for the price of this, the quality
and the range is really good.
It's really comparable to those more expensive
like Sennheiser or the Sony wireless lavalier system.
They have a much smaller receiver and transmitter,
and they're, like metal body, so good.
But they are so much more expensive,
I've got a random cloth pouch,
I don't know where I get this from
but I just put everything in, I mean the mic itself,
receiver, transmitter and then backup, spare,
AA batteries and they're rechargeable.
Again you just spend a little bit of time to recharge this
so you don't have to buy single use ones.
Everything in one bag so I never forget
just the receiver or forget the transmitter,
everything in one pouch in the bag.
Most of the time, I'll throw in a power bank
and then USB cable as well.
So in case I really forgot to charge my camera
or forgot to charge a mic, I can power them
with USB power bank.
I forgot to mention this,
Rødelink, they can power by USB as well. Really good.
And the filter, this is a SLR Magic fixed ND filter.
I usually bring a three stop or if it's really bright
I will bring a five stop.
You can also check out this video
about why do I pick fixed ND filter,
rather than a variable ND filter.
Well this ColorChecker Passport for video.
I don't really use this part, I find out I only use
the grey card for custom white balance.
Because setting up a custom white balance
is really crucial for any Sony camera.
Custom white balance done with a grey card
greatly improves the colour accuracy on a Sony camera.
And saves a lot of time of post production.
It really depends you may not really need this part
because the whole package is quite expensive
and then SD card, just like Kai.
Kai has this one as well, Pelican SD card case.
Yeah there's a lot of other cheaper card case
but I just like nice stuffs.
I always have more SD card with me
even I know that it's really simple, I only need one card,
I just take it anyway because I have been in situations
that I really suddenly need another card.
Now when I need to bring more stuff like a drone,
I would take this Billingham Hadley One,
because it's bigger, it's simple.
Now when you buy a Hadley One, they'll give you
one of these half inserts rather than this full insert.
I quite like this idea because I would put something
that really I want to protect into this insert,
just like this little drone.
Every time I just bring out my drone
like this in another pouch,
I really like using this kind of random cloth pouch.
I can't really remember where I got this.
Have to put remote and battery in at the bottom
and so they don't crush the propeller of my drone.
Water bottle and my Sony a7SII, and my same accessories,
just find space to stuff them in.
I don't really have them really tidily,
it's just any space I can stuff them in.
Extra batteries, I will also put it in the outside pocket,
mic, everything, this takes so much more to a shoot.
So most of the shoots, I would just use a Hadley Pro,
for more things to carry, a drone or the product,
more product that I have to review, Hadley One.
But then when I go travel, there's also this Hadley One
and to show you that, I will go to the airport now.
So I'm at the airport now,
let me show you what I usually take to trips.
Okay what's in my bag? Of the travelling bag.
Now I don't have to fit my Sony a7SII in here
because I will be shooting vlog anyway,
I have to carry it with me on my shoulder.
I'm using the a7SII and the Røde VideoMic Pro+
the name is getting long, and then I'm using anti filter.
Okay again metal Se- Sigg water bottle,
I don't know how to pronounce it correctly.
You can bring an empty bottle through security,
fill it in afterwards.
So save some money and save the earth.
ColorChecker Passport, I've used it for this shoot as well.
Check custom white balance before I hit recording.
Power bank, toothbrush, toothpaste, cream and this bag is
from KLM Business Class, the last time when I was still
in DigitalRev, we went to Amsterdam.
It was sponsored by KLM, so we got KLM business class.
So good.
It's the only time I can sleep on a plane.
Still using this. Durable.
All the cables.
Headphones, very important for long haul flights.
This is a B&W P3. Elegant, small.
Of course, it's not noise cancelling,
but I just don't want to buy a noise cancelling headphones
just for taking flights, I don't really fly that often.
Now the Hadley One got a sleeve for laptop,
but I need to bring my iPad as well,
so I put them, just stuff them together.
MacBook Pro 13-inch, touch bar.
I love it a lot, I don't know what people are complaining
about this laptop, it's great, it works and small.
And of course for that, I have AC adaptor.
I do have another AC adaptor that's a Anker four port USB
and then one USB-C charger I've checked in,
in the checking luggage.
Now USB-C is powerful enough for this to charge this
while I'm editing on this.
So while I'm in the hotel editing,
I don't really need to have to bring this out.
I just have that to charge my laptop
and all the accessories, the Sony,
mic.. . anything that charge with USB.
That is brilliant, I tell you that.
And because of the power cable,
the USB charger you can change it
so I just change it to the socket type
that is, that matched New Zealand.
I'm going to New Zealand.
I don't have to use those travel plugs,
actually a lot of those travel plugs got safety issues
and for editing, internal storage, never enough,
and I've been using this for the last one and a half year.
So USB-C to USB-C, no dongle at all.
This is SSD, I'm editing on this,
this is a non SSD, the normal rotating disc hard drive.
A little bit slower, I use this actually
for just time machine back up.
SD card case, Pelican, the same one.
A mouse for editing and then I have this
for carry-on luggage.
Uh, again. Billingham Weekender.
Actually, I forgot, one more thing.
I've got my own travel mug? Or whatever,
this kind of thermal cup, I'm going to fill up coffee
from the lounge and just save another plastic cup, paper cup
I think the thing is that I use a lot
of this kind of pouch to organise things
like this is hard drive, backup charger,
power bank, even my mouse.
So in fact, I don't come here just to talk about this,
I'm on a trip to New Zealand.
Last year, Metro Gallery invite me to have a workshop
about making YouTube video, last year.
So this year they invite me again to Levi Allen workshop,
he is a filmmaker, he's a YouTuber as well.
So I'll attend that and the day after that,
I will have a short talk about how to use different mics
for YouTube video.
So I mean if you're interested, please check it out,
I've put the link in the description box.
So that's it for What's in My Bag.
Actually, I show you what's in my bags,
three different types of shoots.
I hope this would help or satisfy your curiosity,
so that's it.
If you like please subscribe, and stay tuned.
See you next time.
I still got one hour to fill up with coffee and edit.
And then get on a flight, 10 hours strapped on a seat.
