update our what to buy to start your
video list so here's the updated list

videographers face i know the industry i

I just JPMorgan today on the slanted
lens we're going to take a look at that
how to start your studio equipment need
to buy to start your studio from three
different points of view we're going to
update today to look at those three
different places to enter in the market
and to be able to put together enough
equipment you can get out take pictures
and make some money and that's what this
is all about giving the equipment you
need that when you say starts to do is
to start to make money and photography
this list is starting your studio from
scratch it doesn't take into account you
may have a camera and lens already or
you may have a computer already i think
the one thing we didn't put in this with
you really kind of have to have it
somewhere look at images a computer a
laptop some way to be a look at images
does not have to be a magnet osh does
not have to be a brand-new mcintosh but
some way to be a look at images that's
not including these numbers this first
category is thirteen hundred dollars
dishes a very inexpensive way to get
into the market to be able to make some
money around $13 take a look at it first
a canon rebel p 7 I was gonna have an 18
to 55 millimeter lens as a kid lands
this is a great entry point when people
ask me what camera should i buy when I
just want to start in photography
this is a camera you should buy you can
go down little more to the older ones 45
I or one of those as well but the t7 is
brand-new comes out in March the great
place to start with that you're going to
have to have some way argument the light
so i gotta photoflex multi-disc
reflector in there so you got that
reflectors you can bounce a little light
on the person can be shooting most
natural light with this kind of thirteen
hundred dollar kit you're not gonna have
money four strokes of things going to
stand to be able to put that reflector
on so that cool stand together universal
standard that that stand will last you
your entire career
it truly well you probably abuses it to
death then we're gonna have a sandisk 64
gig card
interestingly enough when i did this
lesson last time you can hardly
at a 32 gig card for this price of
thirty-five dollars now you can get a 64
gig card so things those cards have
dropped down price quite a bit in a
clamp so you can just clamp your
reflector on the stand and we're gonna
have a tripod the Vanguard out the 233
agh tripod that has the pistol grip on
it
the reason i put a tripod in this kit
and a lot of using LA I would probably
never use it
I want you to learn how to use a tripod
and once you learn what a quarter twenty
years I want to learn how to put your
camera i wanted to become part of your
workflow and think about times you're
going to use that you won't always use
it when you use some time and last of
all we've got to have a card reader a
way to be able to read your cards you
can look at it on your computer so just
to recap the list we've got a cannon 70
I with a lens we've got a reflector
stand to put that reflector on and a
clamp to hold the reflector we've got a
tripod to start to learn how to use our
tripod and we've got a card reader and a
card and we're often ready to go
so in this next kid we're going to raise
our prices almost three thousand dollars
it's going to give us the ability to get
a little nice your camera some things
but it's going to give us some options
we didn't have in our beginning kit
first going to start with a canon eos 7d
7d this is a new camera is just coming
out it's a crop sensor camera but a
fabulous camera with a great picture
account so check that one out
we're going to put with the 828 75
millimeter lands at the crop sensor land
so it's made for that camera so it's a
328 275 2.8 lens but that's more of a
wide to portrait lands and i like that
lends a lot because of that 75
millimeter gives you ability to get on
the face a little better than I for kind
of portrait lens we can also go now with
some strokes we're going to to as a
Bobby fours so they have to be four so
before that battery platform can take
that other location shoot anywhere you
need to whether it's just a fabulous way
to work but with strobes you got to have
several things to support them
we've got a wireless transmitter then we
got to be able to modify our strobe so
we've got a photo flex extra small cock
dome
I like the oxygen because it's round
gives you a nice catch light in the is
just a pretty look for me and one
photoflex convertible umbrella i love
that convertible umbrella because you
can pull the cover off from it and shoot
through it get a beautiful light like
that or you can leave a cover on and
bounced out of its a great light so then
we gotta have a speed ring for our
softbox we're gonna add that as well and
we're still going to keep our photoflex
multi-disc reflector we now have three
stands one for each of our heads and one
for a reflector we've got a 64 gig
memory card a card reader
her and a clamp and our tripod our
Vanguard 233 agh tripod and there's our
three-thousand-dollar kit now in this
last get we're going to go all the way
to almost 5,500 dollars gives us a lot
more options we're starting to get into
more professional equipment and
equipment than last year throughout your
entire career
we're going to step up to an older
camera and there's a reason I do this I
like the eos 6d I like the 60 because a
full-frame camera you have the ability
now to have a high pixel count on full
frame just give you gorgeous images and
but it's a very inexpensive way to get
into the market if you're going to get
into that full-frame world and I think
you should so I think it's a great
camera
we're going to step up to the 24-70 so
true 24-70 it's the Tameron 24 72.8
throughout which gives you a great lands
to use on that full frame camera we have
our baja be six so we have a b6 a little
more power and then we have two of our
baja be four so we now have a
three-stroke kit so you can do three
point lighting you can have a key light
a rim light a fill light and just be
able to set things up in the studio and
on location with those Baja's you have
the ability to be outside inside it
works fabulously we're going to have
three speed rings now so we can put
modifiers all three of the light
switches for or just one two or three
whatever would like to have we're going
to again we need our wireless trigger so
you can fire them
we now have three strokes head so we've
got to modify those strokes head so i
have included an extra small octomom
which is very small gives you nice catch
right in the eye and a small oxygen
which is a larger octa dome you could
replace the small consumed with a
softbox and medium soft box both of
those would be interchangeable doing
very similar kinds of things you have to
decide which one works best for you then
we go through that convertible umbrella
so we now have our three ways to modify
those three different lights which gives
us some options we have our speed rings
to be able to put modifiers on those
lights and then we have to have forced
and 34 our lights and 14 are reflector
this is a very solid kit now you have
you will ability to put up a reflector
and a light or three lights and
reflector a lot of options with that
setup last of all we've got our sand
distance before gig card and I think on
this one I'm going to speak in goose and
districts before get cards because
you're gonna need them and maybe even
300 you can always get three in this
package and still keep it
that price of 5300 dollars and then we
have our a clamp going to have made
clamp for your reflector and last of all
I'm gonna step up to a much nicer tripod
this is the Vanguard also pro 284 carbon
tripod they're lightweight they're
fabulous care around they're much more
expensive but just a lightweight
portability of this tripod makes it
worth the money you spend on it so
there's your kids you're 16 or 24 70
your three monoblocks your modifiers
your reflector your stands you're a
clamp your card reader your tripod and
you're ready to go
so there you have it there are three
entry points into the world of making
money with your camera
the first one is just about camera and
just one little reflector second one is
it more about strobes Billy give you
more ability to shoot in different
places different times and elastin gives
you a really nice full frame camera that
gives you the ability to give you great
images and a full three point lighting
system so check those out forgot which
one works best for you take a little bit
of each if it works for you to do that
most of this equipment is going to last
year your entire career with the
exception of the cameras and lenses
you're probably gonna want to upgrade
those as you become a little more
professional as you understand you want
to do different things are going to
change that but the rest of equipment
can last you pretty much the rest your
career so keep those cameras rolling
keep on thinking if you want it's a
great workforce lighting kit at this new
start like get my phone flex or giving
one away now so get over the slanderous
comments final day it's the life the Fox
