(upbeat, jazzy music)
- [Hallease] Hey everyone, it's me Hallease,
back with another video.
When I'm running and gunning for production
I like to carry my eBags TLS Motherlode Weekender
instead of a traditional camera bag.
There are a few features that I really enjoy about this bag.
One of them being
that there are a lot of different pockets and sections
that allow you to be as organized as you want with this bag,
and carry a variety of different things.
The main compartment
offers two straps going across the width of the bag
for strap down support,
and a really nifty fabric shelving system
which again makes organization a breeze
and also allows you to stack things
without them sliding all around the bag.
A removable pouch is available as well,
for maybe dirty personal items and last minute belongings.
It has an expandable zipper
for when you really need to pack it full,
adding a few extra inches as well.
And finally, hidden and cushioned really well,
is a laptop/tablet holder with pocket and straps.
Now when I'm running and gunning,
this is the gear I like to bring.
With it I can pretty much be a one woman band
and capture everything my heart desires while away
and edit on the fly if I so choose.
Links to all my gear is in the Description box.
First off Jeff my Mavic Pro drone.
Essential to any trip,
this drone is so portable and lightweight it's a must.
I like having a traditional tripod around
so when I need to lock off a shot,
say for a timelapse, I can.
Again, I keep the tripod in it's pouch
so if I want to break off from my full bag
I have that capability.
And speaking of timelapses, this is my Sony NEX-5T,
which is now called the A5000,
and I use this camera
specifically for Sony's timelapse application
and as a Camera Two
if I want a second angle for an interview.
For my main camera I use the Sony A6500
and a basic lens package.
I have a wide angle, mid-range, and telephoto lens.
I also use Rode's VideoMicro when running and gunning
and I plug that directly into the camera.
This all lives in my Tenba carrier.
I use eBag's cushioned pouches for all my cabling and cords.
Jeff's charging pod and power cables live in the big one,
all my SD cards, camera cleaning equipment
and card readers, live in the middle size one,
and finally the smaller size one
holds all of my camera batteries.
Alright, lets pack.
For the main compartment I put Jeff, my tripod,
and the biggest packing pouch.
With the mesh lining I add my larger Rode microphone
that I keep with me
if I want to get better sound than with the Micro.
For the front main pocket I add both cameras,
hard drives, and the remaining two packing cubes,
and the power for my laptop.
I like keeping the stuff in the front pouch
so I have a quick and easy access.
The top pocket fits my Joby Gorillapod really well,
and of course my laptop goes in the laptop sleeve.
Last but not least, I use a Z-clamp
to hold my monopod alongside the backpack
and secure it close by using the sides buckles.
Of course when you're running and gunning
you gotta stay hydrated.
In the Comments below let me know
if you want me to review this Q Bottle, Que Bottle,
I don't know.
It was another impulse buy.
And that's essentially how I pack for a run-and-gun shoot.
Earlier this year I used this setup
to shoot for Evelyn From The Internets.
We spent the day in the park so I kept everything on my back
so we wouldn't have to go back and forth from a car,
and it worked perfectly.
Thanks for sticking around to the end of this video.
I reached out to eBags and they came in clutch.
I have a free Motherlode Weekend Convertible to give away.
I made sure to ask them for the full size one
since I technically own the junior size because I'm petite.
