Hey what's up guys!
Welcome to another episode of Pan The Organizer, where you and I work together to help you
organize different aspects of your life!
In today's show, we're going to check out what's in my camera bag!
So basically, all the equipment that I use to produce my YouTube videos.
Let's check it out!
I hope you're all doing well today?
So to kick things off, let me just remind you that all the items that I'll be talking
about in this video will be linked in the description down below to make it easy for
you guys to see the exact models, and if you guys want to go ahead and purchase anything,
feel free to do so!
So to kick things off, well it's the actual camera bag itself.
This one here is from Lowerpro.
I love these camera bags.
So what I like about this one is that it has multiple pockets, side ones if you want to
put water bottles, some nice comfy straps to strap around you.
When you unzip it in the back, you have access to all the storage compartments.
So that's pretty cool!
You can stack everything right in there: your camera, your mics, your audio recorders, SD
cards, battery packs, what ever you guys need basically for photo shoots or video shoots.
In the tabs here, you also have some additional pockets to put some SD cards inside, some
wires, and all that kind of good stuff.
So these are great bags, they're lightweight, they're super durable.
This one here is the Flipside 400 AW.
On my shoots, I always have a second bag ready to go.
This is also a Lowepro.
This is the smaller Flipside 200 model.
And basically this holds my second DSLR camera.
Now the camera that I usually film with is the brand new Canon 80D and that's an amazing
camera for shooting video especially.
It's a DSLR camera and my lens of choice on it is the Sigma 18 to 35 mm Art series 1.8.
A lot of YouTubers are using this lens now because it creates super crispy shots.
So as I said before, the camera that I use for my main camera is the new Canon 80D.
Why I love this bad boy is because of its great autofocus system which is essential
to shoot videos for YouTube!
It basically allows me to continue shooting videos on my own, and it follows, it tracks
my face and locks onto it and follows so I never have to worry about not being into focus.
Now I use the Sigma 18 to 35 1.8 Art series lens.
This is probably one of the sharpest lens for the money.
It has a great shallow depth of field to get that cinematic look with the blurry backgrounds
if you want so.
It produces a super sharp image with great colours.
The other thing that I like about Canon DSLR cameras like this one is the flip out articulating
screen.
So basically, it allows me to be able to frame my shots.
My backup camera is the Nikon D7000 series camera with an 18 to 105 mm lens.
So this is a great backup camera for any type of B-roll.
It shoots decent video, not as good as the Canon 80D because it doesn't have that amazing
autofocus system that the Canon model has, but for stills, amazing, and like I said for
B-roll shots, very decent camera.
I have a 70 to 300 mm lens as a backup for the Nikon as well.
For my vlogging style shoots, I use the Canon 10 to 18 mm image stabilized lens.
This is a super lightweight wide-angle lens that is used by pretty much all the YouTubers
who love to use their DSLR, their Canon DSLR, for vlogging.
This is made popular by Casey Neistat.
You guys have probably seen his shoots.
So this is the lens that he uses.
So the good thing about this lens is that it's ultra lightweight, it's compact, and
it has image stabilization built-in.
So it helps to reduce all that shakiness when you're shooting videos especially vlog style
because you're holding your camera, and well obviously you don't want to have a lot of
vibrations.
In low light situations, I like to use compact LED lights.
This is for either photo or video.
It's by the company called Lume Cube and these little bad boys shoot up to 1500 lumens of
light.
You can go check out my review of them on my channel, I reviewed them not too long ago.
I always carry a battery charger and an extra battery for my DSLR camera.
I carry MicroSD and SD card USB adapters.
A USB key, always handy.
I always carry extra SD cards.
Trust me, you don't want to run out of space while you're shooting video.
My favourite brand is SanDisk.
They're a bit pricier than the other brands, but these guys have amazing quality.
I also have some Lexar units that are very very good.
To set my white balance, which is a feature that's super important to have accurate colours
that are displayed on people's screens, I use a grey card.
Now I have this Joby tripod.
This is amazing for the vlogging style that Casey Neistat has made so popular.
Once again, hats off to you Casey, you're amazing!
So basically what you do is you hook up your DSLR camera on there and you can hold it at
arm's length and film yourself vlogging.
Also, the legs can be spread apart, and you can use it as a normal tripod.
You can tie it around things, cause they're super flexible and bendy.
So this is an amazing company.
This one is a pro model so it's super sturdy.
Next, I carry a remote to control my DSLR camera from a distance.
So if I want to take pictures or start my videos, because most of the time I'm shooting
alone, well this allows me to do so.
So it starts the recording or takes a picture with just the push of a button.
I also always bring my trusty Apple iPhone with me.
This is the iPhone 6.
So not only is it lightweight and compact, for any quick to shoot stuff, this is amazing
to just pull out and start shooting either video or take a picture.
Now to increase the audio quality of the iPhone, I use the Rode VideoMic Me.
Now this is a shotgun style microphone, and it's super simple to use.
You basically snap it on to your phone, and now you have a very high quality microphone
when you do recordings, when you do selfie videos.
It also comes with a furry dead cat, so that's to cut wind noise when you're outside so you
just put this onto the microphone and BOOM!
Now if I'm vlogging with my DSLR camera and I want better audio then what's onboard the
camera, I use this guy.
This is the Rode VideoMicro shotgun style microphone.
Now it comes with a hotshoe mount.
So you basically you just stick on top of your DSLR.
So it goes right on top of there just like so.
You plug it in, and again this increases the audio quality by a lot!
Now to cut down on vibrations, this mic is mounted on a shock mount.
So to prevent any vibrations from being picked up by the mic.
Now for the best of the best audio quality, I use a lapel mic.
And this one here is the Sennheiser AVX wireless mic system.
This is broadcast quality audio, and it's used by a lot of professionals.
And all my audio gets recorded onto this Zoom H5 external audio recorder.
Now this guys has better preamps that what come with the Canon 80D.
So basically less noise in the sound and a higher quality audio.
I also carry a battery charger.
This kit here is from Apple.
All of you who shoot video or even take pictures, know just how important having juice is, so
you guys need your batteries and your external battery packs!
I like travelling, and when I'm in another country, I like to use a universal adapter
which has all sorts of plugs built-in.
My tripod of choice is the Manfrotto 055 series tripod and on it I use a video head also by
Manfrotto.
So that pretty much sums it up for everything that I put and carry with me in my camera
bag!
I'll leave some less expensive alternatives for you all in the description down below
if you want to check it out.

and how you can actually starting shooting and editing your videos to put your ideas

So that's it for today's show guys.
