Must Have 2021 Gear
We often get asked about our travel gear but since the lockdown, people are interested in our commercial shooting gear. Below, you will find all of the gadgets we use on a weekly basis to create the content our clients love. Some are bigger ticket items and some are the fun, cheaper finds we can’t go without while at hone or on the road.
Follow us on Instagram and let us know what gear you just can’t replace.
1. The Most Anticipated Camera in Years
2. Let There Be Light
3. All About Glass
All lenses are not created equal. That said, we are not huge fans of spending thousands of dollars on one single lens when some brands out there are making incredible “comparable” glass for a lot less. We get it, a sweet G Master 600mm is nice to have but at a hefty price of $13,000, let’s skip it!
Let’s look at a 24mm prime lens that would fit the Sony e-mount system. Sony makes a delicious looking G Master F1.4 lens for just under $1,300.
In comes as no surprise that we would have a plethora of inexpensive lenses to recommend but there is a caveat. The one lens we will spurge for eventually for a few reasons is the one and only: 24-70mm F2.8 G Master zoom lens. It’s almost $2,000 which is why it is hard to justify the cost but once you try it (and we have), the amount of care in making that glass is apparent. With a constant F2.8 throughout the zoom, it truly feels like an exquisite prime lens with zooming capabilities. For fans of bokeh, this one is sublime and we’re in love with the custom button right on the lens. It has to be said that if you do not like heavy lenses, this one will have you swearing up a storm.
Below are the lenses we use on a regular basis and some that are in our cart for the near future.
4. Cage + Accessories
This section serves three purposes explaining why you may want to be using a cage for your cameras on your next shoot:
3. The last one is a little silly but such a reality when dealing with some clients. It is clear that some clients will judge you by the gear you use and therefore justify the cost and your production value even before you show them a single frame of footage. Showing up to any type of shoot with a slightly bigger rig with monitor, lights, microphone, handle, etc. will work in your favor right away. The only issue now is to back it up with some actual talent and make use of those accessories to their full potential 😉
The links below are the various accessories we fit our cage (depending on the shoot) to protect our camera and help us shoot with the least amount of wasted time and the most versatility.
5. Reflectors + Backdrops & More
Here are some of the cheaper products you can buy that will make the most difference in the quality of your productions. Whether you’re shooting products or on location shooting talent, having one or all of the items below will definitely up your game.
Our Favorite 5 in 1 Light Reflector
Our Favorite Backdrop Support System
Our Favorite Rotating Turntable
Our Favorite Backdrop Support System
Our Favorite Fairy Lights for Bokeh Background
Our Favorite Flat Lay Backgrounds
Our Favorite Reflective Surface (B&W)
6. Office Essentials
It’s not always all about shooting, creating content, traveling and being on the go. Everyone needs a functional office space to get things done. Here is our set up and we absolutely LOVE it.
Our Favorite Adjustable Electric Desk
Our Favorite Ergonomic Office Chair
Our Favorite Anti Fatigue Mat for Standing Position
Our Favorite Peg Boards for Organizing
Our Favorite Editing & Everyday Laptop
Our Favorite Vertical Laptop Stand
Our Favorite Wireless iPhone Charger
