Carrying Camera Equipment on Location

Video Transcript

"Hi Michael Seto here again and we're going to talk a little bit about, we've talked about the gear you want to bring with you, let's talk a little bit about how you're going to carry all that equipment. You definitely want something like this. This is a Louie Pro backpack, but there is a lot of great makers out there, Tamarack and that sort of thing. This backpack will hold two camera bodies and a lot of miscellaneous gear. It's got padded separators to protect some of the more fragile equipment and you can as well customize the arrangement of the backpack to fit whatever equipment you're bringing, and as you saw here, down here on this table, everything I have here fits either into there or into this gear. Now this is a really good set of equipment here. It's called the Think Tank belt and you can just take this, strap it on, very portable set of equipment. You can carry a couple lenses, a flash, a lot of small equipment in here and it just comes in handy for all sorts of photojournalistic stuff. This set of equipment also comes with built-in rain covers. So if you've got bad weather you can cover all this stuff up, as well this backpack is waterproof. And another good piece of equipment to bring with you is an umbrella sometimes. Not only can you shield the sunlight, if it's too strong, from whatever you're shooting, you can also protect yourself from the rain. So having the right gear is good, but you also need to have the right gear to get it to your destination, wherever you're going to be doing your shoot, in style and safely, comfortably, and protecting the equipment. So thank you very much. Hi Michael Seto here again. Thank you very much for joining me today. We talked about a lot of things all related to a commercial shoot that I did for a jewelry client out of New York. We talked about location, equipment, how to work with the models, some of the different gear, some of the considerations that you have to take into account when shooting outdoors. So I appreciate it. I'm a freelance photographer in New York. Thanks for joining me again and we'll see you next time."
