Frame, Light & Monitor
A folding travel tripod for a camera-based setup when you need more height than a tabletop support. Check the total camera-and-lens load and plate fit; this is the full-height alternative to the PIXI EVO below.
Peak Design Aluminum Travel Tripod
A compact alternative for low-angle or tabletop shots, with two-section legs and a head that tilts for portrait framing. Its maximum height is 20 cm and stated payload is 2.5 kg, so it does not replace a full-height tripod.
Manfrotto PIXI EVO Mini Tripod (Black)
A small on-camera microphone supplied with foam and furry windshields plus TRS and TRRS cables. It needs a compatible microphone input with plug-in power; a phone without an audio jack requires a suitable input adapter.
RØDE VideoMicro II
A rechargeable RGB light for a small fill or colored accent on location, with a diffuser and cold-shoe mount included. Check the weight and available mounting points on your camera rig before adding it.
SmallRig RM120 Compact RGB LED Light
Wired closed-back headphones for checking dialogue and background noise while recording. The 3.5 mm plug and supplied 6.3 mm adapter need a compatible headphone output; a microphone-input socket will not work for monitoring.
Sony MDR-7506 Headphones
Carry & Protect the Kit
A 24-liter camera backpack with side access and a removable GearUp camera insert. Lowepro lists space for a full-frame mirrorless camera with an attached 24–70 mm f/2.8 and one extra lens; compare your actual gear dimensions before choosing it.
Lowepro PhotoSport BP 24L AW III Photo Backpack (Black/Blue)
A clip-and-plate system that carries a camera on a compatible backpack strap or belt between takes. Check strap width and thickness, follow the locking instructions and confirm the camera plate is seated before letting go.
Peak Design Capture v3 with Standard Plate (Black)
A wrist strap using Peak Design's detachable Anchor Link connectors, with an adjustable loop. It suits handheld shooting between tripod setups; inspect the anchors and use compatible camera attachment points.
Peak Design Cuff Camera Wrist Strap (Black)
A packable camera-and-lens cover with a viewing window and a cinchable access sleeve. Match the small size to your camera and lens combination, and treat it as weather protection rather than an underwater housing.
Think Tank Photo Emergency Rain Cover (Black, Small)
A ten-pack of reusable hook-and-loop straps for bundling charging and audio cables inside your kit bag, each measuring ½ by 6 inches. The slot can keep a strap attached to one cable; use these only for cable organization, never as a safety tether or ...
Rip-Tie Lite 1/2 x 6" Light-Duty Strap (Black, 10-Pack)
Store, Transfer & Reset
A full-size SDXC card for a camera that supports the selected capacity and card type. Check your camera's required sustained write-speed class for the recording mode you use; a headline read speed is not a recording guarantee.
Lexar 128GB Professional 1667x UHS-II SDXC Memory Card
A dual-slot full-size SD reader for transferring cards to a computer over USB. It is useful after a multi-card shoot, but actual transfer speed depends on the cards, cable and host port.
ProGrade Digital Dual-Slot UHS-II SDXC USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 Card Reader
A small case with fitted spaces for SD, miniSD and microSD cards. It keeps loose cards together between shoots, while the IPX4 seal should not be treated as permission to submerge it.
Pelican 0915 Memory Card Case (Black)
A hand-squeezed blower for removing loose dust from lenses, filters and camera exteriors before contact cleaning. The medium model has a one-way intake valve and stands upright when set down.
Giottos Rocket Air Blaster Dust-Removal Tool (Black, Medium)
A pocket lens-cleaning tool with a retractable brush and a non-liquid cleaning tip. Remove loose grit first and follow the lens maker's cleaning guidance; it is not a camera-sensor cleaning tool.
LensPen Original Lens Cleaner (Black)
