items When I started traveling with my family, I used to carry a huge backpack with all of my gear, as if I had been hired to take photos and videos of every country and city we visited. So you can imagine how annoying it was to constantly switching lenses...

The accessories that make the setup practical
The “go-to” ND filter for VIDEO
Gives the ability to control the AMOUNT of Light hitting the sensor WHILE keeping the shutter speed & aperture where you want them to be.
The 2-5 Stop Range is ideal for everyday Outdoor Shooting, Travel, and Vlogging.
Use 82mm version to also have the capability to adapt to the 77mm Travel Lens WITH a Step-Up Ring.

VARIABLE ND FILTER
This adapter makes the two-lens filter system work. The 24-105mm uses a 77mm filter thread while the VND is 82mm so this allows the ability to use the same 82mm ND filter on BOTH lenses instead of carrying two separate filters.
POLARPRO 77-82mm BRASS STEP-UP RING
PREVENT Scratches, Fingerprints, and Everyday Abuse.
SCREEN PROTECTOR
ALWAYS carry (at least) two extra batteries for a full day.
More Batteries = More Freedom

PRO TIP: always carry your external hard drives with you on your travels or gigs.
Highly recommend to buy 2 external hard drives.
It keeps your laptop storage free which makes it go faster.
I honestly lost count of how many of these I have.
Every chance I get, I transfer all of the photos and videos to my external hard drive then I sort them out before I go to bed.

1TB EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE
I use this for vlogging.
I like to get weird/unique angles when I talk to the camera to get viewers to wonder “wait where did he set up the camera?” and I do that by using the legs and wrapping it around something.
Also i use it to give me some extra space when im moving and talking to the camera so that the camera can capture the background instead of being zoomed onto my face.
