Are you a videographer who needs to fly to other parts of the country, if not the world, to shoot video? There are bags specifically designed to help you pack smart. What bags work best for the gear you need to bring? Authors Richard Harrington and Robbie Carman discuss what types of lenses to add to your ultraportable video kit.
- So of course alongside a camera body,…you're going to need to consider the lenses…that you're going to bring with you…if you need to do a remote shoot.…And this is one of those things…where I think it's really tempting,…just like other gear, to kind of go,…well I might need this lens, I might need that lens.…- The fisheye would be cool.…- Right.…- I need my 300 mm zoom.…- Right, my macro, got to have that.…And the next thing you know you have two pieces…of luggage that are full of lenses, right?…- Now I will say, this bag did manage to hold…17 micro four-thirds lenses on that trip to Japan.…
- Yeah, but how many of those did you actually use, right?…- Me? Thirteen.…- Yeah, right. Sure.…- I'm a nerd.…- The thing is, before you leave,…I think you really need to do some due diligence…and be ruthless about the lenses…that you're going to actually use.…And for me, that generally means…that I want to have a zoom lens in my kit of some sort.…- Yeah, now don't worry about the exact lens here,…but this is just a type of lens.…
