00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:05,160
so lius Media Group decided to go on a big group trip to Mexico and I thought I

2
00:00:03,719 --> 00:00:09,360
would go over a few of the handy accessories I take with me everywhere I

3
00:00:06,919 --> 00:00:14,120
bring a camera as either a Justus in case item or something I cannot travel

4
00:00:11,519 --> 00:00:16,519
without so here is Handy Tech under 100 travel

5
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:28,880
edition first up we have the black widow spider holster this is my favorite way

6
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:33,719
to carry the Stills camera I bring with me everywhere the Fujifilm

7
00:00:31,599 --> 00:00:37,480
x100t how it works is you attach the mini ball joint to the 1 quarter2 thread

8
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:41,559
at the bottom of your camera then you simply Slide the ball joint into the

9
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:45,680
holster as it clicks into place the holster conveniently slips onto most

10
00:00:43,879 --> 00:00:50,000
belts but if your belt is too big for some reason you can always use the

11
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:53,440
included belt in the kit the kit I got also came with a soft pad that goes

12
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:57,440
under your camera so when you're walking around it isn't hitting your jeans or

13
00:00:55,480 --> 00:01:01,079
pants and potentially scratching your camera so getting into usage you simply

14
00:00:59,519 --> 00:01:05,360
push that on the red lever on the left of the Black Widow pull your camera out

15
00:01:03,239 --> 00:01:10,600
take your shots and slide it right back in this has really simplified the way I

16
00:01:07,759 --> 00:01:13,840
travel with a camera for Stills I had this with me on a recent trip to Japan

17
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:18,520
and it was particularly nice to always have a camera with me without carrying

18
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:20,360
it in my hands or in a large backpack

19
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:24,360
and had my camera been in a backpack all the time I would have missed many

20
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:27,840
opportunities to take a good photo you might be thinking well why wouldn't you

21
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:31,759
just use a strap most cameras come with them for free well personally I find

22
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:35,320
find included camera straps intrusive when moving around since they are not

23
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:38,479
secured close to your body which can lead to them accidentally hitting

24
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:41,759
something as you're walking falling forward when you're trying to tie your

25
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:45,240
shoes or just getting in your way when you're shooting if you happen to have to

26
00:01:43,079 --> 00:01:48,759
take it off your neck for a shot which I have done many times in the past when

27
00:01:46,719 --> 00:01:52,320
using a neck strap so for me the Black Widow is a great solution to have an

28
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:56,399
easy handsfree way to carry your camera around everywhere you go I was able to

29
00:01:54,920 --> 00:02:01,640
go from taking pictures of everyone ziplining in Mexico to going across

30
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:04,880
myself with zero hassle in between and that is the best thing you can ask of a

31
00:02:03,079 --> 00:02:07,880
carrying solution for your camera something that doesn't slow you down but

32
00:02:06,479 --> 00:02:12,720
also doesn't keep you from missing a shot as it happens next up we have the

33
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:17,080
zoom quick release adapters I've used these countless times in the past and

34
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:21,239
they have saved me a lot of time traditional lens filters are threaded to

35
00:02:18,959 --> 00:02:25,319
screw onto the front of your lens the zoom adapters however are taking a

36
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:29,000
different two-part approach the first part screws onto the back of the filter

37
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:32,920
that you want to use the second part screws onto the lens where your filter

38
00:02:30,519 --> 00:02:37,440
would usually screw into then thanks to the magic of wonderful magnets your

39
00:02:35,319 --> 00:02:41,360
filter becomes incredibly easy to take on and off I have legitimately gotten

40
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:45,000
shots I would not have gotten if I had taken the time to screw on ND filters

41
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:48,480
onto the lens while something was happening the magnets on the filters are

42
00:02:46,920 --> 00:02:52,120
also surprisingly strong so you don't have to worry about them falling off if

43
00:02:49,959 --> 00:02:57,599
you're moving quickly the adapters come in varying filter and lens sizes from 49

44
00:02:54,760 --> 00:03:02,200
mm up to 82 mm which will fit most standard photography lenses moving on on

45
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:07,280
to perhaps my favorite small camera accessory of all time this little quick

46
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:10,680
release I found on eBay I'm always looking for ways to save time while

47
00:03:08,879 --> 00:03:15,080
making videos and these have saved me plenty of time over the years if you

48
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:19,400
ever make use of external monitors tiny LED lights or on camera microphones

49
00:03:17,319 --> 00:03:23,040
youve probably used a friction ARM like this one usually what you have to do

50
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:27,000
with these friction arms is find a point on your rig screw it all the way in then

51
00:03:25,519 --> 00:03:32,319
doing the same with whatever add-on you're using on the other end this is

52
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:33,640
both an an and slow process so these

53
00:03:32,319 --> 00:03:37,959
little quick release plates take the place of screwing into a mounting point

54
00:03:35,599 --> 00:03:41,760
on your camera setup first you put the receiving end on your rig then you take

55
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:45,879
the other end and put it on the ARM or some other quarter2 thread that you want

56
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:50,200
to use the result is something that is far faster to add to your rig and take

57
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:53,959
off when needed I have these little guys on every external monitor we have in the

58
00:03:52,239 --> 00:03:58,319
office and it has made things much faster when switching through setups

59
00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:02,040
moving on to the full disclosure section of Handy Tech videos which is pretty

60
