My Essential Gear for ANY On Location Shoot

When I go on location I prep my gear kit based upon the needs of the shoot. That being said, there are a few key items that accompany me on ANY location shoot. These are the most versatile tools that are lightweight and give me the flexibility to create.
Below is a list of the essential gear and WHY I have chosen these tools as my must-haves.
Canon R5 adorama.rfvk.net/JxzdE
This mirrorless camera features exposure simulation that allows me to preview changes in exposure in real-time (saving me time and effort). Its face and eye-tracking capabilities allow me to shoot at very wide apertures to simplify the background.
Canon RF 50mm 1.2 adorama.rfvk.net/g2gJg
If I can only take one lens with me, this is the one! A 50mm can allow me to capture wide shots, mid-length images, and even relatively closer shots (torso) without distortion.
Canon RF 24-70mm 2.8 adorama.rfvk.net/jWOVxb
If I need a lens that gives me flexibility quickly and I don’t need to shoot at extremely wide apertures, this is my choice. At 2.8 I can still simplify the background and create very wide shots to headshots in an instant.
Canon RF 85mm 1.2 adorama.rfvk.net/Rk5Qy
This is the 3rd lens I’ll consider if I need to shoot a lot of tight shots with a super narrow depth of field. This is great for portraiture or closeup beauty imagery.
Profoto B10 Plus adorama.rfvk.net/62K03
This strobe is portable, battery-operated, and packs 500 Watts. Perhaps to help me overpower daylight without having to carry something more substantial.
Profoto TTL-C Remote adorama.rfvk.net/W3o5G
When shooting in the middle of the day I need to be able to shoot in high speed sync mode, and this trigger provides that capability. I can shoot faster than my camera’s sync seed which allows me to ‘overpower’ ambient and shoot a wide aperture.
Westcott Rapidbox Switch Oct M adorama.rfvk.net/0JD3JR
This modifier provides soft light and opens up like an umbrella. It is super simple, portable, and affordable.
Profoto Medium Reflector adorama.rfvk.net/vvPBL
A silver and white reflector is a must-have for any (and every) location shoot. Bounce a bit of light back into the eyes or add a highlight to draw attention- it’s compact, light, and a must-have for refining natural light.
PhotoFlex Extra-Long Litereach Plus adorama.rfvk.net/XYNVVo
Rather than using a light stand, this light pole is fantastic for shooting on location. It has extra reach to allow me to elevate the light to very high positions, great for when the subject is elevated somewhere at a higher angle.

I like the RapidBox system for their easy of setup and have several sizes. HOWEVER, I've found (from metering) that they suck up a TON of light--up to 4 stops in some cases. If you have a less powerful speedlight/strobe, this can really be an exposure challenge. Consequently, I've turned to the Glow EZ Lock softboxes as an alternative. They setup about the same and produce the same quality of light. But thanks for your BTS videos for how you achieve your great results.

@studio6331 11 ай бұрын

Thanks for the info.. Usually more than the softbox, the light itself makes the main difference in the quality.. so if the Rapidbox is sucking a lot of light, then thats a bad thing..

@simonmaduxx6777 11 ай бұрын

You really measured a four stop difference? Are you sure? That is absolutely bongos huge. That almost sounds impossible, but you have to see how experience with it.

awesome as always. the light reach looks like a must have. I caught A1s for cheap when the A1x was about to come on the market. Been trying to figure out if a should get a B10x plus or just an A2. you might have sold me on the B10x plus even though the price tag is pretty.

I just got a 50mm 1.8, and on a crop sensor I'm finding that I have to back up quite a bit to get what I want in the frame. I also noticed that the DOF is so shallow that both eyes are not always in focus! So I can better appreciate what you're saying about your camera having auto eye and face focus. That would be handy.

Hi hi, Lindsay, i follow you since ages, now i have the r5 too, but with flashpoint 600w strobe with his trigger, with a big big problem, if i turn on the trigger the exposure simulation stops and a fake scene comes into the viewfinder, like i was in a studio, and there's no way to avoid this in all the settings of the r5, so all the time i have to turn off the trigger, get the right ambient light and then turn on the trigger to have the flash. Is it the same for profoto trigger?

Great video as always! I wish that lens was was the "nifty fifty"! The "nifty fifty" is a 1.8 and costs about what the taxes are for the 1.2 in the video which cost $2100. It's no where close to the quality of the 1.2 but I do love how light it is in hand. Have you ever used the 1.8 and compared it to the 1.2? Of only we could get L series quality in something that was lightweight!

ND filter would mean you don't need to use HSS, and then lower power strobe will work, faster recycle times.

@lindsayadlerphoto 11 ай бұрын

Yes, but it still cuts out a ton of power of light. So its 50/50

@Sashalexandros 11 ай бұрын

The advantage is that, is that HSS abuses battery and bulb and in theory, it consumes the remaining lightsource lifespan faster compared to ND's. Also HSS cuts about 40%-50% of power, meaning you can't cut the BG exposure as effective as with ND. Alas, HSS is easier, and playing with ND's is a chore 😅

@chriswoodman_photography 11 ай бұрын

@@lindsayadlerphoto HSS you're fighting the sun with another light, yet ND filters have been used for decades, you cut the ambient light entering the camera then you need less power to just highlight your subject. It's really doable to shoot with a speedlight in full sun with ND filters, but the modern trend does seem to go for HSS. The other issue with HSS is you need faster shutter speeds, and some cameras only use electronic shutter which has it's own issues. As a user of the canon R5 and Fuji GFX 50s I see reduced colour depth with electronic shutter in post pushing.

@@lindsayadlerphoto anywhere is a good place to start. Just remember this is a video about gear definitely not about pictures. Unfortunately these videos focus on gear which ends up being thousands and thousands of dollars and then people don't know what they're doing. These videos fail to explain that just buying all that gear you'll get some interesting results but if you don't know how to take a picture then what does it matter. I used to see beginners with full frame cameras and big professional lenses and I used to make me scratch my head. Just note down the gear but look at what she's actually doing. Unfortunately the video is not going to explain the why and that's what's most critically important. For that you're going to have to study and study and practice and study.
