Travel Filmmaking on Easy Mode! Or, at least done in three cases... lol
I've always considered an invitation to travel to a location as a cinematographer to be one of the biggest compliments. Having been wildly blessed to have traveled as a DoP quite a bit over the last few years, I learned the hard way how difficult that can actually be to pull off!
So here is a snapshot of what my travel production kit looks like going into 2024 :) Cameras, Lighting, Audio, Snacks, you name. All packed down to three cases.

Love watching these! The "what's in my camera bag" videos are cool but they always lack lighting, audio and grip equipment. Since these are usually so big, it's always cool to see how others get around with them and how we can save space and travel more efficiently! Keep it up!

I'm a sucker for a “what's in my camera bag” video! Lol All of the other stuff isn't quite as sexy to pack or travel with:) But as I've matured in the craft I’m trying to bring more to shape and control light or capture good audio, and less camera gear. Thanks for watching the video! Pumped to have you here!

@@TroyMairs feel the same way both about the videos as well as maturing in the craft and carrying more stuff around Thanks for creating! Glad to be here!

I appreciate it! :) Thanks for checking out the video!

You should get a couple of those Niteize Gear Tie type of ties for attaching the diffusion to the frame instead of the cordage you're using. They can double as cord wranglers when you travel too!

Oh great suggestion! I hadn't thought of that, but I love the idea. Thank you!

Any chance that you'll try a Nanuk 935 soon? Was looking into it esp since its mean to be carry on flight friendly too

@TroyMairs 2 ай бұрын

I haven't tried out Nanuk just yet, but from what I've seen/heard they are a solid alternative the the pricier Pelican options!

Would totally love to know if the C stand case from Matthews Can hold 3 x c-stands from Kupo? Kupo dont make a case and they dont fit in the Avenger case unfortunately (I found out the hard Way)

@TroyMairs 5 ай бұрын

Ahh that's a bummer (learning the hard way!) the interior dimensions are 50” x 14” x 7” - I don't have any Kupo stands so I can’t say for sure, but it fits the Matthews with some room to spare

@baekmedier 5 ай бұрын

I found out the best was to just get another Avenger case and 3 new avenger turtle base :P Then sell the new awesome kupo stands all together, and then use the other Avenger case i got for my two SIRUI SVT-75 PRO RAPID and a aputure 300X LS. The persuit for the perfect setup is so hard :P But im feeling that im getting there.@@TroyMairs

Is the Macbook Pro the base M1 chip or is it an M1 pro chip? Nice video 👏

@TroyMairs 6 ай бұрын

Thanks Allen! Great Question, I operated off of an M1 Air for the quite some time and had great luck with that! When I went for this Macbook Pro, I got the M1 Pro Chip (not the m1 max) and it still serves me incredibly well!
