I agree with all the points and that if you have the spark you gotta go for it. I’m guilty of initially having the spark to film travel content then when the spark dies I’m left not touching the footage until years later 😭

This is super relatable for me! Life tends to get busy and seasons of motivation come and go. Whenever that "fresh spark" comes, I jump on it and ride it for as long as I can. I've found that if you do this often enough, it works out in the end! 💥

I jist impulse purchased one because was way less expensive, had organizer and had dividers. Hopig it fits my fx3 ans a slew of lens and batteries including a vmount. LCD screen etc. Basically as much as i can fit in. My chargers except camera will go in suitcase checked. 🤞 Watching now to see how much you fit in. And its for carry on for a flight next week so needed it quick. Hope it is allowed but having so many lipos, they wont check it anyway.

Thanks for checking it out! I definitely need to make an updated video, but I now use my 935 with my Sony A7IV with Tamron 17-28, 28-75, 7” monitor, rode wireless pros in a charging case, vmount, extra batteries, charger, and still have enough space for another lens or 2nd body! ☺️

@@itsalexoh sounds like I made a decent choice on it then. Comes Wednesday. Can't wait to see how much I can fit. Only one I'm hesitant is my Sony PZ 18-105 lens. But can always leave that behind this trip. But have the sony 16-25 and 24-70 G zooms. Maybe 5 or so fast 50mms, few super old vintage 100mm (tiny tho, 33mm adapter mount). Plus the ninja ultra and connect. All the needed batteries. Luckily the fx3 is I think tiny bit has cage, and side handles, and top handles, also one with mic mount that comes with it. Luckily I'll also have my backpack as personal item. Obviously clothes and some chargers will get checked. At least I'm not taking all my fpv drones this trip. TSA loves when I roll through with a dozen 4S and 6S lipo's.

Great video! As a not-professional-photographer, but creative-by-nature, this really resonated with me. I think the act of always staying creative, even when there isn't some grand final product in view, is so helpful whether it's photography, writing or any form of making. Keeping my mind active on small and unimportant projects feels so much better than trying to create perfection, and I feel like it often leads to better results.

@itsalexoh11 ай бұрын
I'll go first. For the longest time, I felt guilty about about enjoying downtime. I grew up with immigrant parents who rarely ever had any downtime for themselves, so until very recently, I felt really bad about taking days off or just relaxing on a weekend. This led to me keeping myself constantly busy to relieve any feelings of guilt, even if I wasn't actually being productive. I often pushed aside anything that I wanted to do just for pure enjoyment or creativity, like making my own videos. I've learned so much of my behavior was rooted in this "survival mode" mentality and I've been on this journey of unlearning that so that I can live a happier life!

Nice review Alex. Is the inside of the laptop compartment soft/padded enough that you don't need it in a sleeve which presumably would be too bulky anyway? Is there any chance of the fixing screws scratching your laptop or are they sufficiently sunk?
@itsalexoh11 ай бұрын
I haven't had any worries about the screws scratching my laptop because they're off to the side and the laptop compartment sinks in for your laptop to fit in there. Hard to put into words, but I would definitely recommend a sleeve or even a case if you want a snug fit!
