Allison does a really, really good job of presenting her topic. No fluff and no distractions! Well done.

[@serenity8910]

Instead of trimming your post-its for labelling, I recommend getting some washi tapes. You can easily peel off the tape when needed!

[@NinaSusanneOfenloch]

I was thinking tha same thing. Additional advantage: variable in length and no scissors needed...

[@michajastrzebski4383]

this post-it label idea is GLORIOUS. Definetly going to be using this:)

[@laurenrs]

I am still learning wildlife photography and filming for YT, but man, that charger port looks like something I will need in the future. So cool!

[@murugak2031]

I am in a bit of trouble... I will give away a lot... So Please help as much as you can... Please help me from the bottom of my heart Account number - 916010015371240 IFSC CODE - UTIB0000006 BANK NAME - AXIS BANK How can I ask everyone for help when there is no one to help me please help me

[@superbry24]

what i like to use on my camera is the 3 legged thing "L" bracket with peak design mount. give protection to my camera and i can setup on my tripod portrait mode easy

[@kevinharding9361]

Love the 'Glow Tape' idea (will steal that) ! L plates every time over the plethora of new Rotating Camera Mounts, I buy one for every camera and it never comes off. Best accessory I bought last year? Feelworld LCD monitor (attach it to any camera hot shoe or clip it onto the tripod leg), it makes composition and checking your shots soooo much easier than any camera LCD or trying to get my eye down to the EVF. Using two systems (Sony and Olympus) I like accessories that are not brand specific - so the Godox flashes with an XPro controller (Sony or Oly) means I can use the same flashes on both systems. I always take a powerbank with me (10,000 Mzh for locally and 23,000Mzh for a full day or longer) - to recharge phones and drone batteries & controller, etc. etc.

[@Redbugist]

Allison -- you have inspired me so much and I believe you have inspired MANY others as well! -- I love it!

[@youknowwithMartyKauffman]

That’s a great idea glow-in-the-dark tape

[@jannarkiewicz633]

I put velcro on my drives too. I also put it on my MIFI so my laptop has a velcro strips on it. Great video.

[@StephBeTravelBreak]

Thanks for sharing! That glow-in-the-dark tape idea is a game-changer.

[@MiniRetroSnap]

I will need one of those for sure!

[@stkuj]

Love the glow tape and battery charger tips!

[@mjordan812]

Re: the rotatable bracket. Have you used "L" brackets (e.g. ReallyRightStuff). Not as quick as the rotating bit, but a LOT less bulky. And you don't have to mess with your ball head's position.

[@StephanieLin]

Love all the tips!! I think I'll def try the glow-in-the-dark tape first 😄

Girl thanks! Love there Kind of videos they are very helpul

[@rudyruedemann2334]

I really liked your video 📹 !! I'm relatively new to photography. I picked up several good tips!!! 🤓🤓

[@ANswe]

Love watching your videos! Was wondering (maybe you've already talked about this?) what software you use to edit your videos? Xx

[@vividstudio4651]

I attached a camera strap to a Manfrotto quick release base plate. Instant quick release strap system with no dangly bits. Also keeps the strap out of the way of tilting screens. I'm a convert to the strap for steadying hand held video,

[@karyleianawildernesscapes]

Yup, Glow-in-the-dark tape/rope is a Astro secret/hack. Put it on your camera bag, as well (for this use the rope, usually on the top handle, adds extra "grip" too).

[@allisonanderson]

I didn't even know glow-in-the-dark rope was a thing, that's such a good idea! Thanks!

[@KellySedinger]

I wasn't sure I needed the Peak Design tech pouch before I got it...and then I promptly filled it up. That thing is awesome!

[@melissaperino3654]

What do you use to backup your cards? Sometimes when I travel I don't want to take my laptop or iPad. Is there an alternative?

[@autumncarolynnphotography]

This is SO Helpful!!!

[@Techmohol]

@allisonanderson I probably watched 90% of your videos, My request to make a vlog about Seychelles country. Your videography is incredible. You can make a great vlog there.

[@mulone214]

Great video. These are great products especially the charger.

[@PhotoTrekr]

A couple of years ago it occurred to me that if I'm taking smaller and lighter gear when I travel and that's good enough for my travel photos, then it should be good enough when I'm home. So, this year I'm selling my full size cameras. My main cameras will be the A7CR and A7CII. I don't mind the single card slot. The screen and viewfinder could be better but they're not bad. And the grip could be larger, but a hand strap solves that problem. I would like to be able to use an L-plate, but it blocks the doors on the left side. Since I can't use an L-plate, I use a PD plate which is small and light. I'll just have to tilt the camera over when using some lenses with the camera vertical. And I use lighter Sony GM primes like the 50mm 1.4 GM and the soon to come 85mm GM II. Lovin the downsizing.

[@jeannedarc1566]

I love reading all the comments about people taking ‘smaller’ cameras like the a6700 etc. My first proper camera was the RX100vii which is TINY. My 6700 actually feels huge in comparison and I feel like not taking it travelling as it’s too big.

[@PhotoTrekr]

@@jeannedarc1566 I also have an a6600 which I like to use with the tiny Sony 24mm G and 50mm G lenses. And I have an RX100vii which is my pocket camera.

[@kevinharding9361]

You can definitely find an L plate that won't cover the battery doors. I shoot Sony and Olympus (now OMS) and if saving size, weight and money with next to no compromises (and a lot of benefits) then take a look at the OM1 and the superb Olympus or Pana-Leica lenses. Even their f1.2 lenses are smaller and lighter (but of course still let in more light, though compromises DoF, which could be a positive or a negative depending on case use) that said the f1.4, f2.0 or f2.8 are mostly good enough for what I shoot.

[@David_Quinn_Photography]

that glow-in-the-dark tape is a very smart idea, I can't tell you how many lens caps I lost because I dropped them in the dark and can't even find them with a flashlight. That will be used up in no time for all my caps and on my tripod legs.

[@CaseyWiggin]

Love all the tips

[@riffnraff]

Hi. I use dji osmo action camera for shooting travel videos. Problem is the battery drains real fast & I've to, say, change batteries every hour or hour and a half or so. I've to carry a pack of 3 or 4 extra batteries, fully charged. I shoot it in 1080P/24 format. Can you please suggest anything to get maximum out of the batteries? Thanks

[@sQUisHyPAndA321]

What do you use as your last step to backup photos? Once youre done editing off of SSD drives, where do the photos live?

[@allisonanderson]

Right now, large capacity external hard drives that are duplicated multiple times to prevent data loss if a drive fails. I'm debating getting a NAS but not sure if it's exactly what I need. A good long-term storage workflow has been one of the trickiest things for me to figure out. If anyone has recommendations let me know!

[@MyFocusVaries]

I definitely recommend a multiple backup system, with storage in separate locations. A professional music friend had his music files backed up, but stored near his laptop. He had a break-in and his laptop AND external hard drives were stolen​. He lost his recently completed project. @@allisonanderson

[@sQUisHyPAndA321]

Gotcha. Right now, my photos live on my memory card and an SSD drive. I need to wipe my memory card, but I'm scared to have my pics live on just 1 SSD and was wondering what your current workflow was!

[@PhotoTrekr]

@@allisonanderson I spent my career working with computers, computer users, and networks. Photography has been a lifelong hobby. So, I've always used some form of backup for my photographs. When I travel, each night I upload that days files to external redundant Samsung SSD drives like you use. The laptop I use for travel is small and light and has a small SSD internal drive. When I return home I copy the photos from the SSD drives to a dedicated internal hard drive in my desktop computer. I'll replace the int hard with an SSD soon. All of those files are also copied onto a Synology NAS with mirrored drives. I feel comfortable with that much redundancy. If I was a professional photographer, I would also have files stored offsite. But, I'm not a big fan of cloud storage. I like having control of my files, not anyone else. Is there some reason you don't use a Labelmaker?

[@felicityannchen]

Loved this! Such a fun video!

[@jasoneldridgephotography]

Great video, thanks for sharing! Now, I NEED glow in the dark tape…

[@Addysvibe]

Thanks allie . For this video

[@ОлегАкчурин-к5ч]

thank you for this video. Really usefull

[@johnmclean7852]

Don’t forget a notepad and pen. I write a location or stacking note and photo it. I now have notes when I edit.

[@roadrider_2771]

Really Right Stuff L plates are less bulky for vertical shots 😃

[@allisonanderson]

I'll take a look at them, thanks!

[@derrickm9808]

the Small Rig L bracket is great and a better value than RRS but they are not on their website for some reason but at my local camera store or Amazon they are .@@allisonanderson

[@DavidWood2]

L brackets are less bulky, but you will reframe the shot slightly when vertical as the sensor centre will move upwards.

[@breannagunderman2388]

I agree on L brackets since recomposing is almost the same, though there is a slight vertical shift as noted. Takes up far less space in your bag. On my Canon R6, I decided to use a half rig from Small Rig and am soooooo happy with it! Even L brackets with a notch in the side plate would interfere with my articulating LCD screen, and block most of my side ports. The half rig doesn’t block any of that since it is shifted forward along the side. To enable portrait shooting like an L bracket would, I’ve attached the tripod plate from my 3 Legged Thing since it’s super small (1.5” square). While this does block my mic and headphones port, I never use those and all other port doors can open. Absolutely love it!

[@vivienrajz798]

- L brackets are smaller to recompose between portrait and landscape - les cleaning kit for sure - I use small usb charging hub for my camera batteries And constantly laughing on MILC and dust on sensor situation. 5+ years with my D850, and I never needed to clean my sensor

[@HarzaVlogs]

[@jamescheng1216]

thanks for sharing!

[@RamPaytm]

Super nice NICE

[@rickavery4808]

All of my bags have a very small, minimal first aid kit consisting of two or three bandaids, a few alcohol pads, a small tube of Neosporin antibiotic ointment and tweezers. It seems I never need these items if I have them with me, if I don’t however…

[@davegibson6604]

Re the glow in the dark tape - I like the idea of being able to see my tripod legs in the dark, but I'm not keen on the uncontrollable light that could get in my (and other's) astrophotos. Maybe battery powered red light strips might be more practical because of the ability to turn them off when not needed.

[@ben_chao]

Nice, ive taken ur advice in the past

[@NinaSusanneOfenloch]

Supressing the URGE to blow on the lens or sensor is something I have yet to master. I did the same thing and bought a sensor cleaning kit immediately afterwards 😅Luckily I didn't need my camera at the time...

[@GeoffKirby]

Camera Accessory number 11 - A Nikon Z8 - Their memory cards are 4 times the speed and they have a sensor shield when you are changing lenses

[@mariellejai11]

I use sticky notes on my SD cards to label them! :)

[@Chrislybears]

What is your long term data storage strategy with so many SSDs? If you leave them unpowered for years the cells in the SSDs can’t keep their charge leading to data loss. I am really surprised many photographers not knowing this and still collecting an extensive amount of SSDs for „backup“.

[@thearabicdp]

That bronine charger is a game changer. Stop wasting paper though! Get some writable sticker paper or sticker printer

[@chrisrussell6580]

I saw your post and had I look on Amazon as I have a canon camera meny

[@chrisrussell6580]

Thanks

[@eirikkittelsen9787]

Would recommend an L-Bracket instead of the swivel thing. it protects the camera and don't make it much bigger 😀

[@RiyanJamal-ds7uf]

❤❤❤❤Wowww

[@TUGBOATOfficialChannel]

What your recording video, what kind of mic do you use for audio?

[@RaadMambles]

That big blue charging station seems so obnoxious for traveling. Why not use direct type c charging cases. I got one from Amazon that charges two batteries and holds two as cards and charges them type c. Does the same this as your blue set up with 80% the space

[@en101com]

Awesome ideas! Thanks!

[@HeathBlythe]

Please don't clean your sensor out in the open air. Always carry a blower, if you really have to clean your sensor, protect it against the wind and face the sensor downwards, so dust has a harder way getting on it.

[@holtsvillehal8616]

I like the post it label idea ! You carry a hand blower to dust off your Sensor???! Here's something....The very last thing I do to Any Electronics, is use anything like dust off air canisters, hand blowers etc. You're sending the problem the wrong way ! There are accessories for vacuum cleaner hoses small. I will vacuum my computer key board, my camera etc. Not Force the dust INTO it, but out of it, Clean front and rear of lenses, before going out. In dusty areas, two cameras, one wide angle one telephoto...never removing either. A Polarizer The day you walk into a museum and see the glass reflection on everything, you'll never walk far with out it on you again!
