What’s in my Camera Bag in 2023

[@MaunoKoivistoOfficial]

Your simple and minimalist approach is always an inspiration.

[@AdamWingFilms]

That means a lot thank you. To think I can film a wedding with such little kit is crazy

[@martinhernandezrosas6686]

Great to see you back. Love the kit.

[@AdamWingFilms]

Good to be back!

[@juminy7]

Thanks for that isides, really helpful and so inspiring! Do you still film mainly manuell with your a7siii or do you use autofocus now? 😄

[@AdamWingFilms]

Hope it helps! Still Manual focus with the a7siii yes 😊 (though I occasionally press focus while recording if I’m trying to get some crazy angle one handed 🤣

[@pyroBlastM]

Hi Adam, assuming you still have this kit or if I was commenting at the time you mande this video I would ask you how do you match the colours from each camera since the s3 records in slog and the s2 doesn’t have slog? Thanks in advance.

[@AdamWingFilms]

Yes I do, I never bother colour matching. I don’t use Slog so they don’t look too dissimilar once I’ve put a colour grade on

[@arnaldobankhardt7659]

Great video …. how about a review about the Mac Studio and what monitors are you using????

[@AdamWingFilms]

Thank you. Good idea! Maybe I should. I’m using the apple studio display currently, planning on getting a second soon.

[@donataskazilionis3081]

Good to see you back! 🔥

[@AdamWingFilms]

Good to be back sir! Thanks for your continued support 😘

[@filmsfromlewis]

I picked up the Brevite bag a couple of months ago and love it, great for destination weddings and just general use as a weekend bag

[@AdamWingFilms]

Ah awesome, I hadn’t heard of them before now but glad I have, lovely bag!

[@NiallGibbon]

Hey Adam, this year will be my first season, got 8 booked so far! Can you share your experience on when is the 'booking season' for the UK? Are there better times of the year to run AD campaigns than others? Poured over your BTS multiple times before I shot my first weddings last year, it really really helped me! Looking forward to the up coming content!

[@AdamWingFilms]

Great stuff Niall, well done! Bookings wise Jan- feb are the best months but other than that, they can come at any time. Not something I do personally but if your trying ads, now is a good time and I would focus on venue/location targeting. Not much experience with paid ads I’m afraid!

[@DG-Vlogs]

Adam I love your minimalist approach, I think your the only guy on KZbin that doesn't seem to bother with any other audio recorders eg Zoom H4N or Tascam Dr40X to patch into a mix desk or speaker via XLR or stereo cables to capture clean band or DJ audio, just wandering if a couple asks you to provide their first dance in full using the 2 angles how you capture the audio there (that's a big thing in Northern Ireland to have as well as ceremony and speeches in full). The other thing audio wise is that you don't use any shotgun external mics on your cameras, assume your happy enough with what the native mics capture if you did want to have any ambience sound in your films......I'm starting out this summer with 2 free weddings to kick start my portfolio and audio is a minefield that blows my mind lol

[@AdamWingFilms]

Hey mate, yeah it’s rare that couples ask me but I do occasionally provide the first dance. I just use the audio out the camera for that. Can’t see why there would be any complaints. But you could always Mic the groom for it if you’re wanting to capture their audio. I think mainly they just want to hear their first dance song.

[@DG-Vlogs]

@@AdamWingFilms Cheers Adam, sorry my name's Darren I meant to reply from my personal account but forgot I was logged into my Vlog Channel lol, if your interested just did a trip to Vegas to give me some filming and editing practice lol

[@AdamWingFilms]

No worries, good stuff! I’ll check it out

[@hmfilms3506]

Thanks for sharing your equipment Adam. I notice some changes in your kit. DJI mini 2 😀🙌 I would recommend better upgrade to mini 3, it's a bit bigger but image is more pleasing.

[@AdamWingFilms]

Thank you! Yeah I’m sure I’ll get it eventually. Annoying as the mini 3 was announced weeks after I bought the 2. It works more than well enough for now

[@PearceWeddingPhotography]

Ooo nice bag

[@AdamWingFilms]

I was really impressed with tbf

[@TheQKrew]

Absolutely love the minimalism approach; random question, do you find yourself wondering if you’d get more bookings if you were to scale up the gear? Sometimes feel clients move on to another company once they find out I work solo with smaller gear.

[@AdamWingFilms]

Not found that myself, I think it’s down to the couple. you’ll get those who prefer discreet and those who prefer big production at every end of budgets. Plus I wouldn’t want those bookings anyway 🤣

[@klsweddingfilms966]

love that mate, I think I have less than this in my bag to be honest lol great video as always

[@AdamWingFilms]

Cheers bro. I could easily ditch the drone, light and a couple other bits and still make a great video, crazy times.

[@klsweddingfilms966]

@@AdamWingFilms how do you find the a7s ii body ? I picked one up last year and was having a few issues with the focus. was using autofocus mind you and leaving it as a safety camera, losing focus a lot.

[@AdamWingFilms]

Ahh I dunno mate, never used AF on it really, I’m just manual

[@stevewhitehead7318]

What’s the bag you keep your recorders in?

[@AdamWingFilms]

This one mate, had it years; amzn.to/3XGU6VN
