Camera Gear Update | Sony A7S III, Lenses, Bags and DISASTER (Storytime)

[@allisonanderson]

Anyone else have a gear NIGHTMARE to share?

[@AvinashSingh-vj3rk]

Nice video and happy new year 2021

[@malinhalia]

The buckle on my camera strap unlocked itself once and I dropped my Nikon into a stone floor in an Italian church (from a height). Luckily, neither camera nor lens even got a scratch!

[@DilvenS]

I had a event to photograph at night in the city. I left some gear in my car like an armature. Someone smashed a rock into my car window & cleaned out my car. No insurance. #tbt

[@TexasPelican]

I had a gear bag that I seldom used, so it was kept all the way in the back of the closet. A mouse had crawled inside the bag and died, and I only discovered it when I was trying to find out what the awful smell was inside the closet. Yuck!

[@intrinsicimagery]

My second shooter's ex threw her entire camera backpack into the bathtub and FILLED IT.

[@livinginthemoment8]

Please do a full review on the Sony A7S III. Thank you.

[@OMGSOPHIAA]

Yes, this please! Including a practical real-use review (less focus on specs but more on usability/ ergonomics/ button placement etc)

[@ben_chao]

Id like a review but also how it fits in your workflow.

[@Lisanaaaa]

Sounds like an excellent video idea

[@Frea_]

Maarten Heilbron has a detailed review of A7S III on his channel ^^

[@robertgrenader858]

Kitty Psycology: The pain of peeing with the UTI makes them associate the litter box with hurt. So they pee someplace else, and since the camera backpack smelled like Mom, and you're the source of love and comfort, bingo.

[@roadrider_2771]

Awwwww, sweet hubby. Adorable kitty, happy she’s doing better. Thank you for understanding that she didn’t mean to do that. I just upgraded my Peak Design to the 30L and love the extra space. Great video!

[@jessedelice]

If cats could apologize for the things they do, they wouldn’t. Lol

[@AshesOfRoses]

OMG, I totally understand a sick cat. Mine was vomit. But he was also sick but only on the floors. Healthy cats don't go anywhere except in a clean litter box, so I'm sad your fur baby had a rough time. You, too! Have a very Happy New Year!✨🌛🍷

[@mf.shoots]

omg I've never been this early! One of my 2021 goals is to grow my photography business and update some gear so this came at such a perfect time ❤️

[@thatwinsomegirl]

All I can think is HOW did you manage to get all your gear cleaned up after the cat incident?!

[@HollyHargreaves]

I LOVE Sony cameras. So good. Allison, I also love your channel. You're adorable & your solo travel videos are my fave. x

[@nicolasguillenc]

This year I got wndrd backpack too, and it has been my most complimented item this year by far! People really love it

[@margaretberry3580]

Hey Allison, I have really enjoyed watching your videos in the midst of covid. I was wondering what is your camera gear set up when you go hiking or do an outdoor activity where you carry other non-camera gear?

[@sQUisHyPAndA321]

Please make a video on your process on taking photos of yourself when traveling! Like tripod set up, camera settings, etc. Thank you!

[@missmadmarie]

I just finished watching your video about the 21L and I thought I made up my mind to get that one instead of the 31L but after seeing this I’m just not sure anymore haha! After using both, which would you recommend more for an everyday backpack that can hold a A7iii, two extra lenses, a rode video micro and other odds and ends, a 16” MacBook Pro and occasionally a few changes of clothes? Oh also I’m 5’3”, so I want to make sure whatever I get isn’t overwhelming huge on my frame and tightens sufficiently so it doesn’t hang off my back in an uncomfortable way.

[@stevearita3267]

Great video and enjoy watching your travels, you really do a wonderful job filming and editing them. I am not a youtuber or videographer, am just an enthusiast photographer. I purchased the Sony 12-24 F2.8 and thoroughly enjoy the lens (since I shoot primarily landscapes), it is literally as sharp as a prime lens...and the wide end of 12 mm has opened up whole new worlds of shooting! I definitely have the 100-400 on my wish list, maybe in 2021! Thanks again for taking the time to make your videos, I appreciate them very much!

[@richardwagner3317]

Love the cat story - I also have the Wandrd 31L and love it. Great videos. Can't wait for the new year to see where you are going next. FYI - really jealous you picked up the 100-400.

[@Soartosurvive]

I literally do almost the exact same thing. My Nomatic bag is laying in a room unzipped and I basically have been using it for a “gear storage” the same way and I literally paused this to run in the room and zip up the bag and put it on a shelf all while my cat watched me. 😂😅 I’m so sorry that happened to you.

[@AmandaWeldon]

Always love these videos Allison! I have made most of my gear decisions based on your suggestion haha! Thank you! Sending some love from Canada!

[@allisonanderson]

Glad you like them! Thanks for watching!

[@MikrAddis]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@mariahodson4053]

I would absolutely LOVE to see an entire video dedicated to the A7S III!!! film/photography/cameras

[@MeganKenny18]

Could you be do a full review/tutorial on Sony camera. I want to get into photography and filing for our family. Thank you.

[@ben_chao]

A dehumidifier cabinet would be a good investment for all that expensive gear.

[@allisonanderson]

I've never heard of that but I'm going to look into it!

[@MMViper05]

Always love your videos. Thank you for sharing and can’t wait for you to post some new travel videos as soon as this madness is over. Thank you for sharing and love the new gear. Specially the a7siii.

[@allisonanderson]

Thanks for watching!

[@Jeffcokr]

ive been using CHROME Niko camera backpack great backpack... but wasnt able to store too much gear so... RECENTLY, I ended up with INCASE DSLR backpack about 2 weeks ago and love it !

[@EmoEmu]

I'd never even heard of the Wandrd Prvke, but it looks like an amazing bag.

[@SaySarah]

How do you film with those zoom lenses? Do you use a gimbal or tripod?

[@JasonTome]

Can you do an overview of your studio and how you set it up? Thanks! Great content!

[@CreeedsHD]

Why did you pick the 16-35gm instead of the tamron wide

[@bocchicchiotwo]

Also I’m just starting out photography like doing what you do and do travel as well I just got the Sony a7 c. For my birthday with a few lens I love it I couldn’t choose what bag to get cause soo many I was going to get the wandr 21 l but then I was like I should get the 31 l cause in the future I’ll be getting more stuff so I figure 31 l would be idea How is it on planes is it easy to carry on w

[@TimR123]

Soooo..... about the hard gear,,. Would love to learn how you de-urined the lenses etc. Did they all survive?

[@mariaj1047]

Please create a photography 101 series! I appreciate your camera knowledge so much

[@aivah07]

Allison OG subscriber here. What happened to your old channel Allison speaks? I miss your old story times lol. Those were the best story times.

[@brandonlazo]

The quality of your video is amazing! What settings did you use? Slog? Hlg?

[@Lisanaaaa]

I love these videos, please share more photography and videography related videos. Have a great new years eve

[@jennamiller3892]

Hi!! Which tripod do you use? I have been trying to find a good one for travel! Let me know if you have a rec (college student on a budget lol)! thank you

[@patozmanov]

This channel deserves more followers!!!!

[@nathan_roth]

I really like the quality of Peak Design products but I really dislike side access of the everyday pack. I’m really excited to have a Compagnon bag on its way.

[@marylinsadventures1677]

Omg I would be so upset. But pets are a gift from God and when they look at you with their eyes everything goes away. Happy new year’s

[@carlosalvarado7790]

At least is a good cat-gear story haha. I just upgraded from a Nikon D3400 to a Lumix S5. Total game changer.

[@lolisoverused007]

Hi! I'm just getting started as a hobbyist photographer. Would you consider doing a short intro to photography video? I love your work and think you explain things really well!!

[@TravelTourTaste]

Hello Alison . we hope you're well . Thank you for all your information. it must be impossible to keep up with all the new Gear reviews we just want to take this opportunity to wish you and your family a very Happy New Year Love and Light Sarah and Glenn

[@DilvenS]

I would love to see an in depth video of your doing a walk-through of how you edit your videos in Adobe Premiere Pro. Showing if you use any custom filters, things that you like, tips and tricks. :)

[@lesliesauceda1180]

Where is your puff jacket from?

[@FrostElement]

What happened to the pipi lenses and gear?

[@patrickgrace6966]

Allison - I love your channel and my daughter loves it even though she's not a photographer! Question: I bought a Wandrd Provke 21L bag and could not get my Fuji X-T4 in and out of the side pocket without jiggling it and occasionally knocking its EVF. Can you get your a7III in and out of the Provke 21L or 31L? Thx. -Patrick

[@Solitonyc]

I’d love to hear about your shooting techniques. I really like your travel videos look and feel.

[@lornadune6024]

Please do a full review of the Sony camera you mentioned

[@ThoughtsOnThings]

Really enjoyed this Allison :) Need some of this gear for my videos!

[@CJB1103]

Do you use the A7SIII for your photography as well? How do you find it?

[@BrennaStarrs]

for photo check out the Sony A7III ! A7SIII is amazing for video but due to the low megapixel the A7III is better for photo - not that the A7SIII isn't good for photo but you get the point haha

[@AgungJohanna2403]

Hi mrs Anderson, love your films and reviews. as beginning video filmmaker I need to learn and purchase a lot things. I just bought a Sony A7SIII and 3 telelens, action cameras etc. Here in Stockholm and Amsterdam is freezing cold. I saw you have beautiful leather gloves while you are shooting. where I can I purchase these gloves with fingeropening? I did not see it in your gear list. thank you in advance.

[@littlemissgemreads]

Have you ever spent money on a camera and then just didn't get on with it? What did you do? I spend a ton of money last December on a new fuji camera after being recommended it whilst on a course, and I hate it, it's so complicated, I can't seem to get my brain around any of the controls and none of my photo look good, I've gone back to using my Olympus that I've had for 5 years, but now I have a camera I just don't know what to do with, should I keep it and keep trying to figure it out or just try to sell it knowing that I won't make my money back?

[@sexysilversurfer]

I empathise as the same thing happened to me, a Canon user for decades. As you bought it just keep using it, I use mine for street as it’s small and quiet. I just stick it in “auto” with raw + jpeg. Try out some of the recipes for Fuji jpegs to find one you like. I hope you have a good raw converter for the RAWs. Good luck.

[@Lunafilms12]

New Sub, We just got back from Grand Tetons , Yellowstone south entrance was closed but I was able to photograph allot of wildlife on the way there . Got my first moose shot. Great gear review.

[@angelica.may.wander]

Another great video yet again!

[@allisonanderson]

Thank you!

[@ColtonSimmonsPhotography]

Love this gear breakdown!

[@bocchicchiotwo]

That was a interesting story great vids btw. Well I got a story I was in Italy and at my air bnb had a big private balcony I left my windows open to my bedroom and a stray cat got in and same thing with your cat but number 2 all over my backpack filled with my clothes so distoryed So I was bummed. But I did go shopping for new clothes

[@lp08]

Liking this video just for the cat story. But for real tho, absolutely love your videos!

[@allisonanderson]

Thank you!

[@danjas.599]

Oh gosh, i would have cried as well if something like that happened to me. I don't have a gear horror story luckily but my father once went on a hike in the alps, the camera was in a camera bag in a backpack with the sunniest weather and then it suddenly turned. While everything should have been waterproof it poured down so much water in such a short time that everything got soaked and was ruined. I now always have my camera in an additional extra waterproof bag that could get thrown in a lake and nothing would happen, I got him the same one so this will never happen again... :)

[@K-FOREST_Original]

Hi! HoW are you? _ It is the second Thursday of the new year. Seoul, Korea had a lot of snow, and the lowest temperature was -15'C. It is a very cold day. I hope this week will be a healthier/fierce day. ^O^

[@eliasalzayer7697]

That cat is into photography

[@cindyeichhorn3504]

Just an FYI - the larger backpack link actually takes you to the Peak Design bag. :)

[@allisonanderson]

Thanks!

[@melibean097]

Is there a reason you switched from Fujifilm? I just subbed this week and your June 2019 camera video was the first video I watched on your channel. That video sold me on Fujifilm, but I haven’t purchased anything yet, so I’m wondering if there’s any major reason you switched gear?

[@allisonanderson]

My switch was mostly prompted by not having a concise gear setup - I had one camera for vlogging, one for photos, one for in-studio shooting, and I decided I needed to streamline things. I could talk for hours about why I chose to start over and go with Sony, but to be concise: 1. Sony offers full-frame mirrorless cameras and I decided that's what I wanted. 2. There are WAY more third-party products available for Sony than Fuji. More affordable lenses from brands like Tamron, etc. Also more lens options in general. 3. I knew of the success of the A7S II and had heard the rumors of the A7S III. I wanted a two-camera setup so I decided to start with the A7 III, with the plan that whenever the A7S III finally released, I would get that as my main camera and have the A7 III as my secondary camera. Fuji is still amazing and I loved my X-T2. But specifically for the work I do, Sony offers more for me. Hope that helps!

[@sexysilversurfer]

I got a Fuji but I just can’t get used to the aperture control on the lens, the joystick is not designed properly but worst of all are the RAW files which need a really good converter to get the best.

[@shaedenny]

@@allisonanderson May I ask that these are the same reasons you don’t use Canon cameras? Thanks :)

[@wolfkinkael]

Have you noticed any difference in cold weather performance between your Sony A7s III and your Fujifilm X-T2? I stumbled upon your video where you pointed out that the Fujifilm X-T cameras are one of the few camera ranges - some Olympus cameras being other examples - that are officially rated down to -10°C.

[@KittyAndTheBooks]

Oh my, yeah sometimes cats really try to see if you REALLY love them.

[@staples8a4]

love the GM lens

[@michelle_burke]

I’ve always wanted to get into photography but it seems so complicated and intimidating lol 😩

[@Momosaymkay]

Ellie is such a pretty cat

[@kaylaandmarkalan]

Totally get the cat story. We found out the last week of 2020 that our cat is diabetic. Because ya know...2020...

[@gfraser6846]

Photography nightmare ??, what’s that the menus on a Sony ?? ;-)

[@favianrafif6436]

I think that when i use the tele kind of lens, my hand will always shaking lol😂

[@leahcfinn]

I definitely don’t ever want a cat now...

[@lissaToday5787]

It makes me want to get another cat

[@KoelAnderson]

OMG. From one Anderson - AND - cat lover to another, the story of your cat peeing on your gear hurt my soul 😢

[@GenelynJaye]

OMG! Cringed during that entire gear story. Shoutout to your sweet husband!!

[@allisonanderson]

Seriously!

[@CharlieLiuPhotography]

OH GOD. *ZIPS UP BAG*

[@dyong888]

So what happened to the lenses? You kinda skiped that part. So you wipped them down the best you could and still use them?

[@jaliyahsutton]

I'm using a dji Mavic Mini drone

[@russkevinc3550]

Has anyone heard of CJ Faison's channel? He does haunted explores.

[@sun-man]

Dslrs and mirrorless cameras are so yesteryear. Everyone is using phone cameras now

[@M0nkee_mode]

Chris hau also got gear stolen

[@exequielalegre236]

Please make a video about Luminar AI.

[@westernpigeon]

[@sameerafridivlogs]

Awesome

[@dennyyohanes8677]

Currently Hannah vibes here

[@PhotoTrekr]

Just another reason I'm not a cat person. :)

[@mirandaalexis]

I need a better camera bag lol

[@MrJRon115]

ANNNND that's why I hate cats. Dogs for the when. My dogs do not climb all over my gear, and it is very easy to train my dogs to stay away from anything I do not want them around.

[@j.kimmer1509]

Sony A7siii is a great very expensive SL camcorder. Horrible for photograph. unless you enjoy printing 3x5s

How come you never show your husband?! All of these videos make it seem like your flaunting a single life!

[@10mb10]

This is too much money for a regular person. Love the concept but still, no regular person can afford this. I get it but again, no normal person can buy any of the stuff on your list lol. Get it together love.
