[@ChaseJarvis]

I'll be kickin' it at SASQUATCH! Music Festival all this weekend! If you're hitting the festival circuit this summer, too, the Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VR II ain't a bad option for getting those up close shots --> www.adorama.com/NK70200AF2U.html?KBID=72337 (pssst! it also happens to be in my essential gear list: blog.chasejarvis.com/blog/2014/03/essential-photo-video-gear-review-my-detailed-piece-by-piece-dont-leave-home-without-it-gear-breakdown/)

[@ShawnHighfill]

I was out there all day Wednesday and half of Thursday stringing data cable. I take care of the phones. And if you call the Gorge number and hit voice mail, that's me. (My claim to fame). Have fun. I may get called out there to fix something his weekend. We shall. C[__]

[@atAlyssabeth]

What do you do with the gear that's outdated or not used once you update or buy new gear

[@andrewkrav115]

i wish you'd were my brother ..

[@ChrisBilodeauPhotography]

To all those complaining about Chase showing off, you're being ignorant. This is his job. Shit, I shoot weddings on the side semi-professionally and I have a bigger photo bag than Chase showed in this video. Oh, and I don't have to climb K2 in a storm to get my shots. This is "essential" gear for a paid commercial photographer.

[@CHICVOYAGE]

Sorry typing from the phone. This post is informative and entertaining. Enjoying this post from Taiwan

[@Andrew_Gregg]

I applaud you for team mindset. I dont think I heard you say "I" or "me" one time in that video, always we and us. Thank you for keeping down to earth even after the fame you've achieved.

[@ChaseJarvis]

Thanks Andrew. It takes a village !

[@daniellevyphotos]

The first gear video you made years ago was how I stumbled onto your work. Been a huge fan ever since, watching creative live, CJ Lives and keeping up with your blog and other content. You and the CJ crew have been a huge influence and inspiration in my own creative aspirations. Not sure why I'm writing this all. Anyways thanks for the inspiration and constant creative motivation.

[@TCMphotography]

Great insight into you & your gear essentials, cheers Chase & team

[@jcapicy]

Def liked this! Even with the, for most, pricey gear, you are always so down to earth and personable in your videos. Thanks for keeping in touch with the people who love your work!

[@ARDrenth]

Excellent, thanks! Gearing up for video, decided on 5D Mark III more or less - waiting for price drop, upgrade or both - so good to see the essential accessories. Happy days!

[@michaelwang2534]

Thanks chase always a welcome to watch a behind the scenes

[@xxDOCxxHOLLIDAY]

The field recorder looks like a crazy taser!!!

[@jakemorrow5235]

Great video Chase! Couple things I never would have thought of!

[@Tonicwine999]

Thanks for this reveal Chase. Some nice kit there. Like how you use both Canon and Nikon too

[@kutaykosem]

Great video, but one little suggestion, if you want compact slider check out edelkrone, they are best at it

[@ChaseJarvis]

thanks kutay - will check it out

[@kardamundi]

Great stuff. Please keep posting behind the scenes videos on your location shoots.

[@Fiscalfinn]

Love this kind of stuff, thanks Chase.

[@GromovPhotography]

Please make another video about your lighting equipment (modifiers/strobes etc) for location photography

[@N12342A]

Thanks for the amazing videos Chase!

[@TukesFilms]

Chase your the coolest! Most insightful artist in the game!

[@ChaseJarvis]

Thank you tukes. that means a lot to hear.

[@CHICVOYAGE]

Thanks for this timely video. You got

[@cypherf0x]

So how about an updated workflow video, Chase? I've noticed a lot of people switching way from Aperture because Apple seems to have forgotten it. I actually just switched back to Final Cut Pro X with the 10.1.1 update which fixed a lot of the issues that made me jump ship.

[@ChaseJarvis]

working on it ;)

[@PedroHofmann]

interesting details Chase - thanks! Check out the Edelkrone medium slider - fits in your pocket, only one tripod, double range due a patent. All CNC. Missed to hear you pack POL filters

[@stratred]

Incredible stuff. Love this type of content!

[@jal316]

Great video, guys. The workflow video is my favorite. An update on that would be awesome!

[@jacobtorch2168]

Chase,you are an awesome guy and an awesome inspiration.Thanx man!

[@ChaseJarvis]

thx man, appreciate it

[@CoenHalmans]

Great video! I'd love to see an updated laptop case video, though!

[@TheRacerRich]

Since you use both Nikon and Canon - how did you arrive at using Nikon for still photos over the Canon? I ask because I shoot Fuji XF, but as Fuji releases more lenses and new bodies it seems the Fuji method will no longer save money nor much size, and it's limited to being an APS-C system. I was never pleased with my Canons for skin tones (I stopped at 5D Classic), and am debating going back to dSLR, but this time with Nikon.

[@lav3nd3r09]

I enjoyed watching the whole video, love the fill-ins. That robot dance was hilarious like; who the fuck would do a robot dance in a "what's in my camera bag" video? Only Chase Jarvis. Have a good light sir!

[@mike22edwards]

Props Chase! Thanks for sharing your essential gear. Have you ever considered shooting with the 1DX? Just a curious Nikon shooter. Thanks

[@albertovigano3083]

and this is just the ESSENTIAL guys!

[@ChaseJarvis]

yep :)

[@ktlable]

This was great, thank you!

[@sidelinemedia]

Great info here...curious what led you the Dkine bags....Also, time to redo the go pro bag system? still using the small pouches?

[@dominiquecancio2978]

Hola Chase! Thanks for the tips, big admirer, I had a question about using flashes or lighting equipment when traveling? Any recommended essential on those or does it depend on what you plan to shoot? Like the difference between low light, inside and outside?

[@musagicsk8]

hey chase im fairly new to the photography world and im curious as to what the difference between a video tripod and a still tripod is? P.S im a massive fan of your work!!!

[@laurikvo]

I think Rhino is getting better known after this video. Been checking their stuff quite often. Maybe some day when I need a slider it will be a Rhino. ;)

[@tamakacz]

Great information, can you provide info about the music in hong kong vid? Where do you get this kind of music?

[@bohemianphotographer6843]

Chase what s the video back pack name please i cant find it anywhere.. thanks

[@mrscillalatte]

I love you and your WORK!

[@92films50]

Any good ND filters you can recommend for someone on a budget?

[@MarcinGil]

Hey Chase, year (almost two) forward what's your stance on mirrorless?

[@BryonBlack1]

I've been flying a lot recently (I'm a one man crew, doing video only), and I've been trying to find the best way to bring along my support gear (tripods, mic boom for shotgun mic, light stands, etc). Any suggestions? Currently I carry my support gear in a Photoflex transpac single kit case, but I always run over that 50 lb mark and I can barely squeeze everything in there.

[@ChaseJarvis]

Padded golf club travel bags work awesome for a bunch of like (read: long) items. Also, if you can get some status on an airline (ie fly more than 25 or 50k miles in a year you can take up to 70lbs of gear per bag, up to 3 bags. also, an expeditor like BellAir will ship gear anywhere in the world for you. check them out.

[@VishalChaudhary]

Does the essential photography & video gear kit consists of helpful software such as Video Editing, Video Repair, JPEG Repair and Photo Recovery? IMO such software should be listed in the gear as essentials. Stellar has rolled Video Repair, Photo Recovery and JPEG Repair bundle (Titanium Edition) to assist professional photographers.

[@Garychamp18]

Great video. Very interesting. Keep it up:)

[@AlMansurpictures]

lucky for u bro for having all those fancy gears,.. lil bit jealous (in a positive way) coz I just lost my one n only camera I have,.. hiks

[@andreasabot6143]

What kind of cart is that? It looks sturdy!

[@erikhecht]

It's a Magliner. A staple of film and photo sets.

[@andreasabot6143]

Erik Hecht Thank you!

[@ChrisAstro]

Awesome gear!

[@elizabeth.oldaccount]

What model was the dakine bag

[@villegas24]

I missed your vídeos man.

[@nsr150sp1]

wow, i'm still use the old mighty D70, :))

[@brentmiller73]

Thanks great shows. What about your Gopro's? Where do you overall rate and place them? It terms of useage, forms and functionality.?

[@ChaseJarvis]

we love gopro for some very specific applications. we do take them on nearly every shoot. here's a video we did about what Gopros we take and how we pack them How To Pack Prep & Travel with GoPro Cameras | Chase Jarvis TECH | ChaseJarvis

[@benlavoie9215]

Something ive been unsure about when doing work for clients is how to give the there content withought actually giving them a hard copy. Do you use email dropbox magic data carpets?

[@ChaseJarvis]

we deliver using hard drives or dropbox depending on file requirements, etc

[@daanstam6697]

24-105 vs 24-70 ???vid please

[@trivet1970]

time for an update chase :)

[@Tonicwine999]

Can you tell me if you use Magic Lantern for the Canon?

[@erikhecht]

We don't.

[@Tonicwine999]

Ahh, really thought you would. Thanks for the reply too.

[@ehab007bob]

why not using nikon also for video ?

[@LukeBatemanPhoto]

because Nikon's video is appalling compared to Canon's

[@andreyon1]

great insight. :)

[@SchneiderStudios]

I never leave the house without my body double

[@trubaka]

what do u use copy one HDD to another?

[@ChaseJarvis]

just use the mac operating system to xfer via thunderbolt.

[@shootcutdeliver]

You rock !

[@minowanzel6988]

he is the jamie oliver of photography!

[@davidkole9210]

I don't know how about more personal content, ( who is Chase Jarvis?) Kinda stuff. P.S. liked subscribed.

[@ChaseJarvis]

thx for subscribing david. there's a lot of pretty personal content on my youtube channel -- here's an example Dasein: The Art of Being [what I learned from an experiment in creative living] | ChaseJarvis

[@bowielow]

is it just me, or does Chase look like Bradley Cooper?

[@ChrisGaffka]

Great video! Keep up the amazing work. I miss the old Chase Jarvis RAW videos, and all of the BTS stuff you guys do. Keep it flowing to my Subscription inbox please! Thanks guys!

[@ChaseJarvis]

thanks chris - doing my best. super busy these days, but still doing what i can to keep the pipeline full ;-/

[@ChrisGaffka]

Well you're doing great man! Enjoying everything you do, keeps me inspired and motivated!

[@austincarter8124]

i want to cry , the first bag is my life goal to get 1 d4 not 589 :( :(

[@JoeKetterling]

I'm surprised... No GoPro?

[@cassandreams]

when i grow up i want to be like you

[@daanstam6697]

best camera kit fore 2000 $????

[@CHICVOYAGE]

You make

[@peurdefence]

I would like to meet you - To work for you - My name is Yannik, I live in Austin, Texas.

[@perfectforehand]

Have you ever lost any gear at the airport?

[@erikhecht]

We haven't (knock on wood), but we're always aware of that potential risk, which is why we always carry our essential gear with us on planes and only check gear that we could survive our shoot without.

[@Adilboukind]

Stupid question : It doesn't hurt to have two D4 around your neck ?

[@ChaseJarvis]

i usually don't have them both around my neck at the same time. occasionally, but not most often.

[@71rjeelykcir]

Hey look! It's everything that I can't afford all in one video! :(

[@wilbmoore]

Chase cool video but I stopped watching because that stuff is expensive and you know that many of these photographers such as myself can't afford this crap but thanks for showing.

[@TheZGALa]

:)

[@derrickforeal]

Ad on rama. Hhaaahahaha

[@therealmccoy6817]

Pft.... Just use a iPhone n save urself a few grand.

[@DarioLubrano-r4u]

this is porn to me awesome!!!!!!!!!!

[@starlight7830]

I have bought from Adorama great company. Any man that buys from B&H photo is a man that likes to wear women's panties. I'm not kidding !!!!!!

[@deepforest5123]

That gear costs maaaaany thousands of $$$$. Those are not essentials!

[@jonesjoshua4375]

worst background music ever.

[@DJ_efex]

It was boring...

[@tipiring]

Really bush league that you play music while your talking. Very irritating and distracting.

[@ChaseJarvis]

to each his own, i like to promote other artists whenever i can and i'm a huge music fan, so about 10x more people comment on loving the music than comment as you did about not liking it...sorrry ;) listening to the data

[@AccidentalBroadcast]

++Aloha Chase, big fan! Can I send you some free Redhead Windscreens for your Zoom H4n? I'd love to help you fight the wind monster baby! Much love bra! Keep on creating amazing photographs : )

[@akitotengan8357]

++The Tribe has arrived, The Tribe have spoken!

[@WaynePatridge]

++Tribe love...great info!

[@ensayngaming6201]

++ Redhead Windscreens!

[@Raiphoto]

Mahalo brada, shoots!

[@wurfag]

"Photography essentials" Pulls out $20,000 bag of equipment. OK Chase, OK.

[@blinkycab]

So much good gear! My mouth is salivating. Great video Chase!

[@10MinSi]

5:35 "Extra shit" Well hes keeping it real.

[@calvincropley]

Hey man! loved the video! It's been awhile. Think we'll be able to get a updated Backup Redux video since you mentioned that technology has changed? I basically followed along with your old school workflow. Not sure how much you guys have changed since then. -Calvin from Australia

[@JPKalliomusic]

I've watched this video over and over again so many times :-D Maybe time for a new update? Anyway, thanks for the info.

[@chadbeatydop]

Interesting you don't shoot your video on Nikon as well. I would imagine that would make sharing batteries, lenses, etc. easier, if need be. The Rhino Slider is a great piece to keep around on all shoots... great choice! Thanks for the vid!

[@bunsofjam]

What about people who don't have enough money for this kind of stuff! Not everyone has $15K to drop on camera gear!

[@LukaiTakashi]

+ChaseJarvis Fantastic Review Chase! Thanks a million for sharing! One question though, what sort of Memory Cards do you use?

[@belizeandiver]

hah I have held back on purchasing a Canon 70-200 because I keep fighting with myself over the f2.8IS vs the f4IS . I primarily do underwater photography so it doesn't do anything for me in that regard but when I vacation I want to have something that has the reach. This has pretty much answered that question. Thank you for taking your time to make this video bro!

[@JerryLane]

Very nice video, Chase. One thing I would add to the kit (if you haven't already) is the Rycote Mini WindJammer for the H4N. Awesome piece of kit and well worth it for a small fee.

[@rideforlife1063]

Yeah Chase, Very interesting video. It inspire me to make a rack to fit all (well...maybe not "all" actually..but) my gear Thanks ;) Steph

[@MacBookProRetina]

The Mac Pros chilling there in the back :D lol Nice video :)

[@nabirasafat5274]

Really awesome. Excellent gear selection. Surprised none of the tripods featured had bowl heads for video. Highly suggested!

[@johnydome]

what is the best cheapest sliders you recommend to people

[@aiquelindo]

The title of this video is completely misleading. This is not essential gear.

[@IanLEAU]

Actually, it is essential gear. I have a similar setup only with cheaper gear. If you've ever done travel photography, this template is what you should be using. Especially cleaning equipment under humidity, when your lens fogs up you don't want to get your greasy sweaty fingers all over it now would you.

[@aiquelindo]

***** oh I see. Sorry I didn't know you needed all of this gear to be a "famous award-winning professional photographer". I guess talent doesn't matter anymore and in the old days, prior to the invention of all this paraphernalia you couldn't be such as thing as a "famous award-winning professional photographer". In that case he should have titled the video "Essential gear for famous award-winning professional photographers".

[@geryong5712]

It is essential for producing pro level results. Sure, you can do a lot of things with just an iPhone (hint: search 'the best camera is the one that you have with you ', I bet you are more famous than the guy who said it) I guess you can produce 10k worth images with just a smartphone, that is why you said that.

[@valerijackson-close6751]

Man I would Love to have your equipment, I'm not complaining!!

[@2DHouse]

Yes the sequel!

[@ahoinuk]

Enjoyed getting some behind the scenes gear info. Thanks for sharing!
