What's in my Camera Bag 2024: Wildlife Photography

[@ImFrexX]

Try mixing the instant coffee with a bit of cold water first, and then pour on boiling water. It helps a little :)

[@ollenilssonen]

Need to try that out😃

[@gonzalesiwasaki9128]

Your backpack is a magic bag! It covers everything except the tropical rails. I'm impressed with your stamina and endurance to carry such heavy equipment! I strongly feel the need to start training myself again. You are amazing!

[@mrxfenyr619]

I'm not usually interested in 'what's inside of my backpack' videos but this guy😅! Mannn... so relaxed watching your contents buddy ❤

[@ollenilssonen]

Oh I really appreciate that! Thank you😍

[@christianmapanirosescharli9204]

As a Dane, i love how you said multi-tool 🙂 Swedish is such a nice language. Anyway, interesting to see what you use.. not a huge fan of "whats in my bag" videos but.. you set this one up really nice in the woods, maintaining your style and why we love your relaxing videos. Thanks Olle and have a great day ☀️

[@Keyloggs1]

Ive seen a lot of „whats in my bag“ videos when i started with photography, but i really need to admit, that this is by far the best one ive seen. And yes, it would be great to see a video about clothes. Specifically for the colder days (spring, fall and winter). Im always freezing even though im packed like a bison 😂 Also, as you mentioned your editing Process a little bit, it be interesting to see how you manage your data. Sure, everybody got their own process and style, but i have the feeling my process could be improved. (Import via card reader to hdd, edit, export in a folder, done) Again, great work!

[@ollenilssonen]

Thank a ton for that! I’ll add those to my list of possible videos to create. Thanks for your on going support on all my videos man. Means a lot!

Great video. Thx for sharing all details. Super helpful!

[@Pikiks]

I love this man's videos, they are so relaxing and interesting to watch, I just got into photography and I needed to see what things I should get. Any suggestion for a good (not that expensive) camera and lens? (still for wildlife)

[@justinhoward6755]

You're right, the 200-600mm is phonomenal. I wish Sony would make their own version of the Nikon Z8 though. The A1 is incredibly expensive, the A9 rather low resolution if you plan on cropping, and the A7/7R series are all low fps.

[@WildlifeViewfinder]

I think you have a camera shop and it's good way to introduction of your shop products like cameras, lenses etc

[@HeisenbergNH]

😂 he doesn't have he is just an enthusiastic wildlife photographer

[@baldypete]

Not sure if your smaller tripod is the same as mine but if it is, you can unscrew the center column, unscrew the head and attach it straight to the body of the tripod. Really quick to do 👍🏻

[@alhOOO2O]

Love your videos as always Olle. A very similar kit to what I use for wildlife. However, I found the 2x teleconverter was absolutely terrible with my 70-200mm GMii, literally unusable. I'm glad you got a good copy! I use the 1.4x now with my 200-600mm and it works great.

[@ollenilssonen]

Oh I'm sorry to hear that! So weird that copies seem to differ so much in quality. Same with the 200-600. heard some people having issues with the sharpness on that lens, and some others have great sharpness. weird!

[@cameraprepper7938]

Now in 2024 when I go as light as possible for nature hikes for photography, I carry two Sony A7RIV 61 megapixels Cameras, which I also often use in APSC mode with 26 megapixels, so it is as having four cameras in two cameras ! Lenses could be fx Sony Carls Zeiss Sonnar 35mm 2.8 T* ZA, Voigtländer Macro APO-Lanthar 110mm 2.5 and Sigma 500mm 5.6 DG DN OS Sports, very easy to carry and use, I have most of the time the 500mm on one camera and the 110mm macro on the other camera, so always ready to shoot fast. Many times I do not bring binocular, then I use the Lenses for magnification, as I most of the time have one camera in my hand as I walk, if I bring a binocular, then it is either Leica Ultravis 8x32 HD or Leica Ultravid 12x50 HD. I use a small compact Lowepro photo backpack, I think new backpacks is too complicated, I like simple versatile bags, so many old bags are better than the new ones ! I never do videos and I ever use zoom Lenses which I think is too heavy, too big and too expensive (for what you "not" get). fx I sometimes crop from the Sony 135mm 1.8 GM Lens so it is equivalent to 300+mm with excellent results. My "universal" tripod is Novoflex, you can change all 3 legs if you need larger legs or you can use extender legs.

[@2epete]

FYI, the center column of the Sirui T-025x is removable. You can unscrew the center column and screw the tripod head directly into the tripod base. It makes it abut 18cm tall.

[@wuidzeit_simon]

Hey Olle - thanx for the details. Loved the card reader pouch! What’s the rain shell pants you’re using? I need a low noise one, which is still tough enough… Cheers mate

[@ollenilssonen]

Hey! I actually don’t have any shell pants yet. Been thinking lf getting something, and I also want low noise ones! But I do have hiking pants from Röyk, that I enjoy very much!

[@rickshay4656]

Just make some ice coffee or cold brew the night before and keep it in your thermos, or if you are gone for a few days pack some real coffee and an aero press :)

[@do.r.4750]

Hey Olle! Thanks for your video. You use a 8x32 binocular in your video. Are you satisfied with the light intensity during twilight? I'm currently debating whether to buy an 8x32 or an 8x42. However, I think that weight plays a decisive role here. Can you help me with my decision? 😅 Best regards!

[@ClausArdal]

I saw this video a couple of days to late. I also live right beside a big forest. I was out exploring and suddenly found myself stuck in the mud. I have newer in my life been this stuck before. I considered calling my wife and send her the location so she could come and help me. But I managed to place my camera gear a semi dry place and then I found a big stick in the mud. And after some time I managed to get out of the mud with the stick. My rubber boots had taken in some water but I continued my exploration with wet socks. After some km I had to give up and call my wife to come and pick me up. My feet hurt like .... (It was not my most proud moment when I had to call her). So Yes a very good tip about the socks. I will definitely bring some on my next photo trip.

[@ollenilssonen]

@@ClausArdal Oh, glad you got yourself up from the mud! And yes, socks can be a life saver for sure, nothing worse than wet socks without the possibility to change🥲 Cheers mate!

[@ncallend]

@Olle check if you can unscrew the center column of your small sirui tripod. I have one that is similar, had the same issue and rarely used it, and then one day it dawned on me that maybe it unscrews and it did! It's now my favorite tripod for my light setup for macro.

[@ollenilssonen]

Oh!! You’re now the third person commenting about this, I need to try it when I’m back at the studio! Thank you so much!😊

[@mavenhammar]

Bra och kul video - som alltid! Vore kul att se mer vad du rekommenderar för kamouflage-kit/outfit, finns en hel del ändå prisvärda på Temu och andra sajter som ser ut att hålla måttet jämfört med andra dyrare varianter. Ha en grym helg! ☀️🤩

[@OneWeekGetAway]

Curious how the 70-200/2.8GM w/2xTC compares to the 100-400 GM

[@kidcollie9117]

Try the nescafe azera range, a lot better then the other instant coffee, but if you have milk in your coffee try adding milk first to dissolve the coffee then add water, it stops the coffee burning

[@CurtisSnapshot]

The Shimoda bag looks perfect for wildlife photography, it might be my next one after my current bag bites the dust. Anyways, I enjoyed the run down of what you use to create these videos! (I also don’t have a solution for the bad instant coffee haha).

[@Koxser_official]

Yeah, I might forget to bring some extra batteries or cards, but I'll never forget to bring coffee ☕😅

[@ollenilssonen]

Most important thing!🫡

[@loke4801]

Nice video! Always nice to see what other photographers use of gear! Regarding the coffee - for day trips i would assume a termos with drip coffee is a better tasting choice? Unless you use the jetboil for other things aswell, like dryfood?

[@dexton285]

Thanks 🙏🏻 I've been interested in this for a while 😊👍🏻

[@Valleedbrume]

I’m really surprised that you don’t use the 100-400 GM lens.This is a fantastic lens.

Never tried it, looks like a great lens for sure!

That was amazing Olle. What city is the nature in? I'm absolutely curious.

[@str34mer]

For instant coffee, I cannot recommend Little's enough. I searched a bit, and you should find it on some stores on Sweden as well. Flavored or straight coffee, maybe requires test tasting to find your preference.

[@mateuszzdun9061]

I just realised that I've been watching you for the past year and a half without subscribing to your channel - what a disgrace! On the other hand, you just gained a new subscriber 🤣 Another great video Olle, as always! I really enjoy your perspective on wildlife photography! Cheers!

[@ollenilssonen]

Haha I really appreciate that you watched my stuff. Thank you for hitting the button!!😄🥳

[@sspenev]

Hey Olle, another great video! I want to ask you 2 questions. Do you use nd filter on the ZV camera, because we can see that you use a low apeture, or you just don't follow the 30/60 fps/shutter rule. Also I wonder, is it possible to consider making a video about the camouflage you use and what to do when using a camo. Where do we buy, what do we look for, all the essentials for hiding process. P.S. You inspired me to engage into the wildlife photography, you are a great person and you give motivation and inspiration, keep up and never give up, people like you are very rare and are very special.

[@ollenilssonen]

Thank you for the words man, i really appreciate it, and I’m so glad to hear that I inspire you!🙏🏻 I don’t use an ND filter for my basic vlog stuff. i’ve stopped following the rules and just crank the shutter speed nowadays. But when I’m after a really cinemativ look, I use ND-filter on my wider lenses. But for the telephoto lenses (for wildlife shots) I usually play with the aperture to get the correct shutter speed!

[@PierLofrano]

Great content as always. Which camera are you looking for? Pretty curious. Cheers Olle

[@SummitForWellness]

Since you do so much wildlife photography in dark woods, have you thought about investing in the Sony 300mm f2.8?

[@stephen8004]

I just picked up a 2x TC to test with my 70-200 F4 Macro and A7IV. Just took a couple quick bird shots on the street and it seems fine after sharpening in post. Maybe with an A7R or A1 with higher mp it's more noticeable IQ decrease?

Where do you store the 200-600 lens? I just got my Shimoda Action X50 V2 with large DSLR core unit, and I am struggling to put all my lenses in together with my Nikon Z8 (14-30, 24-70 2.8, 70-200 2.8, 180-600). Your video shows the open bag but w/o the 200-600.

[@diyarchery7753]

Hey Olle, Your 500mm may not be broken. The latest sony firmware update causes problems with 3rd party adaptors. Might want to check that out if you haven't already. Great video, as always

[@ollenilssonen]

That’s interesting! Imve already sent it for repair so we’ll see what the issue it. Thanks for letting me know!

[@naturephotographychallenge]

I think you'd really like coffee bags! Lighter to carry & better quality coffee. I'm assuming you have them in your country?? I buy them for camping & get them from any supermarket. Just add hot water 😀

[@Haihappen006]

Great Video! I also have the 200 - 600, 70 - 200 F2.8 and 600 F4. But I have to admit that the image stabilization of the 200 - 600 is not that good on the Alpha 1. I often experience completely unsharp pictures with short times 1/4000. Think I am going to send it to Sony for a checkup :/

Testa Nescafé azera espresso snabbkaffe😊 både jag och min kompis tycker att det är det bästa snabbkaffet.

Try BLAEK Coffee, it's still instant coffee but it tastest way better then the cheap stuff.

[@Rubaduck1o1]

For the coffee part, well not really other than that nescafe makes one called crema wich imo if i have to drink Nescafe tastes better epsecially if u drink it balck. oh and also, a great tip ise to use another container for it, saves so much on the weight compared to the glass jar, i remember back when i was a young kid, my parrents used the container from films they worked great, well every other small platic container works equally as good, but found it kinda funny it was for film :D

I agree big time on the 200-600 lens superb lens. and they arent that expensive tbf, id rather have this lens over tamron or sigmas 150-600 lenses, the shaprness and bokeh we get with it is crazy. if there would be a verison two hope they dont reduce the size, like the size for some reason, even if they go a bit gigger lol maybe give better low light in some way or bogger bokeh that be class. AAAND if the rest would stay as it is id be super happy. Must say Sony nailed it with this lens. Love all my shots i did

Hey Olle! Im in a pretty big dilemma :D I have the 70-200 2.8 GM II. (with an A7RIIIA) When i have some free time, or like after work i usually go try shooting some birds and stuff in the nearest forest. But every once in a while i run out of that 200mm, and i am thinking about getting something bigger. I am hesitating between the 2x teleconverter or the 200-600. Which one would you recommend? I would definitely go for the 2x, (because of the price and size), but im reading only sh it about it online. I really dont want to ruin the image quality with it. I hope you see my comment and share your opinion about it! Keep it on man, your content is awsome :D
