your backup flash > the main flash haha, the v1 is amazing oh and i'd try and put liquids like hand sanitizer, etc outside of main compartment just in case cabin pressure or liquid seeps out so it won't endanger your equipment

[@frederickmcdonald6636]

Very informative video - love your selections of gear! Efficient and effective - have an awesome time out there....

[@Gemini_Connect]

Thanks! I used to carry so much more gear, but I think it’s down to a manageable amount now.

[@LouisLuzuka]

You’ve been making all the videos I love watching thank you Susie ❤😊🎉 BEST BIRTHDAY GIFT EVER opening this notification today 🎉😊

[@Gemini_Connect]

Happy birthday!! 🎊

[@LouisLuzuka]

@@Gemini_Connect thank YOU!! and thank you for bringing me joy, much love from vancouver canada :D

[@greasyflight6609]

Cool video...nice gear

[@shanejackson1973]

Susie, I absolutely love your channel!

[@Gemini_Connect]

Thanks so much 🥰

[@shanejackson1973]

@@Gemini_Connect You are very welcome! As a blind videographer, I consider you a mentor of mine!

[@blackentrepreneur244]

Solid set up. I shoot with a Fuji XT4 for photography & Sony a6400 for video

[@davetv8171]

i have the A7RV now and its a great blend of the A7iv and A7RIII. I sold the A7IV when I got the RV as I already have a second body. The RV is smoother and starts up instant, even faster than the A1. I sold a few things but absolutely love those baseplates since i never use the battery grip. The wrist straps are great for street photography and thieves. and last but not least, the 70-200 GMII is a gem and I sold my Nikon Z equivalent and just use the adapter.

[@Gemini_Connect]

Wow, crazy that they made so many improvements in the RV already. I’m *really* tempted to trade in my RIII for the RV, but also curious about what the A9III will bring.

[@davetv8171]

@@Gemini_Connect yes, it never stops with Sony. One thing I wanted in the RV was the crop ability I missed once with the RIV. One thing I didn’t like much with the A9II. The A7IV you have is a great mp point at 33. I wanted to keep mine, but couldn’t justify it as I needed the funds to help with the RV. The AI in the RV is great and I find myself using it more because of the screen. I use it or the Z9 mostly with the 50, 24-70 or the one I just got used, the 12-24 GM. I just shot an event with the RV and my beat up A1. AF seems about the same working with a speed light off camera. The GMs work just as good on the Z9 with the megadap.

[@karyleianawildernesscapes]

How'd you get into shooting red carpet events? (Like Sundance, etc) How would one go about getting into it?

[@vonwolfersdorff]

Nice video, as always. I love to peek into camera bags. Which add-on did you use for the product picture-in-picture? That looks very sleak. Greets from Berlin, Martin

[@ptrk7738]

Hi,can you do a video for action camera 3 ,accessories please? Thank you

[@mitchlazorko]

Great video! Do you think you could ever settle on a two lens setup, like the 20-70 f/4 and a 135mm fast prime instead of the 70-200?

[@Gemini_Connect]

That’s a great question. I’d love to find a cheaper and more lightweight telephoto to replace the 70-200, but haven’t found one yet. I’ve strongly been considering the Tamron 35-150, but I hear it’s still pretty big and heavy.

[@brianpark2564]

@@Gemini_Connect just picked up the rokinon 135 1.8 for like 615, was a good deal but i think its over :(

[@dymanh]

I have both of those cameras!!!

[@Gemini_Connect]

Nice! They’re so great to use.

[@gordon3988]

Always a great video! Given your cameras and lenses carrying it all around is also a a bit a fitness workout! What did you shoot the video on?

[@Gemini_Connect]

Video was shot on the DJI Action 3.

[@m.sabir21]

Excellent video, does Jektropro that you have shown is available in the market? I searched but did not found it.

[@Gemini_Connect]

I’ve got links to it in the video description box.

[@m.sabir21]

Thanks for the links, it seems from the links that this product is not yet launched.

[@AjaySingh-228]

Wow amazing mam..I dont have camera..i need to buy one

[@ingridbond3432]

couldn't hear the name of the sturnum strap camera attachment... pls. give me the name/maker, thanks! i'm a big fan, great videos, thank you.

The backpack clip is the Peak Design Capture Clip. Works great!
