Scott! Don't miss a video of yours. Don't comment much usually but there's one theme that is recurring in every video of yours. Straight up, no faffing around honesty. It's like you're talking to me over a coffee. Would love to visit your studio one day and physically have a conversation with you. For now, I'll just continue watching from Sydney, Australia. Keep up the awesome work my friend!
dummy battery? What the hell, I've been shooting all this time and no one ever mentioned about dummy battery! Nor have I ever heard anything about it. Thanks so much Scott!!!
Water; another essential piece of kit...never ever underestimate the need to hydrate! Also antacids, headache pills and a towel. Been there, done that, and still get myself into trouble!
Mostly, id just rent all the equipment inckuding a studio feom an economic stand point but its great rhat as a person with over a decade of experience in professional photography, I doubt people have much right to tell you what you should and shouldn't own let alone the quantities. Great video. Good refresher for those taking a break
The salon stand was my favorite when working. Bought it used, sold it when I closed up shop for slightly more than I paid for it. If you are a product shooter, it’s simply a game changer.
Cant forget about the humble polyboard/v-flat! bounces and softens light, fills shadows, cuts light off backgrounds and helps shape light! they are so versatile! underrated in my opinion.
my most used and most important gear is a dust blower. You can use it for everything. Cleaning Products, cleaning Sensors, Lenses.... i cannot live without.
Great information. I really like the Matthews SuperClamps. They are silver with a metal T-shape knob instead of the plastic knob. They move like hot butter. Really smooth. I was going to switch from a soft box to a reflector and now you tell me about bare bulb. I can't keep up. 🙃🙂 Love the tape idea. My most used piece of equipment is my new FUJIFILM GFX 100S. Got to really learn it. Keep up the great videos. Thanks.
Thanks for the great info! Going from being a newspaper photographer (two bodies, three lenses, and a monopod for sports) to creating my own studio for food photography.
This last year, I have been doing anything but studio shooting. I realized that I had forgotten some settings and how to adjust the settings on my camera, so I went into the wild and spent time reconnecting with my tech. The only "Go-To" piece of equipment I have folded into my work flow is my remote shutter release switch. I don't know how I ever lived without it. This morning I put my camera away (it was cluttering my desk), but I am experimenting with the video capture features and learning more about what they can do. I am really excited about that, but I have a lot of adult-type paperwork to do for the next several days in addition to several days of studio work.
Working as a part time product photographer since monday last week. 2 Things - First: man, I love these salon stands - they're really worth their money! Second: The love for my Fuji 110 f2 grows stronger every day (loved it before though).
Gaffa Tapes are great - however being on customers places, offices etc., for simple jobs where you do not need to attach something heavy, like marking positions I tend to use special 'painters tape' (whatever it is called in English), that can get removed without any traces as customers are more familiar with these and trust nothing will remain on the surface. Good ones from the 'Tesa' brand come in different colors.
I have 2 C-Stand, one backdrop holder, 1 circular 120cm bowens box, 1 bowens square box 80 cm x 120 cm, 1 large unbrella silver 180cm. I dont have a studio. I just rent a ballet space when a need to.
Hi! First of all, thank you for sharing your knowledge, you made me discover some photography enigmas (focus on the view camera, for example), and the best and fastest way to focus (I found very useful the one with the 3 ways to focus). I have a question: What is the purpose of the tennis 🎾 balls on the tripod tips? Thank you again!
@user-cr4sr8ic5i I'm guessing the tennis balls are so you can see the end before you walk in to it, and they're big enough that you don't poke your eye out if you do walk in to it... 🧐Which reminds me of the warning sticker: "Do not look at laser with remaining eye."
I don't think you need to own 20 C stands unless you are a movie studio. I think you can get away with two of them and have other light stands! The most important lighting stand you can get is a boom there are so many things you can use it for when you start out. Money well spent guys!
Not gear heavy - always need to be light as possible. But overall beyond my camera, Godox V1, Tiffen Glimmer Glass 1 and Blackrapid RS1 (which i got at the stupidest bargin price, I thought it was a fake )
It is a background clip. I have several purchased through eBay years ago from LS Studio. They were being sold by a number of companies at the time, and came unmarked as to a manufacturer. I am not finding them available now with the straight baby receiver. They are available with a mounting spigot. Neewer, and others, have a Heavy Duty Metal Clamp Holder for Reflector with an articulated umbrella swivel mount. Manfrotto offers the 175 Spring Clamp or 275 Mini Clip Clamp with a baby receiver, which are higher quality products.
kupo and neewer knuckles and grip heads are the most annoying photography-related thing i've ever had to use (besides Hassleblad's Phocus but thats pretty rare to see on set nowadays lol). the lack of micro adjustments on them is maddening, and they just feel cheap as shit. c stands and rollers are not the thing to cheap out on, one once, cry once, and you're elder self will thank you later on.

" and you attach it to your assistant..." - that made me chuckle!
and they turn into a portable tape dispenser LOL!
dummy battery? What the hell, I've been shooting all this time and no one ever mentioned about dummy battery! Nor have I ever heard anything about it. Thanks so much Scott!!!
Yep! Plug into the mains - shoot all day! And they're really not expensive - less than many a battery, and never need to charge!
Water; another essential piece of kit...never ever underestimate the need to hydrate!
Also antacids, headache pills and a towel.
Been there, done that, and still get myself into trouble!

Love your straight forward blunt honesty. It is what we need in times like now. No BS. Just the real deal.

Croc clips, the metal ones OMG FOR EVERYTHING.!
oh and C47's lol
I admire the time you take, to show us how a pro photographer works. Always interesting!

Mint 😂 I just love this channel, gets right down to basics.
My best purchase was a load of super clamps and a matthpole of craigslist. No matter the camera system, grip lasts.

I've used scaffold bungee ties for cable management for 15 years and they've never let me down. At about £10 for 50 they're a no-brainer
Thank you on your straight to the point video. keep up the good work

Actually looking to buy tue 110
@@TinHouseStudioUK Got a great deal on mine used. Together with the Pentax 67 90mm LS my most used lens.
My new to me Cambo stand has totally changed my studio work.

I used the sun, sometimes i'd rather not have, but when it's right it's the best.
Thank you very much for the amazing tips.
Btw, in filming the rope holding all the gaffer tapes is called "soap on a rope"😅
Splendid hairstyle💯
One of my favorite tool is a lint roller ✌🏻
Good tether cables are worth their weight in gold

Hi, Try a kupo super clamp next, as good as the manfrotto, but you can reposition the handle after tightening.
There is such a type of Manfrotto as well.
@@kristofbarta2964 did not know that. Not easily found, at least not in my part of the world.
Yeah but it’s like a lottery, half nmine move, the other half don’t haha
You have 20 C-Stands? Want to ship a few down my way sir here in Miami 👀

You should show your toolboxes and what all you have in them 😃
The first stand. Who's "angle clamp" do you use?
Ooh and what is it called? 🙃
