memes aside, the camera strap is also a great stabilizer when you are in a pinch, specially if your camera+lens setup doesn't have IS. Nice video man keep going!!!
Hey that's so true! I've found the strap to be very useful when I'm out on photoshoots, it definitely helps stabilize my photos when I'm using a lens with no IS!
As a Pro for 35 years I will just add I never leave the studio without the following. Spare camera, we have 2 X2D's (the CFV100c is permanently attached to a salon stand), 4 lenses, six batteries, 2 Hass polarisers, Hass UV filter for each lens, 4 memory cards, the charger, 2 tripods. Laptop, Ipad, + charger.
Absolutely, contingency is key on a photoshoot. It's easy to underestimate how much gear you need beforehand, but you always need it once you get to the photoshoot!
@@Luke_Wyler 100% - quick story - I was shooting some Mechanised Aids to allow less abled people to enter pools. Im in the UK the pool was in the Netherlands - we had a 'To Go' Bowens traveller kit alwasy kept by the door, three lights, three brollies, three power leads, three stands, 3 cables. My studio manager Dave had 'borrowed' the kit over the weekend - I hit the road with the Bowens hard case and an old beaten up Hassy, got to the location, unpacked; no stands. I put the lights on the floor with just enough upwards angle to reflect of the lucky for me painted white ceiling - got the shot. Moral: check kit - it was my fault - but I still shot Dave anyway.
Man similar things have happened to me a few times! Some of my photographer friends will borrow something and I end up going on a photoshoot without it because I just expected the item to be in my bag! People tell me not to buy so much gear but reality is you need extra of everything just in case something breaks or someone borrows it! lol

Using the strap for stabilization is definitely underrated. Comes in very handy, especially when shooting with a long lens!
For sure!
