Thank you so much Todd! I love your video, it’s very informative, logical and very clear mind. And I love your voice too, you are like a professional broadcaster talking with charming voice! Really enjoy to watching and listening every video of your channel! Great job! ❤
Really happy I found this video before me upcoming trip to Iceland! I feel a lot more prepared. Thank you!
Best tips and I have been doing photography for 20 years. Thank you!
Going to Iceland this year for the first time and been looking for a good tips. Perfect!
Awesome! I made this video an eternity ago, so I'm glad it still proved useful! Can't remember if I covered it in this video, but something to keep an eye on (always) is the weather and road conditions. In winter it can be very windy, so check Iceland road safety sites if needed. When Route 1 is shut down, you can't get anywhere.
@@dominey thank you!
25:12 tripods once cleaned don't feel new this is because the grease that is applied to the thread has to be wiped off and cleaned. You can make it the same as new or even better by applying some dielectric grease. I use permatex brand dielectric grease.. works like a charm. There are many other brands and grades of grease as well such as loctite. A word of caution don't apply anywhere else other than threads as these are very high viscosity and can spoil instead of fixing. Worth getting a small tube. I even dismantled and cleaned the original grease from my ball head and applied permatex.. it made the ball head controls way more smoother and just feels more premium a joy to keep fiddling with the ball head.. ))
Brilliant video! I'm heading to Iceland next weekend and thought I had everything covered but you've given me 2 more things I need to think about.
Glad it was helpful! Have a great trip.
Great video, Todd. We’re heading to Iceland in a few weeks and, while I’ve thought of a lot of these items, it’s great to get perspective from someone who’s “been there and done that”.
Amazing and useful video, definitely deserves more views! Thank you for explaining everything so well!
Although this video was created 4 years ago, I'm sure all your tips are still valid for my presentation for next year trip to Iceland. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent video and suggestions! Thank you.
Very helpful tips Todd! Thank you
Thanks for the heads up! I"m going in 17 days and will get an order off to B & H today! Happy shooting.
Great tips. Thank you!
Great video Todd. I've been to Iceland a couple of times and shoot with a Canon 5D Mark IV as well. I'll be picking up a few of the items you recommended and look forward to your next video!
Good suggestions! Thanks!
The far simpler solution to keep your legs relatively clean, whether it's sand, mud, or snow - get the extensions that are designed for your tripod legs. Not only do you get a few more inches of height, but you also help protect the joints of your tripod.
Thanks for the tips. Im going to Iceland in a week 😊
Aug 2022, still very relevant. thanks for the video!!
Great video - Thanks
Thank you for this helpful video.. After months of miserable lockdowns, no new opportunities to photograph a new landscape, I booked a flight to Iceland in July. I was thinking if a second body would be overkill. This video cleared up that question. Keep up the good content! Just found your channel a couple of days ago.
Oh man, I hear you! July is a fantastic time to visit Iceland. I can’t wait to go back.
Renting from LensRental or Borrow Lenses - have used both - both great
24:57 - 25:04.....thought it was just me :) A cracking overview. Cheers.
I am going to Iceland in October and this is by far the most helpful video I have found in regards to prepping camera gear! Thank you! Do you have any suggestions on tri-pods that won't break the bank but still withstand the wind and rain?
Thanks! That’s a tough question to answer because you generally get what you pay for. I think Benro makes some nice, sturdy tripods for the money. I used their Mach 3 there and it was fine!
Thanks for the great tips Todd, what would you say is the best times of the year to photograph Iceland? Thanks Rick
I have the flexible lens hood. I’ve only used it to shoot through glass. I think it would be a bit unwieldy to use in other circumstances.
Thanks for the tip Gwen. I bet it probably blows around a fair bit in the wind too.
Why was your L-bracket every off the camera?
do you monetize your photography? and if so, can you give some tips on how? my dream is to travel and take photos
It only gets dark in the winter not in the summer i’m from Iceland and I know
Funny how old this is. So much more tech now haha
Right?
