My video journey, Wow there is a ton of things to learn about just getting the equipment needed to start. Thanks to Michael and hours of research online I found the direction I wanted to go. I slowly started making orders online and getting some small things to be ready for my bigger purchases.
I ended up going with a Canon SL2 kit used on EBay. Its not a super high end camera but it is a starting point for me. I decided to invest more money in a lens ( 75-300m F4 L lens) for it so when/if I wanted to upgrade I can just upgrade my body and still have a good lens ( for a Canon).Now i have to wait on UPS to deliver my Camera and Lens sometime around the 7th. I also have some Gopros for reverse angle shots. My long term goal is to have a YouTube (KTC2) channel about my family's hunting adventures and teaching my 8 and 2 year old daughters the outdoor lifestyle. I will come back to this post and update as I learn and also with some questions I am sure I will have. |

Well my camera came in and I'm going to play with it this weekend getting all the setting set up. I did make a mistake and ordered the wrong lens :-( I order a 300m fixed lens and not a 70-300m lens so I'm having to return it and then get another lens.
How do yall carry your gear to the field? |

Should be a sweet setup with the 70-200 glass! I'm looking forward to your productions!
I've found that Domke wraps protect the camera/lenses and allow me to change packs depending on the situation.

So far I have ran into trouble with the tripod, I am not self filming. I have been filming my niece trying to get her first bow kill. I have a GoPro for a reverse angle and my DSLR for the main camera but trying to get video from one window to the other has been a challenge..... IF you are not self filming have yall ever free handed Or any other tips or tricks? Thanks in advance!

Whether self filming or filming for somebody else, limiting to a single shooting lane is much less challenging than attempting to move between windows! That said, it if you are filming for somebody else I might recommend a monopod. (Some tripods convert to a monopod.) that will make it easier to maneuver. I don’t know what kind of internal stabilization the SL2 has, but hand held may be tricky, especially with a zoom lens. A lot will come down to trial and error to see what works with your setup! ![]() Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Assuming you have a wide angle lens as well? I pack a 70-300mm in the spotting scope pocket in my backpack, I find myself using my 18-55 f3.5 probably 90% of the time though. Also use GoPros here and there, want to start using them more this year but the 18-55 on my Canon is the go to.

Try the Benro S7 tripod head. Buttery smooth and not expensive! That will help a lot. I have it and a set of cheaper manfrotto tripod legs and they work great
