Great Video thank you. It is amazing when you actually breakdown “What’s in your Backpack”, camera equipment is only a small part of it. People carry far too much and defeat the objective, which, above all, is to enjoy yourself when out in nature and leave nature as you find it. Keep well, Stay safe and enjoy the Outdoors 👍🇬🇧
The other day someone said to me, "You have one of those professional white lenses on your camera." I said, "It's just a lens. The professional part is here in back of the camera. But, I'm not a professional." We're all gear heads and interested in what's in other photographers' bags. But, Mads would still make great photos regardless of what's in his bag.
I enjoyed the video as usual Mads. It was interesting to see what you gear you carry around with you. I always enjoy watching your video's and seeing your image's. Keep up the good work and catch you on the next one.
I just got a new camera for my birthday and it was the sony A7RV along with a 24-70mm sony lens and I have been learning how to use it and I love it I have always been into photography as a kid and utilized cameras that you couldnt change the lens on normally so watching your videos which I just came across has been super helpful for me to learn how to get better at photography so I thank you a lot for that, I am going to take a look at your book and potentially even your lightroom course to further develop my skills.
How do you find the Shimoda Action x50 for air travel? Was looking at that and the 40 but couldn't get a good sense of how it fits in things like overhead bins.
@@Chromatomic haven't had any issues besides once when a British Airways steward decided I was the spawn of the devil... If in doubt just remove the tripod :)
Hi Mads - can you share the full details of the micro fibre cloths you recommended as the link won’t work in the UK. Either that or I’ll wait for Nigel Danson to launch his :)
Mads Pentax photographer my two lens setup Pentax 16-50 2.8 mmWR , Pentax 55 - 300 mm PLM WR My cameras ste APS-C so the two lenses cover the full frame equivalent of 24mm - 450 mm I fo have a third lens I occasionally carry a Pentax 150-450 WR My low light lens is a Samyang 20mm 1.8 and my wide angle is a Samyang 8 mm3.5 I normally I do not carry the Samyang lenses except for speciality photography
Nice video. When you fly do you have any problems with the size of the 50L Shimoda camera bag? It looks like a great bag but do the airlines ever make you check it?
My bag is similar to yours! 3 lenses, travel tripod, fullframe body, drone and freewell filters. What they say about great minds... it's a good setup for hiking.
For the Sony hot shoe moisture issue, try the Nikon BS-3 hot shoe cover. It is rubber and completely covers the hot shoe unlike the supplied plastic inserts usually supplied with cameras.
I keep gaffer's tape wrapped on a tripod leg and place a postage stamp sized strip over the hot shoe. Works fine, both alone and over the little plastic insert. Gaffer tape often comes in handy.
Since You’re making a video about gear, I wanted to ask you wether you now regret buying the 16-35 pz instead of the 16-25 G which wasn‘t around. In other words would you still recommend the 16-35 pz over the 16-25 Price is very similar and the power Zoom isn‘t something I really want. Best regards, Love your Videos :)
@MadsPeterIversen Thank you, for the quick response :) The huge lense selection with Sony is sometimes just overwhelming for me.. Hope you keep up your style of videos, photography on RU-vid has become way too focused on tech rather than actual shooting :)
I bought the Canon 14-35mm f4 lens after you discussed it in a previous Mads and it has been a great addition to my set up and now looking at possibly the 100-500mm as my next lens addition. I do like the look of the Shimoda and was wondering if is this your carry on when you fly? In terms of your hot shoe issue, I recall you used a cover previously (possibly nikon) but didnt see it in your video. I had the same one and lost it 2 weeks ago in Paris and was wondering if yours is missing in action too 😂
The Canon 14-35mm f/4 might be the best lens ever. There is just one issue with it: It is on RF mount :P It is so good that if they would have a 50-400mm on RF I would jump ship right away. The 100-500mm is a lovely lens too, but for my use it is expensive and heavy, but certainly fantastic. For landscapes the 100-400 is a good option too, nice and light. But then there is a gap from 35-100mm I would want to fill up, but don't really want to bring a heavy and expensive standard zoom lens extra for that....
You don't carry around everything we have seen in the video... This photographer's are making a lot of money.. put Hasselblads in the bag 💰 is very expensive and the most part of the people doesn't see the difference.

@2:45 So I have been only imaganing things like having a Nikon system that I have bought both Tamron and Sigma lenses for over the years. According to you, Tamron and Sigma lenses are only made for Sony! If also for Sony, there is no point mentioning it.
Where did he say Tamron and Sigma "only make lenses for Sony"? Not everyone is a seasoned photographer and knows what you do about other camera and lens makers. What I heard was that if I buy a Sony camera, then I have options of buying other lenses and don't have to buy the expensive Sony ones. Whether or not Tamron and Sigma make lenses for Nikon, Canon, or any other cameras never even crossed my mind, because this video was about the gear he is using and why. It's not a video about all of the lenses available for all of the camera bodies.
@@lianalehua7424well he did say that he enjoys using Sony because [Tamron and Sigma] which doesn’t make much sense. I guess he would also enjoy using Nikon and Canon for the same reason 😂
@@jeremyhendersonphotography Well, if you're a Canon RF user, there are *no* full-frame, third-party lenses available. And they've only this year okayed third-party APS-C lenses, five years since the first RF models were available, so that's probably the point that Mads was making when he said that line. (I know nothing of the Nikon world.)
It’s hardly Mads fault that Canon refuse to open up their RF mount to third party lens, which is pure protectionism . As for Nikon I can only assume Tamron and Sigma don’t think it’s worth their while.
