In relation to your 24-200 lens. Sounds like you have a pretty special and intimate relationship with this lens, and if you ever lost it would almost be comparable to losing a loved one........ 👀.. I find it hilarious that everytime you pick it up , you extend it.. 😂. Great channel, videos help me a lot. 👍🏻
Thank you Henry. As a former gear junkie, this is a brilliant video for me to watch. I have been gradually selling stuff, online, Facebook, part exchanging with MPB, etc. Upgrading to a lower resolution camera, if that makes sense to anyone? I've thinned out the amount of camera bodies, lenses and so on. It always breaks my heart to see stuff go, but then I have to remember, did I actually use that camera, that lens, that whatever else to any great degree? When you have a professional such as yourself highlighting what you actually need to produce the results that you achieve it makes me feel better. I like to think of myself as a budding landscaper or wildlife photographer. Two cameras, three lenses, L brackets, a tripod and one adjustable filter only now. All I need now is something to sleep in with some level of comfort. I need a Blue Jay!!! Thanks again for this video.
I'm watching this at midnight before an early rise to go backpacking around the Ben Nevis range while the coronation is on. I should be in bed but I couldn't resist a Henry vlog! I have a similar set of gear but without the video elements - A LowePro 45L pack with Olympus MFT camera. I take a 18-36FFE wide angle that doesn't often get used and a 24-90FFE that does most of the work. I also have either a 90-375 FFE tele zoom or a 150-600 if I think wildlife might put in an appearance. My filters consist of a polarizer, 4 and 6-stop NDs and 3-stop hard and soft grads. I tried the Peak clip but didn't like it so I use a 2 inch wide shoulder strap if I need a fast response, but mostly the camera stays in the bag till needed. The tripod has a levelling head and I use spikes almost all the time. and an L-bracket(along with the levelling base) is a panoramic game-changer! Looking forward to your next adventures. Oh yes, and Paramo waterproofs, another game changer!
Hope you get to feeling better. I look forward to your videos every week. Portugal is on my bucket list. I went there twice when I was younger working on a camp there. I would love to go back with a camera and take some great shots. Thanks for sharing what you have in the bag.
You can't make a bad video. I like how much you can do with your tripod and ball head. Quality information on your gear. To use your words, "absolute class."👍
Great essential video, have you thought about doing a landscape drone stills video, I carry a dji mini 3 with me and it’ll be interesting to see the appropriate times to use it . Regards Trevor 👍
Nice change and an informative video Henry. I purchased a Mindshift bag a while ago from watching one of your videos and agree they are top quality. Hope you have recovered from the stag do (get some Iron Bru and a good curry down you). Looking forward to the next outing.
I just wanted to compliment your audio. Thinking back, I don't recall you having nearly as many issues as most of the other creators I watch. Audio is very important, as you say, but it really only becomes noticeable when it goes wrong. Thus you should probably take any non-criticism on the topic to be implicit praise.
Off for a nap?!! Ya poor old soul. I purchases my Backlight bag (36l) after seeing yours in one of your videos, great piece of kit along with the PD capture clip. Really interesting watching you talk through what you take and why. Hope you’re better now, and raring to get back up and at it. Cheers Henry.
Good to see you taking care of yourself. I hope it passes quickly. Highly recommend the two peak clips... one for the big camera and one for the video. Dont have to have both out all the time, but it's good to have that option. Take care!
Good video! I’d also recommend a ‘spudz’ lens wipe cloth - super handy. And good tripod, but checkout the Ulanzi Zero Y Lightweight Travel Tripod - only 1.1kg and folds really neatly. Has similar features (removable column, locking head, etc.) but so much lighter.
You should go out with just the drone. I do this from time to time. I do both rgb and infrared photography with 2 cameras and a bunch of glass in my bag. Sometimes I'll just grab one camera one lens and set the challenge. A bit like your jpeg day out.
Push the “record button” when in photo mode and it will hide all the icons on the screen apart from the focus box and grid lines. I hope this helps. I found it out the other week on my Nikon z6.
great video! does hitting the record button in stills mode not get rid of all the icons on the rear screen? it does on the Z7II..... but maybe not on the MkI. just a thought. hangovers are the worst!!
Another great vid Henry! I seem to be pretty much the same as you in gear..right down to the BlueJays cap even!! 😂😂 Interesting re the camera clip..I've never wanted to chance having my camera strapped to my chest when I'm out doing landscapes for the fear of one wee stumble on some rocks and the camera gets it first. Having said that, I can see it's benefits. Keep up the good work sir and next time ye have a hangover, grab yourself a bottle of Irn-Bru!! It's brought me out of the darkest of places plenty of times! Andy 🏴 😉 😂😂
I keep saying, "This is the last lens" - then it takes maybe a week or two when I'm considering "one more". I did convince myself after converting to the Z system, that I don't need a macro. I never used my f mount macro that often for its primary purpose. Thanks for the tip on the 10 stop ND, and for reminding me that a few scratches and a bit of sludge is not fatal to your gear.
Sometimes it good to let the hair down Henry and hope you are recovered from your stag trip. The 24-200 appears to be a popular choice and see numerous photographers having this in their set up. Shooting mainly architecture these days I changed from my 5Div to the EOS R for the fully articulating screen as it now makes my life so much easier and will be a key feature when the time comes to change cameras in the future
I have been using both a D750 & Z6 with the Z6 being my go to. Both are very comparable. I just bought a Z9. I want to step things up. I haven’t been out with it yet just puttering around my home doing some Macro stuff. Hopefully this weekend.
Just in case people are wondering - I don't think you can use the peak design capture system with the L bracket - it will only work with the dedicated plate. I suppose you could attach that to the L bracket but then it would not sit right and you would have to remove it to use the L bracket on your tripod.
I agree about the lens Henry. I pretty much stick with my Sigma 18-200mm when I'm out shooting landscapes (though I do still carry the 10-20mm just in case) used on my trusty D7200. The range is so flexible and means it's ready for pretty much any situation! Hope the head's feeling better soon! 😁 Incidentally, it came up on my memories that a year ago today I had the 1:1 day with you. Still trying to finesse everything you taught me 👍
I just picked up a Z30 for my main video kit, too. Very impressive camera, I actually prefer it over my Z6II (lightweight + flip screen = winner!) Great video as always, Henry!
Can I ask what L bracket you use? I do get tired of rotating my camera and it's really the last piece of kit which would be a good QoL improvement for me.
Self inflicted so no sympathy here 😀😀 great video hard to believe that your wonderful photography is created on very minimalist gear !! Take care plenty of boiled 7up will sort yea 😉
Hi Henry - the record button removes all icons, text etc from the screen so you can have a clear view for composing. Press it again to return to normal!
I enjoyed seeing what’s in your camera bag, Henry! I just purchased a Nisi polarizing filter. I’m looking forward to using it on some waterfalls next week. And the Mini 3 Pro… an awesome piece of gear! I’m new to drone videography and have been having a blast adding that extra bit of perspective to my videos. -Misti
Hi Henry, another interesting video and thanks for sharing. Ah the heady days of the D7200, how we remember those with fondness. As for changing the Z7, just be sure it doesn't suffer the same fate as good old trusty DSLR. I hope you're a little more chipper soon mate, the trouble with booze is that before you know it you're a lightweight, but at least you'll avoid the big red nose and look like you swallowed a football. The issue with being a lightweight is that "2 pints, your anybody's" ... and "3 pints you're everybody's!" Looking forward to the next expedition ...
I have an iFootage Cobra 2 monopod and that one is silly good, so I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if their tripod are equally smart and useful. Also have the 45 liter Mindshift: it is a bit bulky, but, oh man, it can swallow a serious load of gear!
Don't know if it would work on the z7, but I have the z6ii and in photo mode, the record button turns all that info off. I do agree about the screen. I've been shooting Nikon so long that I remember when the vid screen rotated around. It was easier to break but so useful.
Stag do’s!! All that drinking kills me off now and I’m not even that old! Interesting to see the gear used. I personally would like to know your settings for videography as I have mine in auto but I feel it’s not getting it’s best potential but then I like the ease of use.
I think I use AP mode for video mostly, no ND filters I'm not fussed about shutter speeds. just like having it wide open for a bit of background blur. I'm a bit more run and gun a lot of the time so can do without the faff
@@HenryTurnerphoto ahh right, that sounds like a good idea, I’m Not really fussed about having blurry backgrounds I’d rather keep everything in focus so maybe a higher f stop would work. Thanks for that
3 Legged Thing make an (Arca Swiss) L-bracket with a built-in Peak Design Capture Base (oddly called "Ellie"!) - very handy! I bought mine used from Wex.
@@tonygreenwoodN10 Nothing odd about the name - It's an "ell" bracket, after all! LOL I'm just amazed they have one for the Canon 850D. That is THE FIRST, ONE AND ONLY L bracket designed specifically for the 850D that I've seen. Period. I bought a Sunway (?) universal "ellie" and it works fine, but it's mounted off center to allow the battery door to open. Although as a result it does make for a nice "handle" on the camera. I was just idly wondering about the PD clip and usage, although "idly wondering" usually leads to buying something... 🙂 Thanks!
I disagree with you Henry 😮; you are wrong about the worst video since you haven't made bad ones. This is well worth watching Henry since I've been considering a new tripod.

Nice to see what's in your camera bag! Hope you're feeling better by now!
Gear in the Gaff!
Yep, definitely your worst video ever 😁! Also among your best. Thanks for your honesty, Henry. You're a legend.
Thank you for this video! I’ve wished you would do a video like this for some time. Feel better!
You can't make a bad video. I like how much you can do with your tripod and ball head. Quality information on your gear. To use your words, "absolute class."👍
Thanks Frank, means a lot!!
Glad you are taking care of yourself! Even your gear videos are fun to watch! Thanks for taking me along!
Peak design clip system is brilliant 👍

Sounds like my 18-135 on my canon 7Dii. I go to Thailand quite often and I only take this lens
Thanks Henry for sharing your gear ...I am always interested in what photographers take out with them.... cheers from Australia 🦘🦘😊
Enjoyed the video mate very informative for the Learner . Love to see you do one on the Drone. Thanks once again . OUT

Be mindful o possible pacemaker interference when using the Gopro magnet clip. Excellent video. Do you also pack the enthusiam? 😄
great video! does hitting the record button in stills mode not get rid of all the icons on the rear screen? it does on the Z7II..... but maybe not on the MkI. just a thought. hangovers are the worst!!
How do you manage a peak design clip and an L-bracket on your main camera?
Another great vid Henry! I seem to be pretty much the same as you in gear..right down to the BlueJays cap even!! 😂😂 Interesting re the camera clip..I've never wanted to chance having my camera strapped to my chest when I'm out doing landscapes for the fear of one wee stumble on some rocks and the camera gets it first.

Do you have a link for the neck mount magnet for the GoPro?
I guess you don’t carry the kitchen sink! Almost mirrors my kit apart from the video & drone. Interesting and great update. 👍👏
Nothing like self inflicted pain. 😂interesting insight , cheers

Yeah I think it's just a small thing I wish I could change, I don't think it's a massive deal for landscapes to be fair!
I have been using both a D750 & Z6 with the Z6 being my go to. Both are very comparable. I just bought a Z9. I want to step things up. I haven’t been out with it yet just puttering around my home doing some Macro stuff. Hopefully this weekend.

I've been lookiing at the Gazelle TC6s for a while now. What ballhead do use with yours?
Hi Henry, have you seen the Nitecore BB2 air blower,? that's been very handy for me cleaning my gear, it'll blow your socks off. :)
Great video thanks for sharing 👍
Cheers Gary!!
@Henry Turner no problem buddy Allways a pleasure watching your video's

Incidentally, it came up on my memories that a year ago today I had the 1:1 day with you. Still trying to finesse everything you taught me 👍
How do you find the stabilisation on the z30 vs your old Olympus?
try hitting the record button to remove the detail from the LCD live screen view I think it removes the data you mentioned
I just picked up a Z30 for my main video kit, too. Very impressive camera, I actually prefer it over my Z6II (lightweight + flip screen = winner!) Great video as always, Henry!
Can I ask what L bracket you use? I do get tired of rotating my camera and it's really the last piece of kit which would be a good QoL improvement for me.

Have you had any problems with taking your 45L pack on an airplane?
Can the Peak Design clip and a (Arca Swiss) L-bracket be used (and attached to) the camera simultaneously? Or is it one or the other?
One or the other (as far as I know) unfortunately
3 Legged Thing make an (Arca Swiss) L-bracket with a built-in Peak Design Capture Base (oddly called "Ellie"!) - very handy! I bought mine used from Wex.
I use the 3 Legged Thing Elle Peak design capture L bracket as well.

Thank you mate!
Blue Jays Cap?
Do you want to sell the camera bagupstairs, that you don't use much? How much?
Two important reasons to have the L-bracket: 1. the camera stays optically centered and 2. the tripod doesn't get unstable.
I disagree with you Henry 😮; you are wrong about the worst video since you haven't made bad ones. This is well worth watching Henry since I've been considering a new tripod.
👍📷😎
Not being able to clear the screen is very annoying! Would be such a simple fix too but they won't do it.
