Unless used cardellinis are usually over $50, the Bogen super clamp with the removeable spud is under $50 and a necessity in any grip bag! Actually a grip bag/grip accessory video might not be a bad idea.
What's the XLR to 3.5 mm converter and complete part list for its set up. I'm trying to find one with a compact 3.5 malr out that I can plug into a wireless transmitter like you have. Form my search they're all female not male.
Great list as always. I might have to snatch one of those camera bags for an upcoming trip, seems like it could be a great fit to mix clothing and gear in-one
Normally when I see these lists they're full of cheaply built crap with dubious usability. This list is different. This list is golden. I'm purchasing at least 3 of the items on this list. Thanks Caleb! You rock!
Golden indeed, ordered a couple of those light stands before the video even ended! And an OM 50 plus a Fuji adapter were under $50 together, cheers Caleb for such a great list!!
Great list and video! That battery charging case especially caught my attention, definitely will be checking it out. Regarding that small Vijim light: be careful not to charge it while in use. I had a bigger version of it (VL196) that melted the body and became unusable (couldn't turn it off because the power button got stuck on the warped body) just because it was charging while in use and inside a makeshift diffuser for just a couple of hours. Returned it and got another one with an aluminum body instead.
Thanks for this list! There are quite a few valuable treasures in this trove, especially that super compact lumecube stand. I picked up a couple Ambitful light wands this week and was trying to figure out the most minimal way to carry and set them up when not having someone else working with me.
I’ll be honest with you, most of the time I find gear lists like this to be totally useless as most items that fit into a price category are things you’d never use or would quickly replace or have dubious usefulness. In short, most of the time these lists are kinda worthless. And to a degree that is still true here. But even in saying that there are items in this list that would likely be useful for a long time that I didn’t know about, and the pricing does make sense for someone that is price sensitive. For me, that’s the ultra compact travel stand. I do a lot of doc work and frankly lights, even for interviews is oftentimes a non-starter in the field. But at that size and 14” that would allow the use of a small panel or multiple small panels to be used. The RODE wireless go battery charger/bank could be used by basically anyone that has that as a set and wants to have an easy/convenient way to travel with their kit. There were a few others that I think would legitimately useful like the multi-pin head - but suffice to say this exceeded expectations. Solid content.
Does the Deiti D4 Mini work on Black Magic? I didn't think it was possible to use a non-powered mic through of any kind on those cameras? I have the BMPCC 6K and cannot get my D4 to work on it. Thanks for your help.
The Xvive is great (I have one and use it frequently), but it should be noted that not every XLR mic will fit in it. The opening for the mic "ring"... outer circle of the mic... is narrow, so many professional mics are too thick. It won't take my AudioTechnica AT897 or sE8, but will take my DPA and Oktava.
I give you full permission and blessing to ignore this and all other gear videos. Seriously though man, stay strong! Saving and/or getting out of debt is so much more important and rewarding than buying gear!
@@dslrvideoshooter haha. I hadn’t even watched the video before commenting and it still rings true. Haha. I will save this as a favorite for a future purchase once I’m settled. Haha.
That Wireless Go ii charger is exactly what I need! I can't tell you how annoying it is having to carry around cables and a big battery pack to charge them after a long shoot and the camera charger with the SD card holder is something I might have to invest in too!
Every time I see you uploaded a new video, Christmas just so happens to come early that day! Love your content, and you will always be one of the OGs from the many film RUclips channels that pop up almost on the daily! Quality over Quantity I'd like to say 👍👍
I would be really worried about ground loop feedback with something like that cheap phantom power module. Ime the rode wireless go 2 are very sensitive to feedback and noise. If you try it out let me know!!
Amazing to see that lens on a list again. I got one back when you made your first video on it. That was the first lens I ever bought as an upgrade from a kit lens, still have it!
I would love to buy a few of those "regular" light stands from B&H because the are way cheaper than Amazon and are tax free in my area, but B&H says it is a special order and could take 2-4 months to deliver...
The first item has a similar product from Andoer, which I ordered a small while ago. They are probably the same product/build quality and I really like them so far!
Fantastic list. Those stands are amazing. I've been wanting some modern, compact and lightweight that can go up to at least 8" so that came TV light stand looks perfect ❤️🔥 The portable xlr phantom power seems great too especially paired with the wireless go
Did you know that the VJIM RGB LED Video Light is made by Ulanzi as well? I think they are even the original manufacturers. I was able to snatch a 48 dollar version of Aliexpress including some extra stuff like a ballhead and tripod for that money (came with).
Hey! What's that XLR to 3.5mm adapter? Would love to run a setup like this but I can't find that adapter with a the 3.5mm jack rigidly attached directly to the adapter.
I'm gonna have to ask you to stop making these videos! LOL. As soon as I see the titles I just reach for the wallet. I might not buy everything you suggest but you do find some gems that prove to be very useful for me. That expandable tripod is definitely being purchased!
That idea to plug a condenser mic straight into a wireless transmitter (+ recorder) is such simple genius, and would have saved me on two shoots recently. Also for anyone struggling to find that exact adapter, I eventually found that searching for an XLR to 3.5mm *converter* is the key phrase.
Do you have a link for that? I have a Rode NTG4+ and I have struggled to get the signal into my DSLRs. I read recently that because the Rode is balanced mono, sending it directly into unbalanced stereo would sound awful anyway? I'm imagining Caleb wouldn't be suggesting this if it did though?
@@solutionboytv About your stereo/mono problem, this is fixable if you just convert the track with the camera audio to a mono track in post. That will convert it back to the microphones output format.
Great video, thanks 👍 Which small video light would you choose, the Andoer in your $20 video or the VJIN in this video? On Amazon UK they are pretty much the same price, so I’m wondering should I just buy the VJIN? Thanks Rob
I have to get these items ASAP. Last time I got to your list a month later and everything was above a $100. I guess you sent too much traffic to the sellers they decided to increase prices
Thanks for your insights, tips and tech. Can you lead me to a budget friendly DSLR that is good for intro film making? Key phrase is 'budget friendly" please. Thanks in advance.
Thanks Caleb! Would you recommend getting the XVive P1 and using the Deity S-Mic 2 as an on-camera mic with it, instead of a regular on-camera Mic like Rode VideoMic?
Awesome list of neat products. Sadly because of this video every single one of those products will now be out of stock. :). Cheers Ry formerly from Dubai
I've been looking for a cheap video camera that gives good results. Doesn't have to be Hollywood good, but "good enough" and cheap. Do you have recommendations?
Great list that u share, what I would like to use the wireless go with sm58 hand mic, but I couldn’t find the XLR female to 3.5mm male adapter, could you share the link where u purchase that?
Does anyone know of a camera battery case/charger for panasonic dmw batteries? I've got an S5 but I can't find anything for it that works like the product he showed.
Beautiful! Another amazing video as always. Thanks for this. Randomly I’ve bought 2 of the VJim lights, although they were branded differently. I based my decision on some of your previous videos. They are superb! I just wanted some to hide in some lights (as you’ve shown) and am very happy with the result. The other items are really enlightening, love the 3 way stand and the XLR Phantom device. Where’s my wallet! Something else which probably should have been on here is your LUT kit, that’s also under 50 bucks. I’m going to it out on the A1 even though it may not be officially supported. I’ve seen that some of the other LUT packages that I’ve purchased (leeming etc) cover the likes of the A7S3 and A1 with the same LUT’s. Therefore will see how it goes 😁
Also had that Rode Powerbank Case, was annoying to charge because whenever i had the mics and receiver put in while charging the case i had to remeber to shut of the charging for the mics otherwise it would take a couple of days to fully charge
Where did you find the XLR to mini male adaptor you use in the (XVive P1 segment )? When I try to use a short XLR to mini cable out of the P1 I only get hiss being recorded to my Tentacle TRACK-E. This is a SUPER helpful Video Thank you so much.
Can you please do a video on external microphones for me and other people with compact camera's that don't have microphones. other then sony mics because they have hot mic only mic. because my camera doesn't have one but I really wanna do videography
What would you add to this list? I'll go first and say a Matthellini clamp. Super versatile grip accessory!
Hey Caleb, would you recommend those came-tv stands for use in the field? Thinking of using them with an Aputure 120d ii and 120cm softbox.
you forgot to link the xlr to 3.5mm jack!
Unless used cardellinis are usually over $50, the Bogen super clamp with the removeable spud is under $50 and a necessity in any grip bag! Actually a grip bag/grip accessory video might not be a bad idea.
What's the XLR to 3.5 mm converter and complete part list for its set up.
I'm trying to find one with a compact 3.5 malr out that I can plug into a wireless transmitter like you have. Form my search they're all female not male.
Would you get the 48 phantom power or Saramonic Smartrig 2?
I call these "What is Amazon about to sell out of because Caleb talked about it?" Good stuff!
Nice pfp
Ah yes, why spend $500 when you can simply spend $50 10 times 😆
Trying to get that old Mac to work at the end lol. I always appreciate how unique and budget friend your lists are. Great video as usual.
caleb recommends.. ope nevermind it’s sold out
Ha! Thanks man!
That Xvive Phantom power supply is awesome! I am about to review it!
Great list as always. I might have to snatch one of those camera bags for an upcoming trip, seems like it could be a great fit to mix clothing and gear in-one
Thanks Ben! Yeah I love bags that have multiple uses.
3:45 What would happen if you daisy chain a couple of those together?
Normally when I see these lists they're full of cheaply built crap with dubious usability. This list is different. This list is golden. I'm purchasing at least 3 of the items on this list. Thanks Caleb! You rock!

Sorry this is completely off topic, but do you still have a camera guide for the Sony A6300? Thanks!
super useful to increase production value in my future videos and finally hit 1k subs!
DUDE! Just bought the Phantom power attachment the other day and did not think about attaching a wireless rode transmitter to my 416!! You're a genius
As usual...the "under $50" light stand is over $100 on Amazon Japan.
that tiny stand is 100 in europe! wtf
I loved that stand until I checked on Amazon: €109!!! Nowhere near "under $50"
I know some good lamps under $50
That battery case caught my eye for sure
Thanks for this list! There are quite a few valuable treasures in this trove, especially that super compact lumecube stand. I picked up a couple Ambitful light wands this week and was trying to figure out the most minimal way to carry and set them up when not having someone else working with me.

Wow, I have the Olympus 50mm Len’s sitting on my OM1, it’s been sitting on a book shelf gathering dust, might be time to breathe some light into it
Thanks! In Italy some of those accessories cost something like 100€ or are not available, we know Europe is not the best place to buy technology

Thanks so much sam!!! Means a lot!
cool stuff :) you think you could mount a amaran 60x/d with an umbrella modifier on the lume cube stand?
no change it`s stong enough. :)
For that XLR Phantom Power, was there any feedback with the Wireless Go ii? That's a setup I've been thinking about.
I would be really worried about ground loop feedback with something like that cheap phantom power module. Ime the rode wireless go 2 are very sensitive to feedback and noise.
If you try it out let me know!!
when he says 14 inches is “almost nothing”
I see a familiar item! thanks for the shout Caleb!
Thanks for sharing on Discord! Super handy.
What’s Caleb’s favorite LED tube lights?
FYI: camera charging case links, go to batteries, not the charging case.
Amazing to see that lens on a list again. I got one back when you made your first video on it. That was the first lens I ever bought as an upgrade from a kit lens, still have it!

Plz, don't buy the charging case for Rode, neither dont buy Rode microports. Choose DJI Mic. They are 3 times better
Hi dslr video shooter... kindly review the ambitful fl80. Thank you..
Hey! What's that XLR to 3.5mm adapter? Would love to run a setup like this but I can't find that adapter with a the 3.5mm jack rigidly attached directly to the adapter.

been searching for the exact plug/adapter, but have not been able to. any other advice than using the word "converter"? a link or product name?
Those LUME Cube stands are CRAP!!!! Bought two and thought they would be awesome....Terrible terrible!!
will that adapter at 1:50 work to connect audio signal from mixer to DJI/Rode wireless transmiter? which brand is that?
Thank you! Dude, lighting breakdown of your shot at 7:50? 🙏🏼😭
Great video, thanks 👍
Which small video light would you choose, the Andoer in your $20 video or the VJIN in this video?
On Amazon UK they are pretty much the same price, so I’m wondering should I just buy the VJIN?
Thanks
Rob
Grate video . That B-roll with the vintage lens of you on the old mac.. idk just kinda funny to me.
I have to get these items ASAP. Last time I got to your list a month later and everything was above a $100. I guess you sent too much traffic to the sellers they decided to increase prices
Great:) I have Fujinon Fujica X 50 1.6:) great lens
I have several double and triple headers.... LOVE THEm
Another potentially expensive (collectively) game of "Caleb says....".
Does that Deity D4 provide a option to combine is with a zoom f6 timecode 3.5 jack?
Thanks for your insights, tips and tech. Can you lead me to a budget friendly DSLR that is good for intro film making? Key phrase is 'budget friendly" please.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks Caleb! Would you recommend getting the XVive P1 and using the Deity S-Mic 2 as an on-camera mic with it, instead of a regular on-camera Mic like Rode VideoMic?
I would love that battery case.
Unfortunately they don't seem to be available in europe :(
What the heck is that camera in the thumbnail? So cool. And are the Came tv lights stands made out of metal or plastic? Thanks so much!
i have the same bag, i bought it in 2017 and it just hasn't moved at all ! really recommand it !
Do you think I could throw a Sony ZV-1 on the Lume light stand?
In India LumeCube Stand Price is ₹15,261. but for yours under 50$. this is how tech falls in here.
Hi, great video. Is the Xvive P1 a preamp? as in, will it affect the sound quality of my shotgun microphone?
Just checked the Deity mike and it is ... $186 on Amazon !! (B&H is still under $50!)
Triple head stand adapter, where have you been for the past couple years? Thanks man!
Awesome list of neat products. Sadly because of this video every single one of those products will now be out of stock. :). Cheers Ry formerly from Dubai
Do I need this phantom power thing when I have a Shure SM58? Or could I record directly to my wireless mic?
I've been looking for a cheap video camera that gives good results. Doesn't have to be Hollywood good, but "good enough" and cheap. Do you have recommendations?
Very Nice! Interested in the bag. 😉
I don't love the idea of camera batteries charging in a closed up case with no ventilation. Lots of good gear here though
Great list that u share, what I would like to use the wireless go with sm58 hand mic, but I couldn’t find the XLR female to 3.5mm male adapter, could you share the link where u purchase that?
Does anyone know of a camera battery case/charger for panasonic dmw batteries? I've got an S5 but I can't find anything for it that works like the product he showed.
Certainly interested in the (9) Camera Battery Charging Case though finding a Nikon variant seems impossible. Any leads appreciated.
Hey Caleb I'm looking forward to next monday :P
Some nice ideas ! I suggest a review of the new DJI Mic (vs rode wireless II) for a next video !
Beautiful! Another amazing video as always. Thanks for this.

The link to the Camera Battery Charging case for the Canon battery doesnt seem to be working.
Big up on that Olympus lens! I’ve been using the Olympus Om50 for almost 10 years now across 6 different camera body upgrades. Love it!
hi bud !! great stuff as always ... just one thing i have to say about your vids ... try to use a deesser. it is gonna help a ton
Thanks for the video Caleb! do you think that LumeCube stand could hold a amaran 60d with a small umbrella?
Great video! Would the "Camera Battery Charging Case" for Canon work on a EOS R6?
I have edited myself into movies and TV shows using some of your advice, tips and tricks so thanks!!!
Wow! Thank you for the kind words and congrats!
What Mic are you using for your dialog? Ive watched most of your videos - This mic sounds great... Thanks
Every time you do one of these I get excited. But my Visa card starts to tremble.
Whats the xlr adapter used to plug in Rode Wireless Go 2!!???? I need the adapter! Thank you :)
Also had that Rode Powerbank Case, was annoying to charge because whenever i had the mics and receiver put in while charging the case i had to remeber to shut of the charging for the mics otherwise it would take a couple of days to fully charge

When I try to use a short XLR to mini cable out of the P1 I only get hiss being recorded to my Tentacle TRACK-E.
This is a SUPER helpful Video Thank you so much.
i know its been two years, but im also looking for this. did you ever find one?
Love the look of that battery case and the baby pin extender!
Thanks Aram!!!
The first light stand is not available at either place in your description. The second light stand is over $50. At both locations.
Can you please do a video on external microphones for me and other people with compact camera's that don't have microphones. other then sony mics because they have hot mic only mic. because my camera doesn't have one but I really wanna do videography
Anybody find those camera battery cases for Panasonic? Or even Sony NPF?
The Lume Cube compact light stand is $60.. did they raise the price?
Very useful information especially for me, a beginner of content creator. Lots of thanks.
Hey, i rexommend lowepro trucke bp 250 ii is a 50/50 bag really cool
Oh. I thought it was crazy that he was saying a red camera with a lens and microphone costs 50 bucks.
I hate these kinds of videos cause I know I'm going to buy something every time I watch one! lol
Have you done a video yet on your old Red scarlet? i saw it in the thumnail?
Thanks - there goes my pocket money for the month! LOL
