In a pinch, a quarter works pretty well to attach the tripod plate

[@CurrenSheldon]

Very true, but I'm often surprised how seldomly anyone has change/coins on them anymore.

[@grahambinoreviews]

Love the BP150, I bring it with me for me on my legal video jobs. Great vid!

[@grzybair]

That documentary style b-roll shots :D

[@CurrenSheldon]

That's my buddy Elliott on B-Cam!

[@tiemji]

Nice items here thanks for sharing

[@heartshapedfilms]

Love the Lowepro Tahoe 150BP - I use to sell them loads when working at a pro shop - everyone would get them though eventually Lowepro took them out as they werent a pro product and we were selling to many. A true mini pro bp. May get my own. :D

[@scottievee7467]

Yup. Good stuff.

[@skinnybreakfast]

hey thanks for this.
i would love a video about your audio setup please! I have a studio mic as a musician - schoeps - that needs power and would love some advice and tips how to bring that into my workflow both in the studio and remote. syncing i heard you mention some toys to help with, but what about capturing the audio in the field etc... thanks!!

[@CurrenSheldon]

Great idea. Will do an audio gear setup soon!

[@justlivication]

Which mic holder is that 5:00 ? Never thought to run a mic off the 15mm rods, this looks like a great setup!

[@CurrenSheldon]

Yea I have everything set up on a 15mm rod system for my C300 III and C70 - keeps things way smaller and easier to add/subtract items depending on the job. The mic holder is the C300 III mic holder removed from their awful stock monitor/mic swivel thing and attached to the Vocas adater: www.vocas.com/vocas-microphone-holder-for-canon-c200-c500-mkii-c300mkiii.html - way more expensive than it should be, but they're the only ones that make it.

@@CurrenSheldon thank you 🙏
