This video is so informative and insightful. I feel like it's really honest and upfront in terms of travel photography, because it isn't someone with a couple shoulder bags that won't be able to stand up to the elements. I was beginning to feel like no photographers used Black Diamond, Patagonia, Fjallraven, etc. products when in the field. I was confused as to how they traveled in the back country and transported gear that could withstand the elements without using gear that could withstand the elements haha.
Chris, you may already know this, but your presence on social media is what I feel brings you most of your audience. If it weren't for Instagram, I probably wouldn't have discovered your work for some time. Your landscape work and drive is inspiring!
+Uriah Graves Thanks man for taking the time to watch it. You guys seriously are the lifeblood to the whole operation and I couldn't be more grateful!
Chris, you should definetly start doin vlogs of your trips, they would be the most interestings vids of all youtube.
+Bosco Bernar Noriega I wish I had the time haha. I'll definitely try.
I think the closest you can get to following me along on my trips is to follow my instagram account and my personal account @burkgnar which includes a lot of behind the scenes, fun stuff.
+Chris Burkard Studio yeep i already do that! no worries man, if finally you have some time do it ahahaha if not keep doing what you do now because u do it great!
This was awesome. Super Helpful. Those separated Crumpler bags seem like a great solution. Thanks Chris!!
+gnarlybay Of course!
Very impressive, well conceived and designed packing system you have developed here. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for taking the time to make this vid, it's always something I've been curious about. ...And, the soundtrack in the background is cracking me up. Ellie Goulding, and now Ghostbusters. Rad.
+Roman Smart the guys at the studio love to mix it up ;-)
YOUR GEAR REVIEWS ARE GREAT! Thank you for your hard work!
Thanks Chris. So great to see how others go about packing/travelling with gear. Especially someone with your status. Thanks again for sharing.
+NorthSouth my pleasure
+NorthSouth yeah. I first saw him in the official swiss air video . this gear video is very useful . definitely gonna get those neck pillows . rest i have pretty much everything i need
oh wow! this is so great Chris! thank you for such amazing content!
+Danny Perez Photography my pleasure
This is awesome. Such helpful information. I am going to Europe for 3 months, and I've been stressing about packing all my camera and computer gear. Your tips will save me. Cheers ~
Awesome gear, love your pictures and the stories behind each shot. 👍🏻
+Austin Anderson Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
AMAZING gear review Chris! Love this video!
+XTreme Video Thanks!
Wonderful review Chris! Keep up the good work I'm a big fan!
I haven't even pressed play on this one but I've already called in sick for work tomorrow. I love these gear-vids, keep ´em coming.
Fantastic content as always, thanks Chris...and I love that Ghostbusters is playing in the background :)
Great and informative video. I really like your photographic work.
Awesome review just the video I've been searching for, for my trip to Iceland.
Thank's for the wealth of information! Love the room you shot in also!
+Wyatt Ellsworth welcome to my studio :-)
+Chris Burkard Studio would love to see more videos from it
I discovered you a few months ago on instagram then Facebook and I just wanted to say that I really love your photography. I find that you are very talented and poetic, you inspire me. You make me travel every day. I love your work ! I think that I become a fan 😅
+Gravity Thanks man! Glad to help spread the stoke!
Hey man! Was loving your shots of the Matterhorn a few weeks back so thought I'd let you know I've just touched down in Switzerland :D Thanks for the dope locations man
Great video Chris, big fan of your work. Would love to see an updated version of this video with how you pack and organise your F-Stop ajna bag :)
Chris You should do a video of how you store and organise all your gear, it would be quite interesting!
Great idea! I'll keep that in mind.
Another thought: file organization + post-processing rituals would be awesome. Happy New Year, Chris.
Chris Burkard Studio ,thanks for the video awesome! I was wondering if your using the 16-35 f2.8 or 16-35 f4 by zeiss?
We used to only use the f4, because they hadn't created the 2.8 yet, but now we use the 2.8
Loved your shots from Grindelwald. You captured it well.
Amazon wishlist updated. Thanks Chris!
That was the most epic gear review i've seen in a while. Going to rewatch with a pen and paper to dial some things in, especially all the charging tips.
But what interests me most is that you've stepped away from fstop and found a different type of "ICU" System. Up until now i've just considered Fstop packs to be the all around best but after literally destroying 3 Loka UL's on multi day treks and with my other fstop packs just too heavy and too many pockets. Getting sick of the back flap, i'm going to really consider a pack like that with more of a shell design.
As for the new "ICU" bags you are using they look awesome! I think you called them Crumpler pouches. Reminds me of that big chalk bag you had for your camera but these are next level! Will be looking into that too. Its amazing how much changes in a year, everything's always getting dialed in!
Thanks,
Blake
+Blake DeBock Agree with you 100 % here. I prefer less pockets. Mountain Smith is coming out with some rad stuff in the future!
Love your work! It inspires me to become a better photographer and videographer. Keep it up!
+Pinewood Outdoors Thanks!
Thank you so much for the video. I love your works! :)
These videos are great. And great soundtrack. I don't know how you manage to stay organized with all those cards!
+Ben Fleming number them ;-)
Very informative, thanks Chris!
Awesome stuff Chris thanks !!
Super helpful, thank you for sharing!
Thank you for these!
+NoAnchorTV my pleasure
Woah that is one heck of a studio you have there!
Chris, I love your work, but I think if I were going to shoot some of the places you shoot - I'm gonna want my peripheral vision. Gonna pass on the sunshades, lol. Seriously though - that shot of the surfer in front of the volcano in the Aleutian Islands is one of my all-time favorite images. Stopped me in my tracks, the first time I saw it.
Hey Chris, great video! I really admire your work and it’s been an inspiration for me for a while now, so thank you! Just wondering if you know where those Crumpler bags are available? It looks like the Haven and I can’t find it on Amazon B&H, eBay...anywhere! I’d really like to get my hands on one to throw in my backpack for added protection.
Thanks!
"Ghost Busters" background music, noice.
My bose QC20's were stolen last year. I miss them!
Thanks for the post!
+Dean Digamon Such a bummer man.. I hate losing gear!
Perfect video. Exactly what I was looking for. Love your work and the organisational system you use to support it and keep it easy and efficient. Once again, I'll be making quite a few purchases following your advise. Thank you!
One question for you if you have time. Does your 70-400mm Sony G SMM II zoom lens have Continuous AF functionality with the A6000 and A-frame adapter. I can only use the single shot AF which is too slow when it comes to shooting action. Thanks again.
wow. awesome review. super handy items ill start packing now for sure. :)
+Tekniq Photo Thanks man! Glad I could help!
great video . part 1 and part 2 both
Chris I think you can update us doing a new video of this! 2020 i hope so, what you do is amazing!
Thanks for sharing Chris. Great review! Do you typically hand hold your graduated ND filter? Also if you would be so kind and let me know who makes the filter case with the strap you presented?
I've honestly watched this video like 10 times haha it's so helpful! If you could only have one of the A7Rii or the A7Sii which would you pick? And what are your top lens picks for someone switching to the sony system?
Love your work Chris. For landscape/travel photography would you recommend the 70-200 f4 or the 70-300?
Great review. Very informative!
Can you please advise where you bought the wd drive with a pelican case? Thank you.
You're the man! Love watching these videos/seeing your photography. Ready to see what your next adventure is. Do you have internships at your studio?
Thanks Corey! You can find more info at www.chrisburkard.com/About/FAQ . Cheers!
guess I'm a little late to the party but great video... learned tons 👊
I always keep my lens cloths in ziplocks - sand dirt water are the enemies which will end up scratching your lens filter if they are soiled.
Thanks for this Chris - very good. It would be cool if you could show us some tips for editing and what software you use. Thanks again mate.
+Jordan Davies There is a rad Creative Live course which I talk about my editing process!
Anyone knows if the new Mountainsmith Day lumbar pack fits a MacBook 13" as Well?
Thanks for all the helpful tips Chris! One question do you prefer the Sony look over Cannon?
Hey Chris, any chance you would be up for doing an 2022 gear overview?
Ordered a free print a while back. Thanks chris! Great video as well. I'd probably go sony as well if the lenses weren't so expensive
+Jared Hogie all good glass has it's price...
+Jared Hogie The glass is worth it, that's all I'll say. Sony is really pushing the envelope when it comes to camera technology.
what size do you go with in the crumpler camera pouch (S,M, or L)? I also have an A7rii and am looking to pick one up. Great video, thanks again !
Hi Chris. When flying would you be having your backpack with cameras in the luggage hold of the plane, or would you use Pelican Cases or something of the like? Cheers Jason
Out of all your lenses what are you mostly takin into the water with you?
+NoAnchorTV probably a 16-35mm.
Thank you for sharing this video. I really love the Mountain Smith lumbar pack. So convenient that I wrap it around my waist and have a cross body strap. I was trying to get the crumpler haven pouch bag but they are discontinued. If you have any alternative that you can share, that would be awesome.
+Yash Nelapati I use the Crumpler Haven. It's what has worked best for me.
Thank you for the incredibly insightful and informative video! I'm a landscape / travel photographer and love your work! After shooting Canon for the first 28 years of life , I've taken the full plunge into Sony. I primarily shoot with the 16-35 on an A7R2 and RRS TQ-14, and also have a 70-200. In the next year I'm aiming to shoot the Northern lights and/or the milky way; I've looked at the Rokinon 14@2.8 and the sony 20mm +fisheye combo you mentioned. Which would you suggest?
+Mike Simon both are phenomenal options. It's really up to preference, but I shoot with a F/2 28mm with the fisheye which makes it like a 16mm at an F/3
Do you ever use hoods for the 16-35 or 24-70? Do you find it easier to use the cpl filters without hoods?
Hey Chris Burkard,
I'm a big fan of you and I have learned so much from you. My question is that I have really been thinking about switching to the sony mirror less system. I currently only own a Nikon D3300 and two kit lenses and a gopro. I shoot landscape and surf photography and I want to know since you shoot with the sony mirror less system what do you use to shoot with when you are actually in the water? Camera and Housings? Thanks in advance.
Awesome video! I do have one question though, do you not use the F-Stop bags anymore?
I was just wondering if you are ever planning on giving a talk/seminar in London? Love your work by the way
+Chiedza Jenje it's on the list... hopefully in 2016
What are your thoughts for a lightweight camera and gears that you would take while travelling, regardless of what you showed in your video? Need some help on this. Also give your thoughts on sony a6000 and a6300
Chris! im just getting into sports, action and nature photography. I have been using my canon rebel t3i and now feel (and saved a bit) to get a sony mirrorless. which one would you suggest I start out with?
Hi Chris,
regarding your Graduated ND filter, are you using the:
LucrOit Soft Grad ND0.6 (2 stops) or the
LucrOit ND Reverse Grad Filter ND0.6 (2 stops) with kind of a hard edge in the middle?
Can you share a link for this?
Ver much appreciated.
Highly celebrating your work!
Thanks
When are you holding another seminar in CA? Great video by the way!
+San Francisco Discovery Thanks! Hopefully in the New Year I will have one. Stay tuned...
MicroFiber cleaning cloths made from a MicroFiber towel- What type of micro fiber towel, and what is the final size after cutting the towel?
Hi, would the sony a6000 be a good camera for a beginner? I want to start out on photography but i'm unsure of whether to get this camera or a dslr camera instead. Do you have any advice? Thank you!
how you get your photos from computer (after color correction) to instagram in same quality?
Hi Chris, sorry for the late comment and I understand if you don't get time to respond, I couldn't get round to asking earlier. I was just wondering what your thoughts were on the A6000 with full-frame lenses, I know you mentioned the 70-200 with it but in general do you try and avoid it and mostly use cropped lenses like you had on it here? Also if you do get a chance to respond, what lenses have you found to work well with it?
wondering if you have the "star eater" issue with the Sony
Dear Chris, I love your work and you are a true inspiration!
I want to buy a starting package to start photographing more professionally. I will mostly shoot landscapes, but also my toddler son (who does not sit still) and turn these into fine art. I was thinking about the sony a6300 and sony ilce 7rm2, and was wondering if you could advice me (considering they have such different fps and ofcourse the megapixel difference). Plus which lens to buy, as I only have one shot at buying this and it should also keep up for the next 2/3 years. & did you ever take a look at he samsung nx1 camera? As its fairly similar to the a6300.
+Shan Brunel I would go with the a6300 its a really amazing camera, its also insanely fast so your son who doesn't sit fast won't be able to get away from the shutter :) the 24-70mm is probably perfect for your needs, wide enough for landscapes, but can zoom to catch your son.
Hey Chris! great video! I was curious about what happened to your A7II? did you get rid of it when you got the A7RII? or do you still use it?
+Sascha Yes, I sold it so that I can upgrade.
Great video. Do you ever carry a flash with you? When I was looking into the Alphas I noticed they have no built in flash
+La Belle Thanks. I try to keep all my photography with natural light. If I do need a little extra light usually a headtorch or little torch will do the job for my work.
Chris can you please tell the full name of RRS Tripod and Which ND Lucroit is the filter?
What model RRS tripod is that? Your work is awesome!
+Chris Burkard Studio LOVE your work!!! I'm upgrading my Nex5r to something more professional. Would you recommend the a6300 or going for a sony full frame for an amateur's only kit? And recommendations for an all purpose landscape lens to go with it? Moved to Norway 2 years ago and aching to up my game. Thanks!!!
The a6300 is definitely a super cool camera! Perfect for any lightweight adventures that you might go on but if you plan to be taking photos in lowlight or at night it might struggle a little on that end. The A7S or A7SII are definitely my go to cameras. Perfect for shooting landscapes, stars, and Northern Lights. Either way they are all super great cameras and I've loved using them over the years. Hope this helps!
Cheers,
Chris B
What is the tune being played in the background at around 8:25 mark?
Hi Chris, which brand is the filter pouch to protect your filters?
I am thinking that can I change my nikon setup to a sony setup.. but All says that sony is not a good for photo but I think although dont know photo quality but it is exactly great video quaitly. I'm confused when I see your vidoe or photos :) I a professional photographer I do sometime event or product shooting in studio however I travel much at the same time. with a d800 so difficult to travel also have nıkon 70-200 , 105mm macro and Tokına 16-28. do you think what am I doing? Thank you all best thing we excites us! this video has many good experiences! :)
Would love an update
Hi Chris. How have you been? Just wanna ask what size are those crumpler haven pouches?
Hi Chris,
For your Graduated ND filter, are you using a hard edge most of the time? Also from your experience, would you recommend getting a 2 stop or 3 stop grad ND filter? I only want to purchase 1 general filter that would be capable for shooting sunrise, midday, and sunset. Your advise would be much appreciated. Thank you.
+briando.ljc Hey man, I do use a hard edge the majority of the time. And I'd recommend a 2 stop for sure!
Great video. I am fairly certain I am gonna make the switch to sony. I am getting one for work and I am gonna mess around with it to be certain.
+Shakey Jake you'll be shooting mirrorless before you know it ;-)
Great video Chris! really enjoyed it! Have you gone completely away from using F-stop bags these days?
+Morts Lindholm no still use them. but wanted to show the other bags I use this time around.
cool! thanks for getting back to me so soon!
Hi Chris. Which ball head do you have mounted on the tripod?
Enjoyed the video(s) and have many things to add to a wish list. Why did you choose the iPhone 6S instead of 6S plus? Thanks.
+Doug Hewins Size! ;)
Hey chris, can you tell me why you are using the lense 24-70 f/4 and not f2.8?
we use both but mainly we use 2.8
Great video Chris!
If I were primarily wanting to shoot video with a great autofocus, could I get away with the A6000? Or is it worth getting the A7rii? Also I heard a 6100 is coming out so maybe I'll wait for that! I have Canon G7X and Nikon D5500 now.
+Evan Brand If you're shooting any sort of video at all I'd definitely go with the A7Sii. It was designed specifically with low light and video capabilities in mind.
+Chris Burkard Studio Thanks for the reply Chris! I ended up getting an open box deal at best buy on the A7ii, couldn't pass it up! Cheers.
Muito legal.
what size are the Crumpler Camera Pouchs you use chris?
a6000 with 24-70 Zeiss lens, or A7 with the kit lens? :)
Chris, I was just re-watching the video and I was wondering what size is that MacBook Air? 11" or 13"... Just trying to figure out how it all fits into the Daylight bag.
+John Geis Hey, John. It's a 13"!
Hi Chris. I was looking back at this old video of yours and was wondering what type of Graduated Neutral Density Filter you have?
Hi! I use a Graduated Neutral Density filter by LucrOit
hello chris, it is good to put sony camera a6000 into mountainsmith lumbar daylight backpack? thank you
+haniff ahmad Yeah It works great for me!
thank you chris.
Hey Chris! Loved your creativelive Outrdoor Experience, bought it and inspired by it! Quick question, what fisheye lens do you use with sony a6000 for the meikon housing? Cheers!!
or what lens do you recomend for that specific housing
+Reynaldo Jurado Biolley I actually use a 28mm with a fish eye converter
Hi Chris i was wondering which one should i get for my sony a6000 zeiss 16-70 or sony 18-105? i mainly shoot travel and landscapes and im still an amature
jeremy andhika 16-70 it's a great lens
Great video! Do you have any experience with the Sony 18-105 vs the 16-70 on the a6000? I've been debating on those two bad boys.
We use the 16-70mm and think it is a little more clear, but both are great lenses!
man, you have gears!
Hey Chris have you tried out the Sony PZ 18-105mm f4 OSS G lens? I would like to know your opinion on it.
+Arvin Harripaul I have not actually! But typically speaking, lenses with broader focal lengths tend to be less sharp.
which really right stuff tripod is this?
