The rechargeable blower is a great alternative for someone like me! I’ve got semi disabled hands and barely have strength to squeeze the rocket blower. It’s more expensive but well worth the investment if it saves me time and pain 🙏🏼
That’s a really great point! It’s a much easier process for anyone who may have issues with the movements or strength needed for the rocket blower! Thanks for bringing it up!
A bit of an oddball item - TrailPix Ultralight tripod. It’s really for long distance or multi day hiking. Uses your trekking poles as part of the setup (2 legs) and a foldable pole as the third leg. It’s super light - that’s the “selling” feature. I’ve taken it on 4-8 day coastal hikes to allow me to take long exposures of waterfalls and water features.
That’s very cool! I’ve never used legit trekking poles but I have definitely used my tripod to help in their place. I had never thought of it the other way!
i bought the Arsenal 2 after seeing your recomandation , but after i bought it i found alot of bad reviews on it and now im trying to get a refund ...ppl saying its not doing what they promot ,can you tell us about your experence ?
The Atoll is something I just heard about last week. I was like, wow, that is a great idea. Some of the reasons were obvious, like replacing L mounts, eliminates some of the drawbacks of L mounts, useful for lenses that have no collar, etc. I never even thought about that low angle thing, I never bother to use that setup on my tripod due to the upside down camera just feels so awkward. I would totally use it like this, I love low angles. I just checked the KS, it's now over 160K! People definitely are excited for it, I can't wait to get at least one of them. I actually reached out to the company on FB to ask if in the future they plan to make one that will also work on a camera that has a grip mounted to it, since it looks as though you can remove the main pieces from the base piece that attaches to the camera. They said they would like to, and it will depend on how much support they get. Hopefully they have enough now.
Just ordered one, its going to come real handy for my real estate shoots! The one drawback of my 3 axis leveler is that I can't tilt my camera 90 degrees like I can with a ball-head. I was thinking about a cage, glad I found the Atoll first! When shooting a home speed is king, so this just looks so perfect.
Could you do another video on the arsenal 2 pro. There's a lot of mixed feelings about that product and I've been looking at it since the first one that came out but I wanted to hear your thoughts about the other features as well as showing us it would be much appreciated 🙏 💯. Keep up with yhe great work!!!
Love this! Please do more of these videos! I think I want/need almost every item you shared on this video! Have you looked at the Falcam 22 Quick Release system? What are your thoughts between the two? Or could you do a comparison video?
The f22 system is cool too! It’s more for attaching accessories to the camera rig. It works best with their cage too. Definitely recommended though, as long as you’re willing to get all the way into the system.
The Atoll looks really cool! Only drawback I can immediately see is that it's not compatible with a 'nodal rail' or 'panorama rail'. On those rails, the Arca-Swiss connection is perpendicular to how the Atoll connects. If they made the Atoll base more square-ish like the Falcam/PD quick release plate, it would work both ways. Maybe something you can suggest to them...
I didn't google this, type it on youtube, or even say anything about this but I was legit thinking of accessories not often talked about. I went on youtube to look, and this was at the homepage. Kinda awesome.
And you are the hidden gem among Videographers, "hidden" only in the sense of non-splashy, worthy reporting, and heart-of-the-matter information. Batteries are the "heart" of my photo frustration: Too many different kinds, too many exaggerated claims, too costly, and prone to failure at Murphy's Law timing. What is worse? Why, battery chargers, of course! And for all the same reasons. So thank you for presenting some new ideas here. I will take advantage of this information next week when my charge card resets itself for a new month. 🤣
I hear some seriously conflicting reviews on the Arsenal2. Does this thing really work well now? Or will the unit constantly need to be reset? They have raised the price to a point where I would be expecting near perfection for the price of the unit.
My biggest question would be, Does Silence Corner Atoll work well for vertical gimbal usage (long term)? And is it lighter than a cage, I use small rig w/ A7iii
It was a smallrig multi tool just for photography. Check it out here → geni.us/photographytool I featured it in a previous accessories video → ruclips.net/video/F9S516-5vok/видео.html
Many of my accessories are just little things to help me be a little more organized, or at least less encumbered with all the "stuff" that I have to use. A lot of it isn't even photography-related. The first thing on my list is the Black Rapid tripod jacket. This thing is awesome. You can put as much or more in this as you would in a small camera bag. I wish they'd alter its design just a bit, to make it easier to attach tautly to different types of tripods, but that's the only negative thing I can say about it. I've placed direct-step step-up rings on my most commonly used lenses to make them 77mm, so that if I switch lenses I can just just keep switching lens caps and not have to putz around looking for the right one. It also means carrying only one ring adapter with my square filter system. What few circle filters I have are 77mm, so they're instantly usable on all those lenses. Heavy duty, woven velcro straps with carabiner clips for stroller handles. These are excellent for wrapping around the tripod legs so that you can clip anything you want quick access to right there on the tripod. Reflective tape and glow in the dark tape. Since I do primarily nighttime photography, these are invaluable for putting on gear to increase its visibility in the dark. I've put it on almost EVERYTHING, including the inner and outer surfaces of my front and rear lens caps. Nite Ize bottle opener with flat blade. The flat blade is a much better size for the screws that are on most arca and dovetail plates. The bottle opener needs no explanation. And it clips right onto the aforementioned velcro strap with carabiner. I've got one on each tripod. Multicolored velcro cord minder straps. With nighttime photography there are so many moving parts of what you're trying to do, the multicolor straps allow you to devise your own color code to help you keep your cords straight so you know what's going to what. And lastly, Crown Royal bags. They make nice lens pouches, stuff sacks, etc. You can buy those cord pincher thingies so that you can cinch the bags closed. Just ask the bartender at your favorite watering hole to save you the bags - they probably just throw them away.
GREAT Video, D! The blower baby is interesting and you make a good point! Also need some help. What's the name of the choon at @02:25? Sounds like a BANGER!! 👊🏾🤩
I use the Blower Baby to blow crap out my fpv when I crash it 😂 Also in love with the Falcams! Reaaaaaaly appreciate the shoutout for my pouch bro, thank you!! So pumped to get it in the hands of more creators like us 👍👍
Thanks for the video. I'm always recommending the Peak Design one to everyone, cause it's one of my best investments ever when it comes to camera accessories. But as you say, that Ulanzi thing seems to bring the concept even further. Nice.
Just to add some info from the ATOLL website. the lens should not be more that 1 kg in order to work with this thing properly. Thanks for a very good review.
The Falcam and Atoll both look like must have’s for quick use with tripods and gimbals, any clue if they work well in conjunction? I’d like to get both, but if I need to remove the Atoll to use with my DJI RS3 then it defeats the purpose in certain situations. Thanks!
I already have the Arsenal 2. Love it. The Blowerbaby and Nitecore batteries might end up in my cart by the end of the night. The ATOLL and the SSD pouch might also. My wallet sometimes hates when I watch your "best stuff" videos. 😑
#6 the sticky pouch would also work perfectly on the new Deity Slate if you are using the Tentacle Sync system to input timecode into it. Getting it for that reason!
@@dunnadidit I asked Andrew about something like this and never really got an answer...but it solves the issue perfectly. Just ordered it...we'll see when the slate is released in August. Great tip, thanks,
Great video Dunna, some great accessories to get,the Atoll i want to get for sure, having carpal tunnel in both hands the Atoll will make it easier for me, my one question i buying it anyway is will it handle the weight of my Sony 200-600mm on my A7iv safely, I'm going to buy a gimbal in the future also
Ooh that’s tough to know. I have had my heaviest lenses on there but I don’t think any of them are quite that big. You may be able to still use the collar on that lens depending on the placement.
I’m using Canon EOS R with Smallrig cage. Last week i received my Atoll (model C) for mirrorless camera and found out that you need to remove all your cage to use Atoll
That would beat the point of photography though, taking the process out of the process. All the other features though look neat if don't mind a dongle on your camera
i initially just wanted to try the Falcam quick release plate for my gimbal. but now i have totally moved 100% to the system. i really love it! ! cheap and really nice build. trust me it's worth every penny !
Following my earlier comment, Atoll - have just backed this, did consider this when it launched but couldn’t think of enough reasons to back it, but since your video, have how backed it. Also mentioned this to them.
I’m way late to seeing this video. I backed the Arsenal and Arsenal 2, and while I like it for a lot, I find that the app crashes or my camera gets stuck on a weird saving loop. Plus: still no crowd control!
Haha I just took your word for it. When I tested crowd control I think it was still in beta so I assumed from your comment that it still was. Shows how much I use it I guess lol.
The Atoll looks really neat! I already have the Spider holster mount attached to the bottom of my camera - and I love the Spider belt setup. Is there a way to use the Atoll with the Spider system?
Did you have an issues with dust being blown onto the sensor with that blower? I’m on the fence but I feel like all it’s going to take is a piece of grit in there to lead to an expensive repair…
I just got my Arsenal 2. I have the first generation and found it cranky that I use my Spark from Alpine Labs. So I look forward to trying the 2 out. I also bought the Atoll from KS. I find a lot on KS.
It’s my understanding that the atoll doesn’t support the lens, so if you mount to the atoll your mount holds the weight like before. If the lens has a mount then of course that mount will take the weight.
If you are a wildlife photographer and hiking through long grass or wilderness area. Then buy snake boots. You will not worry about standing on a snake. I also bough a mosquito head net and that is great in swampy areas.
Man Dunna! These videos of yours now scare me! Mainly cause of how good the various products are and I end up burning a hole in my wallet for getting them!!
An issue with the Ulanzi Falcam F38 Quick Release system: While the plates and bases on the outer side are arca compatible, the slots are not. What this means in practice: if you have a cage or bracket (eg.: SmallRig) you won't be able to insert it into the F38. This is not stated clearly in any product description. But it is easy to see if one compares the profiles of the inserts, regular arca plates have a taller straight base below the drafted parts of the wedges If you by the whole system and use it solely it's gona be okay, just don't expect full arca compatibility.
@@dunnadidit Yes. I've bought the base and plate kit. And thought I could convert via it a ball head that is velbon proprietary to arca compatible by screwing the falcam base on the velbon plate. Unfortunately the F38 base doesn't accept all arca compatible plates. The issue is that the F38's dovetail and slot cross section is thinner that the original arca. This way other arca slots can accept F38 dovetails, but not vice versa
Okay I see what you’re saying. I guess I just never expected it to work that way since most specific quick releases don’t work that way, the work in arca swiss heads, but don’t accept arca swiss necessarily. But it would be cool if it were somehow cross compatible every which way. I don’t even know if that’s possible without it literally just being arca swiss haha.
Dunna, should look at comments on Arsenal 2 before recommending it, personally still waiting for delivery. Have you actually used the finished product. Also F38 plate will not work with PeakDesign Tripod 🤬.
Yeah actually I waited on recommending it for a long time because when I originally got to try it, the software was still pretty buggy but they’ve improved it a lot now to the point where I really enjoy using it for the things I mentioned in the vid. As for the f38 on the peak, I pulled those two little screws out of the top of the peak tripod to slap in the f38 base. I just taped the two screws to one of the legs so I wouldn’t lose them. Workarounds… but they work haha.
Good stuff… The Arsenal 2 looks like it could be fun to play with…but the reviews. 😕 Kinda mixed… As it’s not something that I NEED…I think I’ll wait & see. Gonna keep tabs on that one though…don’t care about it picking settings as such, but some of the features could be fun. The Atoll seems like a great alternative to L brackets for those that want to save a bit of cash. I have RRS L brackets on all of my cameras, and Arca “feet” on all of my longer lenses, none of which are on the “reasonably priced” side of the scale, so I’m not their primary market…but if it works like it looks…could be a great alternative for a lot of people. Not big on 3rd party batteries because given what many cameras cost…OEM batteries are cheap. Yeah, I’ll fully admit that I don’t understand that one. Spend hundreds/thousands on a body…and then hundreds/thousands on lenses…and then worry about saving a few bucks on a batteries. Why? LOL That blower though looks like it could find its way into a bag or two.

Any good ball head you would consider? I havent found one I like.
With the heightened plate or additional accessories, can the ATOLL be used with a camera cage bro?
Never personally tried but I don’t think so.

Love this vid. I was super curious how the Atoll performed. I've seen that thing blasted all over FB and IG and glad to know it met your expectations.
Yeah! I’m loving it! As long as you can get past having something like that (or a cage or any bulky accessory) on you camera… it’s super handy!
A lot of great products and tips once again. 🙂 Must say, I really like your videos. Keep it up, man! 👍

I wonder about that too, gonna buy the Atoll and pair it with my Ronin SC & sony a6300. Let's see!
Can you take the ATOLL ring apart for cleaning? What happens if you get some dirt or sand in the ring? Does it just become useless?
Great question, I don’t see a way but you might want to reach out to silence corner and see what they have to say.
what was that tool you used for attaching the falcam plate to the bottom of your camera????

I’m using Canon EOS R with Smallrig cage. Last week i received my Atoll (model C) for mirrorless camera and found out that you need to remove all your cage to use Atoll
Honestly the Arsenal thing is what I expected modern cameras to have on board by default. Camera makers are stuck in the past.
Yea, with the 8-core CPUs in cell phones these days you'd think having such features in modern cameras would be a cake walk.
Agreed!
god mode for people who effectively don't know and don't want to learn how to shoot?
That would beat the point of photography though, taking the process out of the process. All the other features though look neat if don't mind a dongle on your camera
Buy a Fuji :). Their Jpegs are out of this world.

It’s my understanding that the atoll doesn’t support the lens, so if you mount to the atoll your mount holds the weight like before. If the lens has a mount then of course that mount will take the weight.
PLEASE I NEED TO KNOW THE SONG IN THE BACKGROUND I LOVE IT SO MUCH
If you are a wildlife photographer and hiking through long grass or wilderness area. Then buy snake boots. You will not worry about standing on a snake. I also bough a mosquito head net and that is great in swampy areas.
Do you find the Nitecore USB C battery last as long as the Sony?
Yup! Seems to be basically the same!
The best rocket blower is made by rangers. Rubber tip with a thin hole so you get more pressure out of it
hi, just want to ask anybody if the atoll collar works on pgytech beetle clip? thanks...
Atoll doesn't appear centered for Olympus OMD cameras otherwise would be a good addition.
Atoll is slick, had to back that! I knew watching this video would make my wallet lighter...Thanks Dunna lol
Haha sorry… er… your welcome!
Any Canon recommendations
Thank you!
That batter charger is hottttt
What tripod is that?
Man Dunna! These videos of yours now scare me! Mainly cause of how good the various products are and I end up burning a hole in my wallet for getting them!!
Haha 😂 you need me to recommend a good wallet too?
@@dunnadidit 😂 believe it or not I just got a new one
Would have been nice if the blower baby had heated air so I could dehumidify my lens if needed. I hate having to reach for the hair dryer.
Ooh interesting thought.
Cheers, just used your affiliate link for the Arsenal 2! Great video and inspirational idea!
An issue with the Ulanzi Falcam F38 Quick Release system:
While the plates and bases on the outer side are arca compatible, the slots are not.
What this means in practice: if you have a cage or bracket (eg.: SmallRig) you won't be able to insert it into the F38.
This is not stated clearly in any product description.
But it is easy to see if one compares the profiles of the inserts, regular arca plates have a taller straight base below the drafted parts of the wedges
If you by the whole system and use it solely it's gona be okay, just don't expect full arca compatibility.
Thanks for sharing! I’m not sure I fully understand though. Are you saying that you can’t use other arca Swiss plates in the f38 base?
@@dunnadidit Yes.
I've bought the base and plate kit.
And thought I could convert via it a ball head that is velbon proprietary to arca compatible by screwing the falcam base on the velbon plate. Unfortunately the F38 base doesn't accept all arca compatible plates.
The issue is that the F38's dovetail and slot cross section is thinner that the original arca.
This way other arca slots can accept F38 dovetails, but not vice versa
Okay I see what you’re saying. I guess I just never expected it to work that way since most specific quick releases don’t work that way, the work in arca swiss heads, but don’t accept arca swiss necessarily. But it would be cool if it were somehow cross compatible every which way. I don’t even know if that’s possible without it literally just being arca swiss haha.
Dunna, should look at comments on Arsenal 2 before recommending it, personally still waiting for delivery. Have you actually used the finished product. Also F38 plate will not work with PeakDesign Tripod 🤬.
Yeah actually I waited on recommending it for a long time because when I originally got to try it, the software was still pretty buggy but they’ve improved it a lot now to the point where I really enjoy using it for the things I mentioned in the vid.
As for the f38 on the peak, I pulled those two little screws out of the top of the peak tripod to slap in the f38 base. I just taped the two screws to one of the legs so I wouldn’t lose them. Workarounds… but they work haha.
I have a different squeeze blower that doesn't slip
Good stuff…
The Arsenal 2 looks like it could be fun to play with…but the reviews. 😕 Kinda mixed… As it’s not something that I NEED…I think I’ll wait & see. Gonna keep tabs on that one though…don’t care about it picking settings as such, but some of the features could be fun.
The Atoll seems like a great alternative to L brackets for those that want to save a bit of cash. I have RRS L brackets on all of my cameras, and Arca “feet” on all of my longer lenses, none of which are on the “reasonably priced” side of the scale, so I’m not their primary market…but if it works like it looks…could be a great alternative for a lot of people.
Not big on 3rd party batteries because given what many cameras cost…OEM batteries are cheap. Yeah, I’ll fully admit that I don’t understand that one. Spend hundreds/thousands on a body…and then hundreds/thousands on lenses…and then worry about saving a few bucks on a batteries. Why? LOL
That blower though looks like it could find its way into a bag or two.
Baterry charger looked cooled i kinda want it
That blower baby is tight, I kinda want one. Maybe I'll see if I can get someone to get me one as a gift. Or if it goes on sale.
Send this to everyone you know right before your bday or something haha.
@@dunnadidit my birthday was last week and it was light on presents so maybe I'll drop this to some of my friends to see if they'll grab it for me.
There you go!
@@dunnadidit success! One of my friends came through lol.
Haha nice!!
Cool video
