Love the video! Normally I'm not into "What's in my bag", but this one is very helpful. When talking about gear, one thing that is becoming more evident is weight. I have back problems, complete with a couple of surgeries. Nigel Danson is the poster boy when it comes to a cranky back. There are several other photographers with similar issues. When contemplating a new purchase, I pay attention to the weight of each item. As we get older, the weight we have to carry is becoming more important than ever.
Glad to see someone who makes great photos but doesn't feel the need to run out and buy the latest and greatest camera or lens as soon as it comes out. Good lesson for all of us. Glad you were able to save your drone.
The Sony 16-35, Sony 24-105, and Sigma 100-400 is what I have. When I was deciding the middle group (where I mostly shoot), I looked at the 24-70 and then while I was watching your earlier youtube when you were shooting a lot with the 24-105mm, I decided that would suit my shooting style also. As I result I purchased that instead of the 24-70 GM. I don't regret that. The 24-70mm GM is sharper than the 24-105 but not by all that much. Also, based on how I shoot, the difference wasn't enough for me to lose the 71-105 range. I also have the 18mm Zeiss Batis and the Sony 90mm macro. Both special purpose lenses and I don't use that that much overall. It is nice to see what you find the most useful for your needs at this time.
Thanks for sharing your setup. I've got a similar one : A7R3 + Sigma 12-24 + Sony 24-105 + Sigma 100-400. Super happy with my setup. As I'm more and more attracted by wildlife photography I might invest in the Sony 200-600 and the A1 is also quite tempting despite the high price.
Thank you for sharing the pros and cons of your camera gear. You mentioned that your Tamron 28-200 doesn't perform greatly from 28-35mm, I checked mine and must say that I can't see that there is a problem. I checked Dustin Abbot's review and he seems to be impressed with the sharpness of this lens even down at 28 mm.
Thank you for showing that holding onto gear that's a bit older can give great results. We don't need to upgrade all the time when we've invested in good quality gear and look after it.
You took away any excuses I could have used on gear, since I have the same body, 16-35 and 100-400! Guess it's good I signed up for your web classes to improve the person behind all that gear. That filter case would save me a lot of time when changing filters.
Great video (again) Mads. I'm sure 'flippy' was considered (several seconds) by the Sony marketeers, before going with 'tilting'. I like it though, it has a ring to it.
Thanks for a great video. A tip from experience outdoors is to get a headlamp that doesn’t cycle through all the modes when you need to change from red to white light. That could mess up your night version. The brand silva are good
Great video! I really appreciate your minimalist approach. How do you like Freewell filters compared to Kase? And what’re your thoughts on upcoming Tamron 50-400?
Mads, the contents of this video is fantastic !!!!! And, the amazing way that through the years, you got it otimized (not only for landscape but, serving also for other styles)... Besides, that fits confortable (and light weight) on the ProTactic (one of my Bags too). Wish you great pictures and, a lot of fun through the hiking days. See ya, blue skies 🤙🏻🍀 be safe 📷
Thanks Mads! Needs to mention while you found the Tamron to be weakish from 28 to 35 mm at 42 MP you may not find this issue on a 24 MP camera. At least no issues for my eyes on A7III.
Thanks for the gear summary. Have you tried the,TAMRON 35-150? I use the same setup as you, except I use the WANDRD PRVKE bag and a Manfrotto 190 carbon tripod (with Leofoto leveler). I rented a Tamron 28-200 for a trip last week, and I’m considering purchasing one. But I am struggling between that and the Tamron 35-150. Especially if, as you say, it is too soft in the 28-35 range. I’m also struggling between the 14mm and 20mm for night time photography.
Interesting collection. I’m still lugging around lots of lenses and using my 24-70 most of the time. One of these days I’ll go back to the 18-200 that I started with and swore I’d never add to.
Great review, I appreciate that you don’t upgrade gear every new camera version - how do you manage to sync audio when using remote zoom audio recording?
Thanks :) There's a sync function in Adobe premiere pro, and if I'm far away I just make three claps before I start talking. Then I can sync the sound with the video of the claps.
Magnetic filters don't jam when stacked, nuisance at home but deadly in the field. I chose K&F which are similar. Mads, by stepping up filters you're losing the glare reduction provided by hoods. Is this of concern? Are you shading the lens with your hand or the visor of your hat, when important? Keeping the plastic insert in the hot shoes prevents the error message when in wet conditions. I've helped out others by donating a postage stamp sized piece of gaffer tape (which I store wrapped on one tripod leg). Rather than the Tamron 24-200, the much faster and optically excellent Tamron 70-180 f2.8 is my choice, and it does macro at 70mm. I skip the weight of the Sony 100-400 GM (which I sold) or the Tamron 150-500 (which I now own) by putting the 70-180 on the a7Riv. With 61mp the image can be cropped to the FOV of 300mm and beyond. Saves a lot of weight! True, I am no longer using full frame, but how much weight should we schlepp? To me this is the justification for 61mp. The Tamron 2.8/70-180 is only slightly longer and heavier than our trusty 4/24-105 G. It pairs well with a mid range prime (my choice is the Zeiss Batis f2 40mm CF) or with the new 4/16-35 PZ G. Do we really need to fill the mid range gap (35-70mm) with yet another lens to tote when we can crop? Again, high MP sensors help. When astro is anticipated I add the Laowa f2 15mm Zero-D, and when aperture stars are anticipated the Zeiss Loxia 21 (this Loxia is trivial to add to the bag, a joy to use, and produces astounding image quality).
Currently looking at packing options with my Lowepro 450 AW II camera bag as Im hoping to head back to Valencia in a couple of months and looking to take my tripod in my bag this time to avoid putting it in a suitcase. Ive been attracted to Sony for a long time but the one aspect you highlighted in your video Mads is the one thing that keeps me pondering as I have a fully articulating screen on my Canon and when you get as old as me, you are grateful for its agility being better than my own 😂
Great video Mads. The Mavic 2 Pro eh?! I love mine. Still going strong for me for 3 years. Original batteries. It’s never complained. I get it serviced annually and it’s been faultless.
Mads I have the same issue with the hot shoe and use a Nikon BS-3 hot shoe cover on my Sony A1. The BS-3 overlaps the hot shoe and to date no water has got in and stopped the camera from working. I am a Football sports photographer in the UK and the weather certainly tests the gear. Sony were aware of this problem with their hot shoe cover and in the last olympics, issued different hot shoe covers to the one supplied, to the photographers testing the A1 for the first time. But they still insists on supplying the original one rather than admit and redesign their own version of the Nikon one…crazy! A Nikon BS-3 costs about £8.
I've just purchased the 16-35mm f4 - it's a gem of a lens, in my opinion. Sharper than the excellent Tamron 17-28mm and equal to the 16-35mm GM. I would have gone with the 24-105mm f4 since you also brought the 100-400mm.
If i go anywhere near salt water i use the see thru plastic bag covers on the camera body,even before i used mirrorless. Probably saved my D700 when a huge wave engulfed it and me....still got the d700
Nice Kit it looks like you got it covered for what you need to do. I'm like you I like simple and basic stuff I do mostly street photography so my kit is very simple bring my camera and lens.
Your travel gear is not so much different year to year, and that's good to know, it's a choice in your specialty. Personnaly, I'm using more and more only 2 zooms, the 16/35 and the 70/180 Tamron on my "old" 7R3. The gap in between can be satisfied with a crop in image. This is coming from the analysis of my images along the years and showing the most used focals. For astro photo I've the Zeiss 18mm but it's only F2.8, again compensated with the A7s and its large iso capability. I'm also using the 24/105 (so good) as well a 100/400 Sigma time to time.
Hey Mads, Curious as to why you have the 20mm 1.8 and not the 14mm 1.8. I got the 14mm GM a few months ago and I can't believe how good it is. It can't have normal filters, but I've learned to live with that compromise so far. I still wanna pick up the 20mm eventually, but I digress. Cheers!
In some of your videos I have seen an intervalometre attached, you never reference the item, are they worth using ( I am a beginner) which brand would you recommend. Cheers Mads
Great video and insight. I also use (the original) R3, but I am wondering whether the Fuji Gfx100s (and lenses) would be better regarding quality. Since it has limited long lens options, it holds me back. Have you considered to switch to medium format?
Nice video! I'm not into photography for a long time (not a pro), but it's fun to see we almost have the same set of lenses. 😂 I'm finding really no need to go into the GM glass all the time and it's cool to see a pro kind of confirming it. I also have the Sony G 20mm as a night lens, and the 100-400 GM as the long lens (my one and only GM exception). I think with 16-35 G PZ seems a seriously good lens. The Tamron... hhmmmm.... Wouldn't you rather go for the Sony 24-105 G?
Great video, Im about to start doing landscapes again, can I ask or can you recommend me a ball head? I have the FGP18C from benro, a friend gave it to me but it has no ballhead, thanks!
I just asked James Popsys the same question: would you consider doing a workshop in Denmark? It's not as glamorous as the more popular locations, but it should be all the more educational, learning to do good landscape photography in the type of environment where most people live and have access to.
It is indeed something I'm contemplating, but it's a bit harder logistically than let's say the Faroe Islands. But certainly something I think about :)
I have the A7R2 at the moment and was thinking about upgrading to the R3. Purely for the ease of use, it seems more user friendly than the R2. Do You think its worth upgrading or should I put my money into some lenses? I'm currently using the Sony 24-105mm,Tamron 20mm F2.8 and the massive 200mm-600mm from Sony. Really want the 100-400mm from Sony.
If you do landscape photography, it’s not a good idea to upgrade to the r3 because they share the same great sensor. So it doesn’t make any sense. You don’t need the much better Autofocus of the r3 because it is not that important in landscape photography. You have the 200-600mm. So sports or wildlife is not the strong part of the r2 because the autofocus is really crap comparing it to modern cameras. Then the new a4 would be the better choice.
Hay Mads, thanks for your high quality videos. Care to share what lens cloth you're using ? You say "get a good one", but I always find it difficult to pick one, especially since a bad one could damage the lens... 😅
Honestly, I don't remember the brand as they haven't written their branding on them and they were given as gifts. You can probably find them on Amazon with loads of 5 star reviews :)
Nice, it compares a lot to what I take with me except for the vlogging gear ;-) Also for drone I have 3 batteries in total and use the Mavic Pro (from early 2017) still. 2 batteries are still original, one dies and I replaced it. Still have decent flight time of all of them. I wonder what the total weight of the backback with gear is ?
Great video Mads, interesting to see what you have packed for a trip. Two questions - where in the Alps were you? It looks amazing! Secondly, I'm in the market for a new tripod. Is there a lot of difference in weight between the Mach 3 and the Travel Angel? I don't tend to hike a lot (max 5kms/day?) so I'd appreciate your thoughts. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Thanks :) recorded at Cinque Torri, and yes, big difference between the mach 3 models and travel angel models. They have all their models and specifications on the website, then it's just about choosing what makes sense :)
When it comes toe Third Party batteries, the one thing I could never figure out is why when people spend $3000 on a camera would they skimp on the battery to save maybe $20 per battery? I mean to a point, there's only about 3 things that can go wrong with a battery: it expands (possibly from overheating or just age), it leaks, or it shorts out and damages the camera. The first two generally leave tell-tale signs that perhaps a non-OEM battery was used. The last is less likely with OEM batteries. And these same people think they can just send the camera in if the battery does something to the camera but companies know what to look for and what type of damage a swelled battery will do, or what a leaking battery looks like, plus they have their stats to tell them the likeliness or the previous claims people have made regarding batteries. In the end, it's not worth it to stick a $20 battery into a $3000 camera because if the battery fails, it could cost you more than a new battery to get the issue resolved. I too, only s tick with OEM batteries, they do cost more, but I can rest (and shoot) with peace of mind knowing that I likely won't have any issues and should get roughly the CIPA rated number of shots out of the battery, which is another concern with some third party batteries -- they may say you might get 300 shots, but I've seen people get as as few as 80 shots on a charge on a battery that advertised 300-350, and in some cases, multiple batteries from the same mfr would do this).
This video is really helpful Mads! Just wondering do you have any alternative recommendations for Sony 100-400 mm. (Such as Sigma 100 - 400 mm, Tamron 150-500 mm or Sigma 150 - 600 mm)?
go for the sigma 100-400 if youre wanting to take landscape up to 400mm at a slow aperture on a budget. get the Tamron if you want to prioritize weight and apeture at the lower focal lengths. Get the Sigma 150-600vif you are doing wildlife and landscape and need the fastest aperture at 500-600. the sigma 100-400 is the least sharp and slowest focusing and the tamron and sigma are both better and sharpness and focus and they are pretty similar in optical quality.
Gear is often just a simple "quick-fix" to get improved photography's, whereas technique requires practice. Also, we find ourselves on RUclips - which cater to more gear-people than technique-people, in my opinion.
To be fair, Mads always talks about technique. This is the only gear video I have seen him make. Then, you have people like the Angry Photographer, who I doubt has ever taken a good photo in his life...
DJI has just gotten on the list of Chinese military equipment in the us. Everything we love gets affected by constant conflict escalating political decisions. We need a serious peace movement to prevent us all from going down into a black hole.
Zeiss wipes can’t live with out them don’t know if you can get them in Denmark they are dirt cheap if you can’t find them let me know in the comments and I will send you a years suppy
“Although this may not be a very popular opinion, I think gear videos are some of my favorite types in the photography genre
Love the video! Normally I'm not into "What's in my bag", but this one is very helpful. When talking about gear, one thing that is becoming more evident is weight. I have back problems, complete with a couple of surgeries. Nigel Danson is the poster boy when it comes to a cranky back. There are several other photographers with similar issues.

Interesting as always, thank you Mads. I particularly like the idea of magnetic filters and step up rings, I think that'll be my next investment.
Great video (again) Mads. I'm sure 'flippy' was considered (several seconds) by the Sony marketeers, before going with 'tilting'. I like it though, it has a ring to it.
Great video, glad to see the drone survived the bath.
Thanks for a great video. A tip from experience outdoors is to get a headlamp that doesn’t cycle through all the modes when you need to change from red to white light. That could mess up your night version. The brand silva are good

Another interesting video Mads. I have a similar setup (minus drone). I'm looking forward to seeing your pictures from the Alps.
Even the classic "What is in my bag" video is made interesting by you Mads! :) Cheers!!

Magnetic filters don't jam when stacked, nuisance at home but deadly in the field. I chose K&F which are similar. Mads, by stepping up filters you're losing the glare reduction provided by hoods. Is this of concern? Are you shading the lens with your hand or the visor of your hat, when important?
Keeping the plastic insert in the hot shoes prevents the error message when in wet conditions. I've helped out others by donating a postage stamp sized piece of gaffer tape (which I store wrapped on one tripod leg).

Great video Mads, interesting to see what you have packed for a trip. Two questions - where in the Alps were you? It looks amazing! Secondly, I'm in the market for a new tripod. Is there a lot of difference in weight between the Mach 3 and the Travel Angel? I don't tend to hike a lot (max 5kms/day?) so I'd appreciate your thoughts. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Thanks :) recorded at Cinque Torri, and yes, big difference between the mach 3 models and travel angel models. They have all their models and specifications on the website, then it's just about choosing what makes sense :)
@@MadsPeterIversen thank you!
Absoluut epic😊
Thank you 🙏 mad
When it comes toe Third Party batteries, the one thing I could never figure out is why when people spend $3000 on a camera would they skimp on the battery to save maybe $20 per battery? I mean to a point, there's only about 3 things that can go wrong with a battery: it expands (possibly from overheating or just age), it leaks, or it shorts out and damages the camera. The first two generally leave tell-tale signs that perhaps a non-OEM battery was used. The last is less likely with OEM batteries. And these same people think they can just send the camera in if the battery does something to the camera but companies know what to look for and what type of damage a swelled battery will do, or what a leaking battery looks like, plus they have their stats to tell them the likeliness or the previous claims people have made regarding batteries. In the end, it's not worth it to stick a $20 battery into a $3000 camera because if the battery fails, it could cost you more than a new battery to get the issue resolved. I too, only s tick with OEM batteries, they do cost more, but I can rest (and shoot) with peace of mind knowing that I likely won't have any issues and should get roughly the CIPA rated number of shots out of the battery, which is another concern with some third party batteries -- they may say you might get 300 shots, but I've seen people get as as few as 80 shots on a charge on a battery that advertised 300-350, and in some cases, multiple batteries from the same mfr would do this).
Hi Mads - which monitor are you using for editing?
Currently the OLED screen of my Gigabyte Aero laptop :)
This video is really helpful Mads! Just wondering do you have any alternative recommendations for Sony 100-400 mm. (Such as Sigma 100 - 400 mm, Tamron 150-500 mm or Sigma 150 - 600 mm)?
go for the sigma 100-400 if youre wanting to take landscape up to 400mm at a slow aperture on a budget. get the Tamron if you want to prioritize weight and apeture at the lower focal lengths. Get the Sigma 150-600vif you are doing wildlife and landscape and need the fastest aperture at 500-600. the sigma 100-400 is the least sharp and slowest focusing and the tamron and sigma are both better and sharpness and focus and they are pretty similar in optical quality.
@@alexcinghialewohlberg5787 Thanks Alex for your suggestions!
Alex seem to have more insights than me, I haven't tried any other than the Sony, but I've heard the Sigma 100-400 is really good too :)
@@MadsPeterIversen Thanks Mads! I appreciate if others share their personal experience...
Mads you got rid of your 24-105?
I still have it, just don't really use it.
How's the drone after the volcano?
I love my 450AW-II too, not that good for hiking, I use an Atlas Athlete for that, but never will sell it!
Nice Nice,Video...what IS the Name of the Bag....the Company????? Thanks for the Answer
Shimoda, I have a link in the description of the video :)
Where do you put the drone.
In it's bag for the most part or in the bag pack if I manage to make room ;)
Content on gear seems to attract more attention than content on technique.
Gear is often just a simple "quick-fix" to get improved photography's, whereas technique requires practice. Also, we find ourselves on RUclips - which cater to more gear-people than technique-people, in my opinion.
Its sounding like the tamron lens while you like it, is fairly redundant in your kit.
Not sure why you'd say it's redundant when I specifically say I use it all the time 😅
@@MadsPeterIversen well because you said the 24-105 does the job, especially at those 24-35mm focal lengths and you have the 100-400 to go with it.
Ordinary people "Here's my camera bag, sat in the kitchen"
Mads "Here's my camera bag, sat in the Alps" 😁

the new sony cameras dont get that error message
@@Roysphotos8 my a7r5 do
@@MadsPeterIversen thats so odd i never get it on mine
To be fair, Mads always talks about technique. This is the only gear video I have seen him make. Then, you have people like the Angry Photographer, who I doubt has ever taken a good photo in his life...
DJI has just gotten on the list of Chinese military equipment in the us. Everything we love gets affected by constant conflict escalating political decisions.
We need a serious peace movement to prevent us all from going down into a black hole.
