u/GIS-Rockstar · 5 pointsr/photography

I wrote an article on intro DSLR kits on Amazon. I wouldn't bother unless you bundled them with your camera.

They're definitely crappy extra toys, but they may help you learn more about photography (by showing you how things make your image quality worse); but they also were kind of fun at the beginning and encouraged me to get out and shake the bugs off and dig into learning how to shoot good photos (and how extra toys don't really help). Everyone takes shitty photos at the start anyway, so you're not missing much; and it's not a ton of extra money over grabbing a body/kit lens/good SD card; but if you already have your camera kit, you can skip it for sure.

DO NOT USE THOSE TRIPODS!


Those are strong enough for point and shoot cameras at most. Especially with a telephoto lens, the tilt arm is likely to fail and it'll fall on sensitive optical mechanics. Those are in the $10 price range. Spend at the very least closer to $30 on a tripod, and a $100-ish tripod will be a safe, and useful tool to use with your precision imaging equipment.

tl;dr - Sure, it's a waste of a little money, but they can be kind of fun toys. Burn the tripod.

Stuff I'd suggest getting:

  • 2-3 nice SD cards: Class 10, 32-64 GB each

  • Another few cheaper (but still fast) SD cards: 4-8 GB

  • Solid tripod. $30 or $100 is well worth the money

  • Rocket blower. Avoid touching the lens, whenever possible and never touch the sensor. A lens cloth should be plenty. Avoid being tempted to use a wet cleaning kit on the lens or the sensor if possible

  • I love my big, cheap camera bag. I have 3 lenses, and a speedlight and this is perfect for me. I wear it across my chest and carry it on my lower back where it's out of the way and easy to deal with 95% of the time.

  • An Intervalometer that matches your camera

  • Manual flash that can tilt & swivel

  • Flash triggers are fun and work great with those cheap $10 tripods. Check Strobist.com for great tutorials and inspiration

  • Flash gels can be fun creative tools too. Can you tell I'm getting into playing with off-camera speedlights?
u/TonyDarko · 4 pointsr/photography

That was an excellent and thoughtful gift, kudos to you. Aside from the lenses, there are a few other things that help a lot when starting out in photography (I'm just figuring this out as I'm pretty new):

  • A tripod can help if he wants to take low-light pictures and set up really long shutter times (it basically makes it so that no shaking messes up his pictures) and it can help to take pictures of you guys. I'm planning on bringing one for a trip with my girlfriend and I so we can take cool pictures where there may not be other people to help out.

  • A good bag or backpack would be great, increasingly so as the amount of gear that he has goes up. It's tough to carry around all that crap, and these bags make it pretty easy to fit.

  • a strap, pretty self explanatory. carrying around a DSLR in one hand sucks.

  • Extra memory cards and possibly an external hard drive are nice because RAW camera files take up a toooon of storage and having backups is always nice in the case that a really important picture gets corrupted.

    As for lenses:

    Nikon 35mm prime (basically allows him to take pretty nice, wide open landscape pictures at great quality)

    50mm prime widely regarded as the best starting lens (another no zoom lens that is an all-around all-star that is pretty versatile. good for portraits, landscapes, etc)

My favorite is to use DSLR camera bags. You can get them cheaply on Amazon.

  • Shoulder version
  • Larger backpack

    They have movable velcro dividers, so you can rearrange the compartments however you like. It also allows you to keep things separate- i.e. storing the silicone lube away from the silicone toys.
u/themcan · 3 pointsr/M43

Amazon Basics has a couple sizes of camera bag that could be an option; I have the larger and it fits my old P&S, camcorder, and EM10ii w/ pancake and 2 lenses (and all the assorted chargers and spare batteries for all the devices) with room to spare. I wouldn't call it a great solution if you're looking for something to wear on a hike or out on the town for an evening, but if you're just looking for something to keep your gear together to easily be able to take in your car, the price can't be beat.

u/VRegg · 3 pointsr/Vive

I'm guessing everything will be consolidated into one box unlike the Dev units to make shipping easier. I'd doubt they put much thought into a portable case.

But don't worry I am sure there will be third parties that release a custom case. In the meantime, you can search for "Gadget Bag" on Amazon and other retailers. I could see many of the larger bags designed to accommodate a big DSLR cameras working well. Just don't forget to measure and account for the extra space needed for the tether.

I think something like this would work well, and the orange would be a nice touch to make it aperture sciency. http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Large-Gadget-Orange-interior/dp/B00CF5OHZ2

u/janesmb · 3 pointsr/AskPhotography

Amazon Basics backpack and smaller gadget bag.
I don't normally take a laptop but there's room for one in the backpack. Depending on how full it is, plenty of length for a water bottle, I'd probably just tie one on tho.

u/zp42 · 3 pointsr/AskPhotography

I have the Large Orange interior Amazon Basic one and it does the job for me. https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Large-Gadget-Orange-interior/dp/B00CF5OHZ2

u/Zalbu · 2 pointsr/photography

Does anybody have any recommendations for a decently priced camera messenger bag? I'm going to go hiking soon and I was thinking about getting something like the Peak Design Camera Clip, but they're pretty expensive for what you're getting so I might as well just go with a regular bag.

I don't really care about looks, just that it's somewhat durable and easy to access your gear. I don't need a gigantic bag since I have a Sony A6000 with the 18-105 lens and will buy the Sigma 30mm and 55-210 down the line.

Does anybody have any experience with this?

u/Photo_Creator · 2 pointsr/photography

I just bought a DSLR too. This is what I got: AmazonBasics Large DSLR Gadget Bag Seems to work well. It has enough room for a couple of lenses and a flash.

u/zzuzz · 2 pointsr/magicTCG

I use an amazon DSLR bag and have gotten pretty pleased with the setup: https://smile.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Large-Gadget-Orange-interior/dp/B00CF5OHZ2/

http://imgur.com/a/ciyEb

Currently I have 2 EDH decks, 2 Standard decks, and my limited box in there, and there's room for 3 more standard sized boxes stacked on top of what you see in picture 2. Side pockets have dice on one side and another deckbox with tokens on the other, front flap holds pens, scoring pads, DCI card, and usually extra sleeves or whatever.

The limited box has 9 of each land sleeved up (I'm terrible at deckbuilding and can't afford to waste time sleeving lands) and 40 or so sleeves for the deck and a few sideboard cards.

The playmat tube attaches to the front (straps meant for a tripod), which is adequate at best. I wish it could strap down to the top instead, but it works well enough.

u/ProJokeExplainer · 2 pointsr/magicTCG

Amazon Basic camera bag. Holds about a dozen decks in ultra pro boxes, all the dice and counters i could ever need. It even has a strap on the bottom you could use for a playmat (I haven't bought one yet)

Best part? $20. http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Large-Gadget-Orange-interior/dp/B00CF5OHZ2/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1414302865&sr=8-2&keywords=amazon+basic+camera+bag

u/serion · 2 pointsr/NintendoSwitch

This is the one that was suggested before: https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Large-Gadget-Orange-interior/dp/B00CF5OHZ2 I only remember because I have the same one for a camera. I'm probably going to pick another up for my Switch. It is a nice bag and much cheaper than the Switch specific bags.

u/Spifferiferfied · 1 pointr/photography

Hello all. I recently got back from a vacation where I took a ton of pictures. I usually swapped between my [normal camera bag] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CF5OHZ2/) and a simple sling.

But I found myself wishing I had something a bit more in the middle. A small case for just my camera without all my gear, but still protecting it so I don't have to worry as much about it banging around a little bit.

I've been looking at this case from Timbuk2, does anyone have any thoughts on this one, or suggestions of another like it?

For a size comparison, I shoot with a D750. Most of the time I'm walking around with it I'll be using my 50mm, but my only other lens currently is a 24-85mm.

u/agentrandom · 1 pointr/Android

The Hasselblad Moto Mod got poor reviews. At least those that I read. The reality is that a DSLR or mirrorless camera can capture far superior photos due to a much larger sensor. To add that to a phone (addon or otherwise) means not only a lot of extra bulk and cost, but a bulky lens. You may as well be carrying a dedicated camera at that point.

It's not as bad as you may think. I travel a lot and all my camera gear fits into this small bag that doesn't take up much room in my hand luggage on flights. The total cost for a 35mm lens and budget DSLR for me was £300, though I also carry a 55-300mm telephoto lens for wildlife shots. The body, lenses, spare batteries and a GPS addon (budget DSLRs don't tend to have that) all fit into that bag. It may look bulky, but easily fits into even Wizz Air's small hand luggage allowance and leaves plenty of room. When walking around, it's just a small bag on my shoulder. Without the second lens, I could use a smaller bag still.

My Pixel has more smarts than my Nikon, but the DSLR can capture far superior images.

u/wolfcry0 · 1 pointr/PanasonicG7

I've been extremely impressed with this bag: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CF5OHZ2

Fits my GX85 with a lens on it, 2 extra lenses, full size flash and wireless links, misc filters and cables, and an extra wrist strap, with room left over.

The smaller size might be good if you just want to carry the camera and a lens.

u/Barking_at_the_Moon · 1 pointr/Beginning_Photography

I'm in your league as a big guy but have more gear to store/lug. Most of my shooting is sports/action or nature/macro stuff with the occasional family portrait at holidays. I'm definitely an amateur. For most of my shooting, I rely on four basic styles of totes:

  • I use a wrist strap. I don't own this particular one but something very similar. I don't much like neck straps - they're too loose when I'm moving to keep the camera secure and in the way when I'm not moving. When I first bought one of these, I was surprised at how often I used the plate/stand that attaches to the bottom of the camera.
  • For a single camera with an everyday lens: DSLR holster I don't own this particular one but something very similar.
  • For a little more gear but still small: DSLR gadget bag I own and use this bag.
  • For a day spent shooting: DSLR backpack I own and use this bag.

    I've got a couple of cross body sling packs that I've never liked - they always seem to be in the way or bouncing around - so they've ended up stuffed in a corner somewhere or holding the small bits of loose camera crap that seems to accumulate like dust bunnies.

    When/if you get to the point that you're hauling lights &c around, I've found that most of the time a simple (and long/huge) duffel bag is the easiest solution.

>The gimble, it appears to be VERY fragile, should I be concerned when making tight banking moves, and should I always keep the gimble lock on when transporting the drone?

-Yes, always lock it in while transporting. I feel like all it would take is one good drop or catching it on something while storing it and it could rip a cable or part off.

>I saw someone had a DJI app that showed them their flight time, like a data logger thing, it showed them their 'level' etc., (assuming its based on their stats), I can't seem to see this info anywhere within my app though?

  • http://forum.dji.com/thread-8216-1-1.html
  • http://forum.dji.com/thread-38789-1-1.html

    >What cases, other than the official DJI one, are you guys using?

  • I am highly considering this one, but still need to make sure all the measurements line up. It looks like it would hold everything from a fly more package: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CF5OHZ2/

    >Photo settings, again anyone have a good combination for these?

  • I've had great results with stock settings. All editing would be post, anyway.


    Going from a discovery to a Mavic, how ya like that left stick? LOL That's the hardest thing for me to get used to is not always controlling the throttle.
u/methinks2015 · 1 pointr/photography

I have D3300. I got an Amazon Basics camera bag, am pretty happy with it so far. And at $22 it's a pretty decent deal.

I usually put in the body with a lens on it, plus two other lenses, a flash, and a bunch of minor wires/accessories/filters/triggers etc.

u/EOrduna · 1 pointr/photography

I have the AmazonBasics DSLR Gadget Messenger Bag Large with Orange Interior

Upgraded from the Nikon bag I got free with my camera. The Amazon bag holds 3 yongnou flashes, cam body, 50mm 1.4g in the slots. Resting on top is another flash and rocket blower. In the compartments are 16spare AA batteries, rf-603 receivers, charger, cables and omni bounces.

Only use it to keep stuff together at home. Normaly just carry camera by itself

u/Pikmeir · 1 pointr/Panasonic_G80_G85

I've been using one of these bags for a couple years and it's been great. Holds a TON of stuff if I pack it (including my GorillaPod), or I can just put my G85 with the kit lens and some audio gear in it and call it a day.

u/tanstaafl90 · 1 pointr/AskPhotography

How much equipment are we talking, and what kind of use would you need? Is it going to on a hiking trip, or just walking around? I have one of these, it's a nice bag for walk around and limited equipment. I have this for hikes, and it does me well. This is something I'm looking at for both flying and general travel. Though I think in long term I may end up with several.

Link to camera bag I use:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CF5OHZ2/ref=twister_B00EN9Q35A?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Everything listed above fits in the main pouch, except the paper, pencil, pen and sleeves - I store these in the front.

Snacks go in the side pouches :D
