Whether you're a seasoned photographer or just starting out, photos and videos in cold weather require the right gear. In this video, I share my 5 essential items for cold-weather photography or videography. 1. Shammy Cloths: Learn why a simple piece of shammy can be your best friend for keeping your gear dry and lenses clear in snowy conditions. 2. Hot Liquids: Discover the importance of staying warm from the inside out with hot beverages to fuel your creativity (and prevent hypothermia.) 3. Glove Liners: Find out why glove liners are essential and better than fingerless mittens or gloves. 4. Spare Batteries: Don't let the cold drain your camera's power – keep spare batteries warm and ready to ensure you never miss a shot. 5. Extra Layers: Always have a backup and stay adaptable with this tip. Get ready to elevate your winter photography or videography with these essential gear tips! I've put the Peak Designs capture clip to the test for FOUR YEARS! Would I still buy it now? I'll tell you what I like and what I don't like about it. One of the best camera equipment (video of photo) purchases I've ever made was this set of three Rokinon prime cine lenses. They came in a package with the Sony VG900, what I thought would be a game-changing full-frame camcorder with interchangeable lenses. The whole package cost about $4,000. That was a big deal at the time! The camera did not turn out to be a game changer, but the lenses did.
