FUJIFILM X-T4 Documentary Kit

The FUJIFILM X-T4 is extremely versatile when it comes to resolution and frame rates. Top it up with a stabilized sensor (IBIS) and fast reliable autofocus and you get a winner at an extremely affordable price.

The overall camera size and lightweight body make it a "no brainier" for run & gun assignments. The dedicated video menu and customizable buttons are easy to use too. The ISO sensitivity will allow decent filming also in lowlight situations and the supplied battery will allow an adequate filming time.

Last but not least, taking full advantage of the swiveled LCD screen and high-quality audio helps a lot in completing that attractive modestly priced camera package.

We all know that FUJIFILM is a respected lens manufacturer but let me share with you a little secret.

If you are in the market for a very compact versatile entry level zoom lens, then look no further. The FUJIFILM XC 15-45mm f/3.5-5.6 OIS PZ might prove to be your best friend. I've been touring the world filming with this lens and had nothing but pure joy.

Yes, it has its limitation (I wish it was a faster lens), but all in all, for the price, it is a great companion to the X-T4 camera, especially when filming outdoor.

It is only when traveling so much that it becomes so obvious that the availability of high quality small fluid video head is relatively limited.

The RRS FH-350 is one of those rare products that ticks some crucial points like flat Dovetail Base (Great for fast head exchange) and fluid movement. Together with the RRS TVC-34 carbon tripod legs this product offers high performance and a low wight.

The only downside, is the price. Not always easy to "swallow", but taking into consideration that a tripod is a long lasting purchase, maybe this deal is not so bad after all.

I used it all...(OK, almost)....And the product that stood above was always the Wireless GO by Rode.

The sound is rich and the transmitter receiver are easy to control. The newer Rode Wireless GO II 2-Person might be the logical purchase here for even greater audio flexibility but I'm yet to put my hands on this device.

The market is currently full of high quality modestly priced offerings but the one single light that I find myself truly impressed with is the GODOX ML60 (There are more light on my desk now from NANLITE and others, so stay tuned).

The GODOX ML60 is beautifully made. It is very small and powerful enough for what I need when filming on the go interviews and such. Equipped with a GODOX umbrella, I'm able to create nice soft looking images. Next on my list is to try the newer GODOX ML60Bi as it's offering even greater value for money by being a Bi-Color light (Daylight and "Tungsten").

Sometimes when filming while traveling this little extra movement can elevate the "production value" and this is exactly what the SMARTTA slider is perfect at doing.

Yes it is a bit loud so don't try using it when shooting an interview, but this little device has what is needed in order to move the camera left or right at a minimal cost and more importantly very compact packaging.

The 512GB Match Pack from Angelbird bundles two 256GB AV Pro MK2 UHS-II SDXC memory cards and takes advantage of the UHS-II bus to support sustained read speeds of up to 260 MB/s and sustained write speeds of 140 MB/s.

The high card capacity will support the need for filming in 10bit/400Mbps at All-Intra compression. We use Angelbird SD card with confidence and can recommend their quality and company service.

This revolutionary budgeted magnetic filter system from Freewell Includes a screw-on ring, and two different base Variable ND filters (which acts as a one-stop ND with or without Mist diffuser).

Furthermore, there are two different filters included in the set: ND 2-5 and 6-9 stops on one side, and CPL and CPL ND32 on the other. The entire system comes in different diameter sizes and very intuitive to use. It also adds that little extra softness to the image when and if needed. Currently available for preorder in Indiegogo (http://c5d.at/r8w)

The NEXTO DI NPS-10 is what I use when I'm on the road for backing up my material.

Just add one of NEXTO's approved SSD disks to the unit itself and enjoy the freedom of copying (And verifying) your material to an external unit WITHOUT the need of a computer. If I could enhance something about the way this device is working, it would be the ability to simultaneously backup up material to two SSDs...Otherwise, a very reliable reasonably priced device.
