Video Gear: Cowa Bungee!

Just what do I mean by Cowa Bungee? I have no clue, but it’s not about me bungee jumping although I’m going zip lining in Costa Rick this week. Just watch my REALLY short little snippet on video gear you’ll want to pack with you when you go on a shoot and you’ll see what I mean.

It’s a simple tip but having these on hand will help in many circumstances. Sometimes it is the low tech stuff that will trip you up on a shoot and a low tech solution may be just what you need. I’ve written about the value of gaffers tape, clips and baseball caps. Here’s another simple item that can save the day.

Video Battery Tip: Here’s My Trick To Keeping Your Batteries Ready For Shooting

Video camera batteries are a bit of an unwieldy necessity, especially on an outdoor shoot when you can’t plug into electricity. However, I’ve found a few tricks so I can keep them organized and ready to go to work for me.

In this video I share with you two important things:

• My trick for keeping track of them,
• My tip for knowing which ones are dead shoulders and which are ready for action.

 

Another important thing to remember about your video camera batteries is to keep them CHARGED and BRING them with you! You should also own and take more than one with you on the shoot. Nothing will kill a shoot faster than no power!
