| Posted: 15 Sep 2020 05:11 PM PDT What are the best little gear tips you've accumulated? I just reorganized my day-to-day gear (pics here: https://imgur.com/a/S4eohEP) and thought some of the little things I've figured out/picked up along the way might be of use to the community: Ranger beads: Basically a simple abacus. Mine counts to 49. Bottom set of beads is ones, top set is tens. Makes it super easy to count the number of shots I've taken. Hand sanitizer: COVID aside, we move plungers and toilet brushes, put seats down, and generally touch stuff. Eventually we touch something we wish we hadn't. Nite Ize Gear Ties: Grippy and bendable, you can hold a door, hold blinds up, secure a power bank to a tripod leg, whatever. Super Clamp on Tripod: the best way to not have to carry your tripod. 1¢ CamRanger Mini Holder: I always tether, but hanging the pouch is always a hassle, plus I worry about wrecking the USB port on my camera. Cut the plug off a basic phone cord, loop it and secure with a zip tie and plug into the ethernet port on the CamRanger. Carry a multi tool and hex tool: Something is going to break. Velcro everything: Line your cases with the loop side and put little pieces of hook side on your gear. Carry extra cords, power supplies and adapters. They're small, and a 'better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it' kind of thing. Have backups: I've had equipment fail on shoots, and nothing makes you look like more of a pro than switching to a backup without missing a beat. A-Clamps: Holds blinds, cords and curtains. Doubles as a small doorstop. Reorganize often: Maybe you thought you'd need that 70-300mm lens, but you haven't used it for months. Reorganize your case often to eliminate unused gear. Carry an orange road cone. This little thing has gone a long way with no parking streets in private neighborhoods. Also an Orange Vest: Sometimes you need to stand in the road, sometimes you just need to look official. Shoe Covers: Get the good ones, they're way less slippery than socks and cheaper than a slip and fall with camera gear. [link] [comments] |

| [Critique] Need some critique for my first 5 house Posted: 15 Sep 2020 11:16 AM PDT So shot 5 houses so far and think I am definitely getting better with shooting, quality, light, and fixing the photos with lightroom. I shoot for my parents and the latest house I shot, they think is the best. I want to start advertising and finding more clients. But what can I improve on and what do I do good at? My gear: EOS Rebel T6 EF-S, Canon EF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6, Neewer TT560 Flash https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ynIVWXYyyd0y_R1g8EYg9uy22eskjpjH?usp=sharing The last 6 are from the last house I shot [link] [comments] |
| Theta Z1 vs. Matterport camera Posted: 15 Sep 2020 03:05 AM PDT Can anyone tell me or possibly show examples of what results these two cameras yield when it comes to virtual tours and grabbing stills afterwards? Thanks in advance. I am hopefully about to start doing a bunch of these for a local broker, and he is going to purchase the camera. I am guessing the actual Matterpoint camera is better, but I am hoping to talk him into the Theta Z1 to save me time on each shoot. [link] [comments] |
