Lumix Camera Backpacking Commercial

I do commercial training videos with a relatively light LUMIX FZ2500 and either a wireless lavalier setup or a RODE videoMic, as well as  Manfrotto 128RC QR head, and I just needed something substantial, stable and center-braced. This is perfect. For stills, travel and lighter shoots I have other tripods, but this has already paid for itself in one client shoot, where I needed to move several groups in and out in front of the camera while the back ground remained absolutely static. Its a rock, or at least rock enough.

I use it to power a Lumix BGH1 camera.

This is the perfect camera take hiking or backpacking. Super pictures every time!

I bought this to protect a lumix camera of mine and it's perfect!

I sued this Gecko Dual-Suction Camera Mount on a shoot for a commercial. I attached it to an quick adjusting camera dolly. The dolly was made with the clear acrylic top. The setup was very professional looking. The shots came out smooth and the camera was VERY secure.

A must on any commercial shoot

Perfect battery for my LUMIX camera. Works as good as the LUMIX battery, but less than half the price!

I bought this for a backpacking trip because my capture clip really drags on my shoulder over longer hikes. My camera was balanced and accessible from my chest strap (fits on the chest strap of a backpacking pack and the waist strap of a day pack). The carabiners are a little too small to get on/off the strap easily, but that may be intentional because if you absent-mindedly unclip your pack, the pod cannot pass over the plastic clip meaning your camera can't slide off onto the ground. It didn't get wet but I had it at camp for days with some desiccant packets inside and never had humidity issues. The large just fits my Nikon Z6 and 24-200mm lens *with* the lens hood on. I also had a hand strap attached which made the camera easy to grab and pull out of the bag. It's also great for when you need to put your camera into your pack - it's lightly padded and I'm hopeful the water resistance is legit because I've had hydration bladders leak on multiple occasions. It's well thought out and multifunctional, I'm pleased with it.

I've been using CC for a few years, and like it a lot for backpacking, hiking, rock climbing, and biking. I really like how it distributes the weight, and keeps the camera stable, but also safe during active movement. This new vest is more easily adjustable. It also uses a new hub, which is backwards computable with other CC holsters and such, however, the old hub does not work with this vest. I found that out when dashing out without changing my hub when I received the new vest :). I also use CC's adapter plate, so I can use the hub and tripod head at the same time. All in all, its a nice solution. If I'm just wandering around town, however, I tend not to dock my camera with a cc, and just use a standard strap over my neck/torso. The hub/plate does have a connection for a sling strap if that is your preference.
