Videos made today using a DSLR or mirrorless device have nothing to envy to professional cameras. But if you put together more complete video equipment, you will be able to improve the final results on your achievements much more. Become a real director and start filming like a professional! Here are our tips!

A large capacity memory card

As soon as you start shooting in high resolution, you will find that the memory card you use for photos does not have enough space or the right speed for these formats. When we talk about basic accessories to get you started in video, we first think of microphones or LED torches, but we remind you here that you must also carefully select accessories as essential as a memory card. Take a class 10 minimum, with a large capacity and which is of course compatible with your model of device or camera. With a faster and more powerful card, you will be able to shoot high quality videos without any hassle.

A power grip or spare batteries: never run out of energy

Finding yourself short of energy, this happens very often with video since the camera, which works longer, therefore consumes more energy. Don’t let that happen again and get yourself a power grip that will double the autonomy of your device. Or longer achievements, without worrying about the remaining energy level.

Grips or power handles are essential accessories for both video and photography. And as long as you plan ahead, it’s not a luxury to also be able to count on one or two spare batteries, as well as a charger, in your equipment.

Video bag: use it to store all the basic accessories to get started in the video

And after seeing these basic accessories to get you started in the video, you must be wondering, “and where do I put all this gear?” This is where the tenth and final accessory in this selection comes in: an essential product to get you started in video is a good video bag.

Look for a bag that protects all your gear well, while still allowing you to carry everything you need. You might not all fit in one bag, but you can always look at different ways to organize your gear. With a bag for camera or cine lenses, and another for lighting equipment, for example. What is important is that your video equipment is well protected since your achievements will take you to different places, you will travel a lot, with all the risks that this entails.

Light modifiers: produce various effects

It is the ability to modify light to create different effects and different atmospheres that we also recognize the great filmmakers. Whether you make a simple video a priori or not, it is the use of an accessory for your torch, such as a softbox window or a reflector, which will give this professional rendering to your films. And also don’t forget to get a corrective gel kit to find the right white balance.
