GOOD GEAR

Here’s some gear I own and currently using a lot or just got and excited to use.

Amazon.com : Sametop Backpack Strap Mount Quick Clip Mount Compatible with Gopro Hero

I just got this to mount my GoPro to my backpack or messenger bag strap. I expect I will be using this often.

Amazon.com: Nite Ize DoohicKey Key Chain Multi Tool, Stainless Steel 5-in-1 Multi Tool With Bottle Opener + Carabiner Clip, Stainless Steel: Home Improvement
This thing is with me all the time. Great flathead screwdriver for attaching or detaching tripod plates to cameras.

GOOD MUSIC

Listening to Moby’s new album. My 15-year-old daughter says, “This is some good bop.”

GOOD TOOLS

FX Gradient – aescripts + aeplugins – aescripts.com — Finally a tool that makes creating gradients in After Effects easier. I always am frustrated by how hard it was to make nice color gradients.

Amazon.com : Manfrotto 166 Utility Apron — Just got this to keep power adapters and such in with certain camera rigs I run in some situations.
