The Sony a6300 is even better and the new a6500 better still. The reason that I recommend the Sony mirrorless cameras is because they are small, lightweight, easy to use, and produce an unbelievably sharp image with tons of dynamic range.Ĭurrently, I am using a Sony a6000, and before that, a Sony NEX 6. Regardless of what camera you choose to use, however, you really just need something that allows you to get out there and take pictures that hopefully give you a good enough file to do what you want with them, whether it be to print, sell, or just share with friends. There are obviously tons of options out there and I’ve looked through many of them and weighed all of the options and I am very easily able to recommend the Sony mirrorless cameras. While everything else on this page is somewhat optional, if you want to take any sort of picture, the first thing that you need is a camera. My Recommendation: Sony Mirrorless Cameras The price, however, might make these small things worth it for you.Īs for tripod heads, I generally recommend that you get an arca swiss ball head rather than manfrotto, and then it works on the Peak Design clips easily that I recommend below as well! A tripod in this price range, however, won’t be perfect and I’ve heard some complaints about feet falling off (and having to be glued on to get them to stay) and the rubber grips on the legs slipping when you try to unlock and lock the legs, making it hard to tighten or loosen the legs. As far as I know, they are sold exclusively through London Drugs, and although this might not be the first place that you would look for a tripod, they’re definitely worth looking at and are quite a bit cheaper than their competition. If you have access to a London Drugs, then you can pick up a Milano tripod. Sirui is another brand that I’ve never tried, but look to have good, affordable tipods.

I’ve never owned one myself but they look to be built well and have many of the features to look for in a tripod such as a lightweight, full height extension, good build quality, ball head, and small collapsible size. Promaster makes a solid tripod for a decent price (specifically the XC-522 tripod).

They have a couple of different models but with a bit of research you can be sure to find one that will fit your needs.

Three Legged Thing tripods are awesome and are what I would like to eventually upgrade to. If you’re willing to make the investment and want to make all of your friends jealous, then this is what to get. Really Right Stuff makes some of the best tripods on the market, but they also cost a lot. But, since buying it, I wouldn’t recommend it to even my worst enemy because it’s terrible, so instead I would recommend these options depending on your budget: The Best of the Best: Really Right Stuff I got a fairly cheap Giottos tripod when I was starting and I’m still using it. While they do cost a lot of money, you also don’t need the absolute best. Can you believe it!?Ī tripod is crucial for getting a lot of the pictures that I now find myself taking and it should be one of the first things that you look at getting. And everyone knows that an internet promise can’t be broken!įor the longest time, I only had one of those tiny bendy tripods from GorrilaPod because I didn’t want to buy a full sized tripod. I also promise that when I finally get my hands on some of these filters I will post a review of them. Then I would get the step rings that I need to be able to use the same filters across all of my different lenses. The other benefit of having filters larger than the thread diameter of your lens is that you don’t have to worry about getting a hard vignette from the edge of the filters. I would get them a size or two larger than my biggest lens so that I could still use them if I ever got a lens with a larger filter thread. If I was starting my filter collection from scratch, I would pick up an X4 Polarizer, and three X4 neutral density filters (3, 6 and 9 stop). So, although I don’t currently use Break Through Filters, after a lot of research this will definitely be what I upgrade to next. I made a mistake when I was buying filters for my camera and I got the cheapest that I could. My Recommendation: Break Through Photography
