Nice video. You covered basically everything I bring. I ended up buying a cart on Amazon though and it's made my life 10x easier. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BUUUIGK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I also bring bug spray because I've been outside with bugs a few times and there's nothing more miserable than getting eaten alive when you're trying to focus on shooting.
A small power strip comes in handy so you can charge multiple devices at the same time.
Drinks were something I forgot only once.
Noticed you didn't have a light. I just got a smaller one and I loved it for my last shoot. Was an Aputure Amaran AL-F7.
We are going camping with our 1 year old for Memorial Day weekend camping this year so I'll be following this for other ideas! We are going with my coworker and all their friends (and their friend's friends) so there will be a huge group with us. But, here are the things that we plan on bringing!
- tent (my sister has a HUGE tent that she is letting us borrow) and footprint for underneath
- 1-2 Tarps for bad weather
- air mattress and pump
- pack and play w/ sheets and extra blankets/sleeping bags
- easy up canopy
- a head lamp (looks dorky but being able to do things hands free in the dark sounds great to me)
- a battery powered lantern
- tons and tons of clothes and different layers - Extra sweatshirts and extra socks
- a collapsible wagon like this one (Collapsible Wagon - Amazon)
- WIPES, all the wipes
- camping chairs
- Bug spray and sunscreen
- First aid kit with extra bandaids
- Extra batteries
We are also bringing a stroller because we are going to a festival in a nearby town. Otherwise, I wouldn't bring it.
I have this collapsible cart and can’t recommend it enough. I do have a car but have to park a long ways from my door and this has been my weekly hauler for a couple of years now.
Probably too long to take on transit when extended (but fine when collapsed). So, maybe best if your in walking distance or get an Uber/cab for your trip home with groceries.
I use a collapsible cart. I can easily fit it into my honda civic and then carry all my stuff to the line in a single trip.. I'm talking outdoor ranges.. It would work for some of the indoor ranges, but some of them don't have much room..

I can easily fit a few ammo cans worth of ammo in there, plus my range bag, gallon of water and 3-4 rifles easily. I've even tossed in a wooden crate worth of ammo and it holds it fine. It will hold upwards of 150 lbs, although I haven't gone that extreme with the weight.. I doubt I've cleared 100 lbs at once yet.
You didn't mention to/from where so...
This is what I use to get them from the house, to the vehicle and from the vehicle to the line. - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BUUUIGK It folds up to easily fit into my Honda and makes moving multiple items a breeze.
When I went out last time I had 4 rifles in soft cases, 2 50 .cal ammo cans, my range bag and 2 liters of water..
Without the wagon, I'd have to make multiple, annoying trips AND I'd end up leaving things unoccupied as I was making trips.
I got one of these that definitely saved me. It was for IC but had to make 2 trips up elevator and all the way down to the end of a hotel. They had multiple cases of water and soda etc

Wow thanks for the critiques and kind words.
Butter beer shot was way worse but I used some warp to try and help it - bride was a big Harry Potter fan and that was the only shot I have of that sign so I needed to salvage it.
I don’t use sliders and I prefer well composed static shots over unnecessary movements that serve no purpose. I like my cake shot. The dramatic lighting is what I appreciate about it.
As for the carousel, I definitely agree with you and I could’ve ended it with that first shot. But I also liked the final one with the bokehlicious lights in the background.
As for equipment, my 2nd shooter and I each have an A7S2 + A6500 so we had 4 cameras at our disposal. We use monopods most of the day and only use tripods for ceremony and formalities like speeches and dances. We both own the Aputure 120D and we use the fresnel attachment for that - this is how we achieve the lightning for our speeches and dances. We use a gimbal like everyone else but I try not to overdo it in the edit. My 2nd shooter likes to use a massive Atomos Ninja recorder just as a monitor.. for me, I absolutely love the SmallHD Focus - hands down the best purchase I made this year other than my Rokinon 85mm cine lens. We use Tascam DR-10L’s for officiant and groom, and we use either the Tascam DR-40 or Zoom H6 to tap into the church it DJ feed. Internal microphone on my A7S2 is broken but I bought the Rode Video Micro and it’s an amazing little shotgun mic. I have the Pro as well but it’s too bulky now that I own the Micro.
Finally, I have a folding wagon that we use to tow everything. THIS is actually the best investment I made this year. My back no longer hates me. https://www.amazon.com/Mac-Sports-Collapsible-Folding-Outdoor/dp/B00BUUUIGK
Just upgrade to a wagon or a collapsible cloth wagon and nobody will care. Does the same job and stores in the car/closet more easily than your stroller does. Handles better in terrain like beach sand or snow, carries your groceries with your kid, and in my opinion is a lot easier to manage than a stroller in front of you, tripping your toes.

I have a cart similar to this that I am going to bring:
Mac Sports Collapsible Folding Utility Wagon Garden Cart Shopping Beach Blue https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BUUUIGK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_UyBexbSC8TCT4
I bought my cart a couple of years ago and I have gotten a lot of use out of it. If there is something better suited for hauling gear between a parking lot and a camp ground, I don't know what it is.
- get some jugs for water -- I have 2 of the big water cooler ones.. they last about a day with 4 people. I also picked up a pump from Amazon for $10
- a wheel barrel, a cart.. something to get water ( https://www.amazon.ca/Sports-WTC-111-Outdoor-Utility-Wagon/dp/B00BUUUIGK/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1545976789&sr=8-3&keywords=utility+wagon ) thank me later
- chairs, you will want a place to sit
- camelbak.. or really any hydration pack.. you will need water its hot as the sun and carying a waterbottle isn't always fun.
- tarps for shade.. its hot as fuck
- zip ties.. get many and while your getting that get a roll or two of duct tape
- big ass nails to nail your tents down.. it gets windy I'm talking your going to loose your tent, and a guy half way across the farm will find it.
- ez-up tents are amazing.. shade is amazing.. I can't stress it enough how hot it can get. The river is amazing but I don't know about most people when i'm that burnt out I just want to relax.. and the river can be super cold so its hard to sit in there for 4-6hours strait.
- sun screen.. We had a lobster 2 years ago in our group.. much regret
- flashlight its dark when your stumbling home
- good walking shoes.. Flipflops are awesome but depending on where you drop your tent it can be a walk
- toilet paper -- you will thank me as you look over and go "oh no.."
- a cooler -- cold things are a godsend.. if you can do as follows
layer of dry ice, layer of ice cubes, layer of cardboard. good for a week
​
If you want a freezer, two layers of dry ice, cardboard. good for 5 - 7 days.
14) small first aid kit is also nice.. blisters, and small cuts can happen from stumbles or walking, etc -- Much more enjoyable to patch it up and not have a mess going on.. Not only that but the farm is dirty..
15) coffee -- nothing wakes you up in the morning like a nice fresh brew.
16) space blankets -- put em shiny side out on your tent this will keep the sun and heat out until 10~ if you come back at 3 or 4 am burnt out it gives you a couple precious hours of sleep you will need.
17) dust mask / bandana / something to filter out the fine poop particals.. And also be ready to enjoy the shamcough for a week after.
18) wet wipes.
19) Garbage Bags.. bring a bunch.. Please lease the farm as good or better than how you found it.
20) Cash, bring a bunch and tuck it away in your car / truck.. some where well hidden. The ATM's are always out of cash or have a crazy line.
​
I will update this as I think of more.. Any questions feel free to PM.
This will help. You can also use the Ikea blue bags

Protips to make groceries without a car easier:
Get you a wagon. https://www.amazon.com/Mac-Sports-Collapsible-Folding-Outdoor/dp/B00BUUUIGK This one folds up to save space! It doesn't help much with the stairs part, but it does mean you don't have to carry your groceries for several blocks.
Have you tried those fold up wagons? My mom got my SO one for when we go to the beach. Worked out pretty good imo.
I would suggest this collapsible wagon.

We got a wagon from Amazon and it works great. Our lab puppy is 10 weeks and 15 lbs so I can’t carry him, but he loves his wagon.
Would you mind finding a link to it? Might help out some people that could use this.
Or is this what you mean?
I have this collapsible wagon. Love it.
