Unless used cardellinis are usually over $50, the Bogen super clamp with the removeable spud is under $50 and a necessity in any grip bag! Actually a grip bag/grip accessory video might not be a bad idea.
What's the XLR to 3.5 mm converter and complete part list for its set up. I'm trying to find one with a compact 3.5 malr out that I can plug into a wireless transmitter like you have. Form my search they're all female not male.
Normally when I see these lists they're full of cheaply built crap with dubious usability. This list is different. This list is golden. I'm purchasing at least 3 of the items on this list. Thanks Caleb! You rock!
Golden indeed, ordered a couple of those light stands before the video even ended! And an OM 50 plus a Fuji adapter were under $50 together, cheers Caleb for such a great list!!
Every time I see you uploaded a new video, Christmas just so happens to come early that day! Love your content, and you will always be one of the OGs from the many film TH-cam channels that pop up almost on the daily! Quality over Quantity I'd like to say 👍👍
That idea to plug a condenser mic straight into a wireless transmitter (+ recorder) is such simple genius, and would have saved me on two shoots recently. Also for anyone struggling to find that exact adapter, I eventually found that searching for an XLR to 3.5mm *converter* is the key phrase.
Do you have a link for that? I have a Rode NTG4+ and I have struggled to get the signal into my DSLRs. I read recently that because the Rode is balanced mono, sending it directly into unbalanced stereo would sound awful anyway? I'm imagining Caleb wouldn't be suggesting this if it did though?
@@solutionboytv About your stereo/mono problem, this is fixable if you just convert the track with the camera audio to a mono track in post. That will convert it back to the microphones output format.
Great list as always. I might have to snatch one of those camera bags for an upcoming trip, seems like it could be a great fit to mix clothing and gear in-one
Among many quality creations from you, this is one of the most useful one. Lots to learn, lots to discover, lots to spend on but wisely ! Thank you, and many thanks to the contributing folks as well !
Thanks for this list! There are quite a few valuable treasures in this trove, especially that super compact lumecube stand. I picked up a couple Ambitful light wands this week and was trying to figure out the most minimal way to carry and set them up when not having someone else working with me.
I love these lists. Last Christmas I gave the 20 dollar list to my friends and family and I got more gear in a single season than I ever have before. It was a lot of fun to get so many little useful gifts.
Great list and video! That battery charging case especially caught my attention, definitely will be checking it out. Regarding that small Vijim light: be careful not to charge it while in use. I had a bigger version of it (VL196) that melted the body and became unusable (couldn't turn it off because the power button got stuck on the warped body) just because it was charging while in use and inside a makeshift diffuser for just a couple of hours. Returned it and got another one with an aluminum body instead.
That Wireless Go ii charger is exactly what I need! I can't tell you how annoying it is having to carry around cables and a big battery pack to charge them after a long shoot and the camera charger with the SD card holder is something I might have to invest in too!
Amazing to see that lens on a list again. I got one back when you made your first video on it. That was the first lens I ever bought as an upgrade from a kit lens, still have it!
The Xvive is great (I have one and use it frequently), but it should be noted that not every XLR mic will fit in it. The opening for the mic "ring"... outer circle of the mic... is narrow, so many professional mics are too thick. It won't take my AudioTechnica AT897 or sE8, but will take my DPA and Oktava.
I wish they would make a camera bag with a hard compartment with internal padding for camera and lenses. Basically just adding a rigid shell around the overall padded area. It would be good to also have such a compartment for a laptop as well. Hard outer shell with internal padding.
The first item has a similar product from Andoer, which I ordered a small while ago. They are probably the same product/build quality and I really like them so far!
Also had that Rode Powerbank Case, was annoying to charge because whenever i had the mics and receiver put in while charging the case i had to remeber to shut of the charging for the mics otherwise it would take a couple of days to fully charge
Fantastic list. Those stands are amazing. I've been wanting some modern, compact and lightweight that can go up to at least 8" so that came TV light stand looks perfect ❤️🔥 The portable xlr phantom power seems great too especially paired with the wireless go
Nice video! I am a video assist operator and I use a triple-header for my teradek/servpro/router rigs. Extremely useful. Shooting in some muddy forest or don't have a lot of space? No problem. Just take off the whole thing and mount it on a c-stand.
I’ll be honest with you, most of the time I find gear lists like this to be totally useless as most items that fit into a price category are things you’d never use or would quickly replace or have dubious usefulness. In short, most of the time these lists are kinda worthless. And to a degree that is still true here. But even in saying that there are items in this list that would likely be useful for a long time that I didn’t know about, and the pricing does make sense for someone that is price sensitive. For me, that’s the ultra compact travel stand. I do a lot of doc work and frankly lights, even for interviews is oftentimes a non-starter in the field. But at that size and 14” that would allow the use of a small panel or multiple small panels to be used. The RODE wireless go battery charger/bank could be used by basically anyone that has that as a set and wants to have an easy/convenient way to travel with their kit. There were a few others that I think would legitimately useful like the multi-pin head - but suffice to say this exceeded expectations. Solid content.
I would love to buy a few of those "regular" light stands from B&H because the are way cheaper than Amazon and are tax free in my area, but B&H says it is a special order and could take 2-4 months to deliver...
These are really cool and I like when you show gear that's affordable and not too bad overall! The two stands have my attention, with the air cushion being something I didn't know I was looking for and the mini being really cool overall! I also like the battery charger case idea! Great video!
Did you know that the VJIM RGB LED Video Light is made by Ulanzi as well? I think they are even the original manufacturers. I was able to snatch a 48 dollar version of Aliexpress including some extra stuff like a ballhead and tripod for that money (came with).
6:44 I have this case. It's super versatile and useful. Picked it up when I read that my EOSR that I was getting wouldn't have had great battery life, and I have loved this purchase. Btw. The EOS R was taken on a shoot the other day. Took 2500 shots and it still had 1/4 battery with no swaps, soooo . Not bad
Beautiful! Another amazing video as always. Thanks for this. Randomly I’ve bought 2 of the VJim lights, although they were branded differently. I based my decision on some of your previous videos. They are superb! I just wanted some to hide in some lights (as you’ve shown) and am very happy with the result. The other items are really enlightening, love the 3 way stand and the XLR Phantom device. Where’s my wallet! Something else which probably should have been on here is your LUT kit, that’s also under 50 bucks. I’m going to it out on the A1 even though it may not be officially supported. I’ve seen that some of the other LUT packages that I’ve purchased (leeming etc) cover the likes of the A7S3 and A1 with the same LUT’s. Therefore will see how it goes 😁
Wow! The Olympus OM 50 1.8 was the first lens I had (on a Panasonic G5, not GH5, just G5) that caused me to think "fake (budget) filmmaking" was a legit possibility. I really loved having the aperture dial on the END of the lens, and the focus feel was great.
I've been on sets for almost 20 years and I hate air cushioned stands 😂 I want all stands to drop as fast as a c-stand so I can tear the set down faster; I might just be impatient at that point in the day.
I give you full permission and blessing to ignore this and all other gear videos. Seriously though man, stay strong! Saving and/or getting out of debt is so much more important and rewarding than buying gear!
@@dslrvideoshooter haha. I hadn’t even watched the video before commenting and it still rings true. Haha. I will save this as a favorite for a future purchase once I’m settled. Haha.
What would you add to this list? I'll go first and say a Matthellini clamp. Super versatile grip accessory!
Hey Caleb, would you recommend those came-tv stands for use in the field? Thinking of using them with an Aputure 120d ii and 120cm softbox.
you forgot to link the xlr to 3.5mm jack!
Unless used cardellinis are usually over $50, the Bogen super clamp with the removeable spud is under $50 and a necessity in any grip bag! Actually a grip bag/grip accessory video might not be a bad idea.

I'm trying to find one with a compact 3.5 malr out that I can plug into a wireless transmitter like you have. Form my search they're all female not male.
Would you get the 48 phantom power or Saramonic Smartrig 2?
I call these "What is Amazon about to sell out of because Caleb talked about it?" Good stuff!
Nice pfp

DUDE! Just bought the Phantom power attachment the other day and did not think about attaching a wireless rode transmitter to my 416!! You're a genius
Trying to get that old Mac to work at the end lol. I always appreciate how unique and budget friend your lists are. Great video as usual.
caleb recommends.. ope nevermind it’s sold out
Ha! Thanks man!
That Xvive Phantom power supply is awesome! I am about to review it!
7:05 people being recharged are always happy.
You are the only content creator that makes it 100% worth it to give time to. I watch 10 minutes and I save 100x.
Thank you Caleb.
That battery case caught my eye for sure
I Love this Format
Glad you're digging it!

Thanks so much sam!!! Means a lot!
I see a familiar item! thanks for the shout Caleb!
Thanks for sharing on Discord! Super handy.
You somehow read my mind with the phantom power adapter that is literally amazing thank you so much!
Love the look of that battery case and the baby pin extender!
Thanks Aram!!!

been searching for the exact plug/adapter, but have not been able to. any other advice than using the word "converter"? a link or product name?
That test shot at the end looked amazing. 2 tone Color coordination on point
Very useful information especially for me, a beginner of content creator. Lots of thanks.
Great list as always. I might have to snatch one of those camera bags for an upcoming trip, seems like it could be a great fit to mix clothing and gear in-one
Thanks Ben! Yeah I love bags that have multiple uses.
I have several double and triple headers.... LOVE THEm

I ordered the tiny light stand
super useful to increase production value in my future videos and finally hit 1k subs!

Wow! Thank you for the kind words and congrats!
That olympus lens was the first vintage lens I ever owned! Great recommendations
I NEED that triple header
Your videos are litreally like a soul treatment to me. Great list for once more! The little light stand definitaly caught my eye!
Hahaha! Wow. First time hearing that one 😂 so glad you enjoyed it.
Holy moly! Some solid options to choose from! I really enjoyed the phantom power provide, I think that will be the best option for me.
I have that Olympus lens, but the f1.4 model. It's beautiful and I would absolutely recommend it
Definitely gonna be checking some of this stuff out
Hey Caleb I'm looking forward to next monday :P
Those battery chargers & stand adapters will come in handy! Great video! Thank you! Excellent lighting when sitting at the vintage computer!
Very Nice! Interested in the bag. 😉
The Xvive is great (I have one and use it frequently), but it should be noted that not every XLR mic will fit in it.

DUDE! All awesome suggestions to stretch our filming dollar! TY
Mac Os 6.5 on an old SE, brings back a ton of memories from the 80's
Stellar list as always. Awesome affordable things I have not seen yet.
Big up on that Olympus lens! I’ve been using the Olympus Om50 for almost 10 years now across 6 different camera body upgrades. Love it!
Awesome. I'll buy them all.
I wish they would make a camera bag with a hard compartment with internal padding for camera and lenses. Basically just adding a rigid shell around the overall padded area. It would be good to also have such a compartment for a laptop as well. Hard outer shell with internal padding.

They are probably the same product/build quality and I really like them so far!
Wow, I have the Olympus 50mm Len’s sitting on my OM1, it’s been sitting on a book shelf gathering dust, might be time to breathe some light into it
I like your channel as you are always finding good gear at the right prices
Grate video . That B-roll with the vintage lens of you on the old mac.. idk just kinda funny to me.
Also had that Rode Powerbank Case, was annoying to charge because whenever i had the mics and receiver put in while charging the case i had to remeber to shut of the charging for the mics otherwise it would take a couple of days to fully charge
I've had my eye on that Rode charging case for a while. Now I'm definitely getting one.
dude that little rgb light is a beast... just got it in today... super great for macros, and i got it for like $42 shipped.
Fantastic list. Those stands are amazing. I've been wanting some modern, compact and lightweight that can go up to at least 8" so that came TV light stand looks perfect ❤️🔥
The portable xlr phantom power seems great too especially paired with the wireless go

3:45 What would happen if you daisy chain a couple of those together?
I got the sony version for the battery case, I love it!
You're like RandomFrankP but for videographers. Great video!
some really great finds in this one!
Good list and thank you
I have the same bag just in an other color. has been holding up greate for nearly 10 years now.

Always great contend. Thank you for sharing your finds.
Some nice ideas ! I suggest a review of the new DJI Mic (vs rode wireless II) for a next video !
Wow that rode kit charger is genius.. preordering via your link asap
Man this was a 10 out of 10 video (as always). I think I went to every single item on Amazon while watching and added them to my wish list 😅
Just used your link to get the Rode Wireless Go II charging case!

I hate these kinds of videos cause I know I'm going to buy something every time I watch one! lol
Great:) I have Fujinon Fujica X 50 1.6:) great lens
I know some good lamps under $50
had this VJIM RGB LED Video Light in my bookmarks for 6 months now, and btw on aliexpress it cost around 25 USD

Great video, thanks!
Just checked the Deity mike and it is ... $186 on Amazon !! (B&H is still under $50!)
Every time you do one of these I get excited. But my Visa card starts to tremble.
I would love that battery case.
Unfortunately they don't seem to be available in europe :(
Thanks - there goes my pocket money for the month! LOL
hi bud !! great stuff as always ... just one thing i have to say about your vids ... try to use a deesser. it is gonna help a ton
Sorry this is completely off topic, but do you still have a camera guide for the Sony A6300? Thanks!
