There are some nice images being posted by board members in this section of the forum, so I thought it would be interesting to see what gear everyone is using.

I will start off with my photography equipment (the 14-24 is with Nikon, having its service)....






Left to right:

- D800 + SB-700 flashgun
- Nikkor 35mm f/2D
- Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D
- Nikkor 85mm f/1.8G
- Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8
- Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 VRII

Nice thread idea! Not got much in the way of lenses (still only got the kit lens haha) but I've got a few other accessories.



You'll have to excuse the photo quality - took the photo with my old Fuji S4000 camera (which I was using before I got my Nikon).

Anyway, in the photo:
Nikon D3200 with the 18-55mm VR DX lens
Jessops 360AFD flashgun (mounted on top of the D3200)
SanDisk Extreme 45MB/s 16GB SD card (500 RAWs, 4hrs of 1080p 24 FPS video)
SanDisk Extreme 45MB/s 32GB SD card (1000 RAWs, 8hrs of 1080p 24 FPS video)
Nikon EN-EL14 Li-Ion batteries (x2)
Nikon ML-L3 infra-red remote shutter release
Nikon D3200 body cap
Generic brand 'handstrap' for the body (sometimes I use this strap, but usually I use the neckstrap which was included with the camera)
LowePro Nova 180 AW bag
Hahnel Triad 30 Lite tripod

I wish it was mine, but it's works, get to borrow it if I want which is awfully kind of them.

Canon 60D, 24-70L, 70-200 f/4, 50mm f/1.8, Sony Z5E, various Rode mics, mic booms and field recorders, matte box, rails, follow focus, Glidetrack slider/shoulder rig and the this bad boy! 16ft jib with remote pan/tilt head and field monitor, it's insane!

Good stuff Travis. :good: I want a battery grip, but Nikon don't make them for the D3200. :(

Better photos of my D3200 with the Nikkor 55-300 (since my mobile phone shots in my last post were pretty poor :p )

I'll need to purchase a film SLR like that next year if I do photography at college after year 11. Darkroom processing and using film is part of the syllabus. :D

I havent used it for years, last time i took a load of pictures with it they all sucked haha.

My Rode VideoMic Rycote arrived! Really impressed with the improved audio quality. Looking forward to recording some proper videos with it.

Here it is on the D3200 with the 18-55 kit lens:




And here it is on the D3200 with the 55-300:





Sorry for the photo quality, took them on my phone.

Nice! I've got the VideoMic Pro, Rode are by far the best in terms of audio quality!

Ah cool! I'm a bit too poor for the pro, lol. :p

Would you recommend getting a dead cat? How much difference does it make?

I've tested out my mic (recording some video with it tonight actually) and there is a big difference between it and the onboard audio, which sounds like you're in a tin can most of the time, ;)

Does the VideoMic have -10db, 0db and +20db settings on it's preamp? If so, put it on +20db, it'll use the mic's preamp so the AGC in the camera will be much lower, resulting in less hiss and noise.

Yeah, definitely. It pretty much eliminates wind noise - so if you use it outdoors a lot I'd get one!

Did some recording with mine the other night, but the hotshoe is broken at the moment so I need to get a replacement.

Man, I need more stuff.

It's so hard to decide between a car or computer gear or camera gear.

1st world problems.

I got the 400mm 2.8 this week. It is a beast of a lens, very heavy indeed. The images that it produces are nothing short of stunning.
