Welcome to the Dolomites!

With endless landscapes, rolling mist, and beautiful sunrises, this really is a place that’s hard to believe exists. It’s the photographer’s dream location.

I had such an incredible time visiting the Dolomites and would absolutely love to head back.

I’ve recently realised how much footage I have from recent trips that I’ve not even touched yet, so as soon as I have the time, I’ll be putting together some edits to share with you all of this amazing place, and many others.

Which is your favourite scene in the video?
Mine is probably the light rays shining over the mountain top during sunrise at Alpe di Siusi.

Is this one of the best camera cages you can get?

kindly reached out to me after seeing my camera setup to see if their cage ecosystem would help out my workflow.

I’ve used a variety of camera equipment and accessories, and the Kondor Blue cages and accessories are some of the best-designed pieces of camera gear I’ve ever used.
If you go on their website, you can see full walkthroughs of their product designs and how flexible and modular they are. The attention to detail is incredible and that makes such a huge difference to your experience when using your camera.

They were kind enough to send out their Canon C80 cage, top handle, wing side handle, and V-mount plate for me to test out.

I’ve been using their cage system for the last month on my commercial video shoots, as well as content creation days, and it’s honestly made my workflow a breeze when on set.

The C80 top rod and V-mount plate especially mean I can top mount power on my camera rather than a bulky bottom-mounted rod system which can often get in the way when you need to be quick on set filming various things, especially when filming events.

I’ve used a variety of cage systems, and often cheap ones to get me by, but since using the Kondor Blue system, I can’t wait to keep building out my equipment with their system. It’s honestly been a huge improvement to my camera setup and workflow.

Their cages and accessories are designed to work with a variety of dedicated cameras, so if you’ve been looking to get a new cage or accessory for your camera and video setup, I’d highly recommend checking them out.

Disclaimer: Kondor Blue did send this out to me to review, but I am not being paid for this. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
