The choice of equipment will greatly influence the end result. Bags are not endlessly extendable and shoulders cannot handle everything. We must make choices, sometimes difficult, but it's the price we pay to be independent with a small team in the field (no carriers). This page lays out the contents of our bags during a typical day of shooting in the field!
BODIES
Canon EOS 5D Mark II Canon EOS 1D Mark IV	Canon EOS 5D Mark II Canon EOS 7D	Two bodies for each of us is a good compromise. This allows us to quickly change the subject without having to constantly change the lense.
LENSES
Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5,6L IS USM Canon EF 500mm f/4L IS USM Canon EF Extender X1.4 II	Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L USM	Shooting both video and stills with the same camera has an immediate advantage: lense compatibility. Each lens we bring in the field is used alternately for video and photography.
STABILIZATION
Gitzo GT3541 Carbon 6X tripod Wimberley Sidekick Markins Q20 ballhead	Gitzo GT2530 Carbon 6x tripod Manfrotto video head 701HDV Pro IndiSLIDERmini	Essential tools to stabilize our equipment: the resistance of the Gitzo Tripod, the capacity of the Wimberley Sidekick to turn a 500mm into a feather, the lightness of the indieSliderMini and the versatility of the Manfrotto video head.

Equipement anti-pluie, talkie-walkie ou mini-panneau solaire s’avèrent terriblement utiles sur le terrain.
