In an earlier article<\/a>, I covered how you can fix footage in post-production<\/strong> that you captured on a whim.\u00a0With the current technology of many consumer mirrorless and DSLR cameras<\/strong>, you may always be able to capture high-quality footage, but you may not have the stabilizer you need. So let\u2019s have a look at how to be\u00a0prepared with portable\u00a0equipment whenever inspiration strikes.<\/p>\n The GorillaPod<\/a> is ideal for videographers on the go\u00a0who don’t want to carry a tripod. Of course, you won\u2019t get the height of a tripod, but with over two dozen leg joints<\/strong> and rubber foot grips<\/strong>, this stabilizer can attach to anything from city window grates to farmyard fences. The GorillaPod retails for $49.99; however, the pro version, the GorillaPod Focus<\/a> allows you to pan and tilt the camera, and it retails for $149<\/p>\n Pros<\/p>\n Cons<\/p>\n Wildlife photographers<\/strong> have used bean bags for decades, as they allow the photographer to maintain a low profile while capturing\u00a0animals. Bean bags are great if you’re hiking in the mountains or in a rocky region, as it will provide a lot more base support<\/strong> if you come across a landscape you’d like to film but don’t have a stable surface. Of course, you have to account for the extra weight the bean bag will add to your rucksack \u2014 most bean bags weigh about as much as a\u00a0DSLR and lens.<\/p>\n Pros<\/p>\n Cons<\/p>\n This is one of my favorite recommendations; it’s a product that has helped me get out of a pickle in quite a few circumstances.<\/p>\nGorillaPod by Joby<\/h3>\n
