===== Gear =====
Memory cards. Put two of these in the XT-2/XT-3 and you won’t have to worry about running out of space. Here’s what I use: https://amzn.to/2N0Llpl. If you really don't want to worry about running out of space, get the 128 GB version. Also note as one of our viewers, Dennis van Mierlo, pointed out: "Set SD Card Slot setting to Sequential. By using two SD cards, you increase the storage capacity." Very good point there!!!
Best smartphone app to check location of sun: https://www.photoephemeris.com/ (I have no relationship with them -- I just put this link because it think it's a great app).
All the Jekyll Island and studio footage in this video was shot on the Fujifilm X-T3: https://amzn.to/34vncwH
Best non-Fujifilm camera I use for vlogging, some timelapse, and general background coverage: https://amzn.to/2PRvCei (Canon Powershot GX7)
A $11,500 very expensive time-lapse motion control system: https://camblock.com/. Don't buy this unless you have money to burn. Starting out, you are better off learning to use Final Cut Pro or Premier to add motion to your timelapse.
X2 6-Stop ND Filter: https://amzn.to/2ZbgNrg (make sure you choose your correct size!) These are great, but a bit on the more expensive side, filters. I used a 77mm but your needs might be different. Tiffen Filters: https://amzn.to/2ZpbBLJ
Tripod Sand Bag to stabilize tripod: https://amzn.to/340Puyy (don’t forget you need to get the sand! You can p/u some from home depot or whatever or use on location in a pinch)
LR Timelapse software: https://lrtimelapse.com/ (I have zero relationship with them and they have no idea I put this link here)
