Here are the things that I’m planning on getting int he next few weeks…

The LCDVF
This looks to be the best of the low cost LCD view finder attachments. I’m a little worried about the fact it uses magnets to attach to the camera body but I’m yet to read a report of anyone having an issue because of that.

JAG35 HDMI Monitor
This is a rebadged generic 7” HDMI monitor but it seems like a good buy for the money. Anything bigger than the 7D’s LCD has to be an improvement, right? Not sure how I’ll mount it to my 12” rails. Might have to splurge on some longer ones.

The Essential HDDSLR Shooting setup

I have my first professional video shoot with the Canon 7D coming up in about three weeks time. Which is not to say I haven’t shot video professionally before but I’m still nervous about stepping out with the 7D.

Do I go guerilla style and just take the camera and some lenses? Do I go all out and take everything but the kitchen sink? The more I look at my growing collection of 7D add-ons the more I think I don’t really need them.

So the question is: What HDDSLR equipment wouldn’t you leave home without? Do you take it all or is there a core setup that lets you handle whatever the shoot throws at you?

Let me know what you do….
