Luxli Fiddle

The Luxli Fiddle is a powerful lighting tool that gives the user complete control over the intensity and color of light for Low-level Landscape Lighting. The quality of the light is outstanding, and it can be easily modified with the nifty magnetic diffuser. The Luxli Conductor app allows the user to control multiple lights remotely, increasing their utility significantly.

Luxli Viola

Bright when I need bright, dim when I need dim, and allows me to control color temperature with a precision I could have only dreamed of before. The Luxli Viola quite literally changed the kinds of night photographs I can create.

Nikon Z 6

The Nikon Z 6 is the best camera for night photography. The more I have used it, the more I like it. The Z 6 separates itself from other great night photography cameras by getting 1 to 2 stops better with cleaner ISOs. That is game-changing camera night photography. It means I can pretty much shoot in any dark sky condition, even with an f/4 lens, and come away with excellent image quality.

Coast G9 Inspection Beam Pocket Light

It’s tiny, uses a single AAA battery and has a relatively dim, fixed beam. And with a quick and easy hack it turns out to be perfectly suited for illuminating your camera or the inside of your bag without ruining your night vision.

Coast FL75R Rechargeable Pure Beam Focusing Headlamp

I never liked headlamps until I used this one. The FL75R is comfortable to wear and easy to operate. I mainly use it for the red lamp so I can see safely without ruining my night vision, but also like the focusable white beam for seeing far off in the dark.

Acratech GPSS Ball Head

The GPSS is the perfect match for your traveler style tripod. Made with the same durability as the GP, it has a smaller base so that when you invert your 180 legs they can wrap around the head. Invest in the lever clamp model—it is the ultimate in ensuring your camera remains locked into the ball head.

Irix 15mm f/2.4 lens

Affordable ultrawide-angle that doesn’t compromise image quality, in an impressively well-built housing.
— Lance
My go-to prime lens for shooting at night. I love that I can click into infinity without even having to look at the lens.

Peak Design Everyday Messenger

We absolutely love these messengers-style bags! You’ll be amazed what you can fit inside them and how well you stay organized…and stylish! We recommend the 15” version but if you have a smaller system the 13” is a nice option. Look for their backpacks, now on kickstarter, to be available to the masses in early 2017!

Tether Tools Case Relay System

The ultimate making sure your camera stays powered all night long! Choose the right connection to your specific camera, connect to the Case Relay, and then add any USB battery pack! Add the strapmore connection to keep it all organized and wrapped around your tripod. Set up your star stack or time-lapse and let it rip. Gabe is still trying to figure out how long it lasts, his last shoot started at 12am and he shut it off at 5am and there was still juice in the tank!
