Manfrotto 410 Junior Geared Head - Supports 11 lbs (5kg)

When precision is paramount, the Manfrotto Junior Geared Head is unmatched. It is slightly slower to use then a ball head, but the payoff is incredible. The three way pan-tilt offers precise control in each axis allowing for individual adjustments. This head makes fine tuning your compositions effortless

Acratech GP Ball Head

For years I have used pan-tilt heads. Once I found Acratech, I completely switched over. A great company that makes extremely high-quality products. I donโ€™t know how I worked without for so long. Invest in the lever clamp modelโ€”it is the ultimate in ensuring your camera remains locked into the ball head.

Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.4G Lens

The nifty fifty. Can live without it. A fast all purpose lens.

I love making images with this lens. Iโ€™ve owned two, dropped one (grin). I started experimenting with near focusing at wide aperture and doing long exposures. Nice bokeh. Like.

— Tim
This lens doesnโ€™t come off my D750 โ€“ so sharp, fast, and fills the frame with all my night needs.

Vello Bubble Levels

I always have at least one of these in my bag. The built in level in most cameras is not as accurate as these simple spirit levels that fit into the hotshoe of your camera. I like the 3 axis the best - any way you look at it you can match up a level.
