hey guys Brandon here CES is one of the biggest trips of the year for people in the tech space so what better way to kick it off than to show you guys the tools we use to cover it ton away lets you toggle it 16 different countries allowing you to browse the internet and use online services as if you're in a different country click now to learn more starting off with our biggest change for our show coverage the cameras we are using for CES we are using to a7s mark 2's which I did a full review of here as well as the recently released Sony FS 5 the reason we decided to go with the mark twos is because of their superb low-light performance thanks to Sony's fantastically engineered full-frame sensor when it comes to shows like CES packs or Computex lighting situations are varied and there is ZERO certainty to the situation you will be in the mark 2 gives us the peace of mind that no matter where we end up we will be able to get the shots we need to complete our videos moving on to audio we have two sony k1m modules for our a7 s mark 2's which gives us a solid audio solution without adding too much bulk to the overall setup each mark 2 is also fitted with its own cage to mount the module off to one side leaving room for other accessories to be attached for our actual mic solutions we have two sets of Sennheiser's a VX system which i did a full review of here the a VX for us has been an easy set up lightweight solution which is well suited for shows since the receiver does not require any other mounting besides being put into the modules XLR port within the AV x system will be using their standard hammer mics as well as a couple of wired hammer mics as backups for stabilization we have my usual Manfrotto mvh 500 monopod with our new addition being cyclers a CL carbon fiber tripod which is a very lightweight and sturdy set of sticks that will not be a burden to carry around on the show for lastly it insisted that he bring his men photo tripod which he'll be using in a rather interesting way with a flagpole strapped on his waist for ease of mobility lens choice was a fairly simple one since we wanted maximum versatility for the show floor we went with two Canon 24 to 105 millimeter f/4 lenses and thanks to the a7 s Mark twos low-light prowess using an f4 should be fairly reasonable in the environments we will be shooting in for the fs5 we chose to go with one of my favorite zoom lenses the Tama on 24 to 70 F 2.8 which gives the FS 5 an extra stop of light and a very similar zoom range that the Canon lenses relative to the a7 s to top it off all three lenses have in lens stabilization which will help when we choose to shoot handheld editing wise I decided to go with a slightly lighter notebook than previous use the msi ge62 2qf Apache Pro it sports a fifth generation Intel 5700 HQ clocked at 2.7 gigahertz 16 gigs of ram and a 970 m and for the first time on a work trip it actually fits in the laptop compartment of my backpack which is a huge plus for me last but not least we have our lighting setups which compose of a young duo LED light and a flashpoint 3:12 LED light to be used on any of the three cameras for when we need light on our hosts in very dim situations we also brought along one of my new favorite lights the Westcott flex which is a 10 by 10 inch flexible LED panel that is very easy to roll up and pack in a bag the Flex also has an inline dimmer giving us full control of the light output we will mainly be using the Flex in situations where we have a bit more time to setup for example this week's upcoming on location LAN show the Logitech G 633 headset features 7.1 Dolby surround sound thanks to Logitech Gaming software the headphones port 40 millimeter Pro G audio drivers accented on the outside by fully adjustable RGB lighting with custom tags as well as a well hidden cardio at boom mic you can pick these up on amazon now link in the video description below so that pretty much covers all the tools we use to deliver you guys the videos who will watch over the coming week oh and for anyone considering using any of these pieces of gear to make your own videos keep in mind that half your bag may just end up being batteries a lot of batteries so thank you guys watching if this video sucked you know what to do but if it was awesome get subscribed hit that like button or even consider supporting us directly by using our affinity code to shop at Amazon buying a cool t-shirt like this one or with a direct monthly contribution through the forum now that you're done doing all that stuff you're probably wondering what to watch next so click that little button in the top right hand corner to check out minuses seven gamers one CPU video how have you not watched that yet go watch it
