I break down my compact gear kit (Sony FX3, Sigma 24-70, Tamron 17-28, Ulanzi travel tripod, SmallRig suction mount/magic arm/super clamp) plus why I use VND and VND/CPL filters for motion blur and glare control. I also share practical tips like filming at golden hour for cinematic lighting, turning off stabilization for locked-off shots, securing the camera for driving shots, showcasing car details, using a CPL for windshield reflections, and shooting around 40–50mm to avoid wide-angle distortion.
