Matty Graham is your guide to the top accessories that will help make a real difference<\/h2>\n<hr \/>\n<p>More and more photographers are choosing to shoot video alongside stills as they explore the amazing movie-making features that today\u2019s cameras offer. With 4K video, Log profiles and headphone\/microphone ports found on even the most modestly priced cameras, it\u2019s no wonder photographers are seeing the potential in video; whether it be at a beginner level to capture footage of the family, or more-professional shooters who want to offer video services alongside their stills imagery.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever level you\u2019re at, there are several must-have accessories out there that can make a huge difference to not only the way you capture video but also the quality of the footage you end up with. For this feature, we\u2019ve shortlisted a range of accessories that cover different jobs you\u2019ll encounter when shooting video.<\/p>\n<p>The great news is that the majority of this kit doesn\u2019t cost the earth, but will add huge value to your workflow and make capturing quality footage even easier.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Atomos Shinobi 5in monitor<\/h3>\n<p>l \u00a3288 l <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wexphotovideo.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.wexphotovideo.com<\/a><\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Shinobi-copy.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"157068 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Shinobi-copy.jpg\" alt=\"Atomos Shinobi 5in monitor\" width=\"712\" height=\"900\" \/><\/a>\n<p>Sometimes, the LCD or EVF on your camera won\u2019t be up to the job and so a monitor will provide a big display of your scene and can be used flipped around if you are vlogging. The Shinobi offers a 5in LCD, is lightweight so is perfect with lighter and smaller cameras, and offers a raft of advanced features, such as being able to store and display LUTs on screen.<\/p>\n<p>Connecting to the camera via an HDMI cable, you will need to stock up on batteries when on location, but if you are shooting indoors, there\u2019s a plugged power option, too.<\/p>\n<div class=\"squirrel_widget\" data-squirrel-id=\"6276767\" data-loaded=\"false\"><script src=\"https:\/\/squirrels.getsquirrel.co\/scripts\/f0b519eb9c531c4148a107edd09681ee.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Giottos Rocket Air Blower<\/h3>\n<p>l \u00a313.50 l <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wexphotovideo.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.wexphotovideo.com<\/a><\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/GIOTTOS-AIR-BLOWER.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"157067 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/GIOTTOS-AIR-BLOWER.jpg\" alt=\"Giottos Rocket Air Blower video accessories\" width=\"274\" height=\"900\" \/><\/a>\n<p>Capturing video out in the field means you\u2019ll be at the mercy of all the dust and debris flying in the wind.
