What's in our bag? - CES 2016

The video opens with Brandon explaining that CES is one of the biggest tech shows of the year and that the team is detailing the exact gear they use to cover the event. He describes a flagship camera setup featuring two Sony A7S II bodies paired with the Sony FS5 to handle varied lighting conditions on the showroom floor. The audio chain is outlined next, with two Sennheiser AVX kits and wired backups, each camera mounted in its own protective cage to support quick repositioning and stability. Stabilization and lenses are highlighted, including Manfrotto MVH500 monopods, Sackler carbon fiber tripods, and Canon 24-105mm f/4 lenses for flexible on-the-go shooting, plus Tamron 24-70mm f/2.8 on the FS5 for better low-light performance. They also mention on-camera lighting options, such as Yongnuo and Flashpoint LED panels, and the Westcott Flex for more controlled setups, noting that the Flex is foldable and dimmable for fast deployment. In terms of on-location workflow, a lighter MSI GE62 2QF Apache Pro notebook is used for editing during travel, and the team reminds viewers that a large portion of the bag is batteries. The segment wraps with practical tips, sponsorship notes, and a teaser to watch Linus’ seven gamers one CPU video, while encouraging viewers to subscribe and engage with affiliate links and merchandise. The overall takeaway is a compact, well-organized kit list that prioritizes low-light capability, modularity, and efficient setup for intense CES shooting conditions.
