9 Manfrotto XPro
11 Beachtek DXA- Micro Pro+ £229/$189
13 Hawk-Woods VL-MX8 £624/$1164 Hawk-Woods has batteries to suit all cameras and a range of ultra-small and compact V-Mount chargers, powering up cells simultaneously to get you going again quickly. We like the flagship VL- MX8, which is Hawk-Woods’ relatively compact V-Lock, eight-channel and semi- sequential charger. hawkwoods.co.uk 14 Aputure Light Storm 1200d Pro £3316/$3390 If you want a super-bright LED COB light, then Aputure’s LS 1200d Pro has 1200W of power. It comes with three Bowens-mount Hyper Reflectors included. With its Narrow Hyper Reflector, the 1200d Pro can output 83,100 lux at 3m/10ft. It’s a huge fixture, weighing in at 27.25kg/60.1lb in the case. aputure.com
four-section monopod
£199/$293 Manfrotto’s XPro is a four- section aluminium unit with a pro-quality fluid head on the top, plus Manfrotto’s Fluidtech base which helps with smooth pans and tilts – without having to reposition the base. There’s a quick-release plate on the head, and the legs use fast-adjusting levers. manfrotto.com 10 Canon RF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM £1480/$1399 The RF 100mm f/2.8L is Canon’s first macro RF optic, but also the first medium telephoto macro lens with a maximum magnification of 1.4x. The lens has a spherical aberration control ring which allows the bokeh’s appearance to be changed. It’s also useful as a medium-distance telephoto. canon.co.uk
Although Beachtek has recently revealed its new flagship XLR adapter called the DXA-Max, this means the DXA-Micro Pro+ offers even better value. It connects any kind of mic to just about any camera, which is especially useful for mirrorless and DSLRs that do not feature XLR inputs or user-adjustable, multi-channel audio. beachtek.com 12 Sennheiser MKE 200 mic £86/$100 The compact and seriously lightweight Sennheiser MKE 200 has a directional capsule, built-in windscreen and shock mount to keep your recordings clear and free of vibrations from the camera. It’s compatible with camera or phone, too. A stylish solution, it doesn’t even need batteries to run and comes with a pouch. sennheiser.com
