All of the Essential Stuff That B&H Doesn't Sell
I have been a B&H customer since I was 8 years old. In fact, when I moved to New York City years ago, being able to head up to B&H whenever I needed was high on the list of things I was most excited about in my new home. I can't say I'm thrilled about the well publicized reports that B&H treats their employees like shit, but in New York City, B&H is often your only last minute option for semi-obscure pieces of kit that you needed yesterday for your shoot tomorrow. Often, these megastores fail to fully cater to niche sub-industries like digital techs and we are forced to seek our wares elsewhere. So without further ado, he are some essential pieces of kit that you won't find at your favorite local or online camera superstore (and where to find them).
Building The Ultimate Digi Tech Survival Kit
Digital techs are expected to be the Swiss Army knife of a photoshoot. We are the de facto go-to person when any technological issues arise, be they with computer, camera, or lighting equipment. wanted to make this list to help techs who are just starting to build their own kits, but a few of the items I carry may be a surprise to seasoned techs as well. If you're just starting out, it is by no means necessary to run out to B&H and Home Depot and buy all of this stuff right away. That said, there are definitely a few essential tools and accessories that you should think about carrying on every shoot. You might already have some of these items lying around, too.
