Nikon 1 V3 Walkabout Kit
My Nikon 1 V3 Walkabout Kit has changed a bit since upgrading to the V3. What’s in your bag; is it still small? Well, yes it still is. The bag has been changed to a very small Lowepro camera backpack. As you’ll see below, I’m carrying a few more items in the bag. On my walkabouts, I usually just carry the camera and one lens. By adding the 30-110mm lens, I don’t carry the big lens as much. Still, if the lens is the 70-300mm, I usually attach the sun sniper strap to the FT-1 and use it to carry the rig.
My Nikon 1 V3 walkabout kit contains: 1. Nikon 1 V3 Body 2. Nikon FT-1 Adapter 3. 1 VR 10-30mm f3.5-5.6 PD-Zoom 4. 1 VR 30-110mm f3.8-5.6 5. AFS 50mm f1.4G 6. AFS 70-300mm f4.5-5.6G IF-ED VR 7. Nikon Speedlight SB-N5 Flash 8. LitePanels MicroPro Hybrid 9. Sennheiser MKE 400 Directional Mic 10. Sun Sniper Shoulder Strap 11. Extra Nikon EN-EL15 Battery 12. Nikon MH-25 Charger 13. Extra SD Cards 14. Lens Cleaning Supplies 15. Headlamp with red & white light
The kit generally stays in my vehicle and rides almost everywhere with me. If I go on foot or for some other reason can not take the entire kit, I either carry the camera and lens or put it into my briefcase. Sure, my iPhone is much easier to carry and the image quality continues to get better. It just doesn’t capture images like the V3 and the 2.7 crop factor really increases the effective reach.
