A number of folks have asked me about my Nikon 1 V1 Walkabout Kit. What’s in your bag; is it small? Well, yes it is. In fact, the bag isn’t even a camera bag; it’s a small, free shoulder bag from a Sandhill Crane convention. On my walkabouts, I usually just carry the camera and one lens. If lens is the 70-300mm, I usually attach the sun sniper strap to the FT-1 and use it to carry the rig. The rest of the kit 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. It just doesn’t capture images like the V1.
My Nikon 1 V1 walkabout kit contains:
1. Nikon 1 V1 Body 2. Nikon FT-1 Adapter 3. 1 VR 10-30mm f3.5-5.6 4. AFS 50mm f1.4G 5. AFS 70-300mm f4.5-5.6G IF-ED VR 6. Nikon Speedlight SB-N5 Flash 7. Sennheiser MKE 400 Directional Microphone 8. Sun Sniper Shoulder Strap 9. Extra Nikon EN-EL15 Battery & Nikon MH-25 Charger 10. Extra SD Cards 11. Lens Cleaning Supplies Note: In one of my posts, I said I would not buy the special Speedlight for the V1. Well, I found one on sale, so I broke down and bought it. It’s handy for just a little light at a family gathering. Find more Nikon 1 V1 and V3 experiences posted under IMHO.
