The Details:
All three kits are attractive bundles that combine useful creative gear, saving creators money. Each level of Roadieographer bundle also caters to different budgets, and offers a different tripod and stabilization option. Let’s explore each item now, in depth.
All three Radiographer bundles offer the Benro Tourist 200 Weatherproof backpack in black, the Saramonic Vmic Mini Camera-Mountable Shotgun Microphone with windscreen and 3.5mm output cables, and the Saramonic Mobile Device Mount with cold shoe mount.
The Benro Tourist 200 Weatherproof backpack is a modern, unassuming day backpack that is made up of weather-resistant outer fabrics, but is finished with subtle details.
In addition to the top zipper opening and side stretch pockets, this pack also has a back zippered pocket that opens up to provide padded camera gear storage for a quick day shoot, and can hold up to one camera body, two lenses, and other small accessories comfortably. The Benro Tourist 200 is a great, small day pack with a modern, urban design, that makes it useful for any city or travel photographer.
The Saramonic Vmic Mini Camera-Mountable Shotgun Microphone is another item included in all three bundles. It comes with a fitted windscreen and 3.5mm output cables, providing a fantastic, portable, lightweight shotgun mic option for the run-and-gun content creator, who needs quality sound anywhere they create.
The Saramonic Mobile Device Mount is the last piece of gear included in all three bundles, and is a lightweight, steady, and reliable aluminum mount for a phone. This mobile device mount was built with a cold shoe mount, so creators can attach a light or mic, building an effective vlogging or live streaming setup. Creators also have the ability to attach this phone mount vertically or horizontally, for any video format they need.
Saramonic and Benro have added more tripod options depending on your Radiographer bundle of choice.
The base Radiographer bundle includes the Benro PP1 PocketPod Tabletop Tripod, which is great as a portable, tabletop option for your phone or small camera. The Pro Radiographer bundle takes it a step up, including the Benro Slim Travel Tripod, which is a fantastic, lightweight, aluminum travel tripod that can hold both mirrorless and DSLR setups, and even converts into a monopod for quick, stabilized on-the-go shooting. Finally, the top tier Ultimate Radiographer bundle adds the Benro 3XS Lite Mobile Gimbal, in addition to the Slim Travel Tripod, which offers a fantastic motorized gimbal that delivers professional sound, with the included SmartMic Mini Condenser Microphone that plugs into the gimbal directly. It’s a combo perfect for both cameras and mobile devices.
So, if you’re looking for a content creator bundle that includes essential items for creating content on-the-go or at home, the Saramonic Radiographer bundles are a fantastic option, with three versions built to cater any need or budget.
