I do like to accessorize

The camera with its wood grip, square hood, and patterned strap, resting on a log.

Accessories

Tripod, spares, and the little bag of tools

I’ve fallen in love with K&F Concept. You can tell they put a lot of thought into their products. They’re great to use, and they seem to hold up well.

The tripod

K&F Concept 60 in carbon fiber travel tripod with 360° ball head

One leg unscrews and turns into a monopod. It’s just wonderful when things work like that.

At a glance
Height	About 60 in
Legs	Carbon fiber, one detaches as a monopod
Head	360° ball head with quick release plate
Rated load	8 kg
Spare plate	K&F Concept K-28 quick release plate. For long exposures I sometimes roll with two tripod mounts on.

On the camera

Always attached
Hood	Haoge LH-X13 square metal hood, on the 18-55
Eyecup	Soft silicone eyecup for the X-T30 II
Strap	Vintage-pattern vegan leather strap
Grip	Wood hand grip with 1/4 in screw holes on the side, so I can mount things to the side of the camera. The brand isn’t sold anymore.

On the bag

Clipped on
Camera clip	Peak Design Capture clip, on my backpack strap

In the bag

A little bag of tools, a small towel, an extra tripod mount, an extra lens cap, extra batteries and cables, extra memory cards, and a little blower for dust.

The named pieces
Blower	VSGO V-B012E camera cleaning blower
Cable release	Fotasy 100 cm mechanical cable release with bulb lock, for long exposures. I prefer it over the phone app 10 to 1.
Light	K&F Concept RGB video light, full color, 2500 to 9900K
Desiccant	A pack or two, always. See the bags.
