More and more photographers are choosing to shoot video alongside stills as they explore the amazing movie-making features that today’s cameras offer. With 4K video, Log profiles and headphone/ microphone ports found on even the most modestly priced cameras, it’s no wonder photographers are seeing the potential in video; whether it be at a beginner level to capture footage of the family, or more-professional shooters who want to offer video services alongside their stills imagery.

Whatever level you’re at, there are several must-have accessories out there that can make a huge difference to not only the way you capture video but also the quality of the footage you end up with.

For this feature, we’ve shortlisted a range of accessories that cover different jobs you’ll encounter when shooting video. The great news is that the majority of this kit doesn’t cost the earth, but will add huge value to your workflow and make capturing quality footage even easier.
