Packing Equipment

Hey there,

Fiesta checking in here for my first post. Wanted to update you guys on the tech side of things, what we are bringing in terms of equipment. I hope to also let you know how the equipment works out throughout the trip. This is what we are bringing:

Canon 7d

canon 50mm F1.8

canon 24mm F2.8

canon 28-135mm F3.5-5.6

ND 9 Filter

Polarizer Filter

Zoom H4n handy recorder

Kodak Play Sport

Flip Cam + underwater casing

Go Pro + helmet mount

Olympus 500 (still cam)

Monopod

Tripod

Shotgun mic

lavalier mic

umbrella light kit

I did a test with my flip cam yesterday on my bicycle and well... the positioning didn't work out. I placed it on the handlebars, so its really bumpy, you can check it out...

Anyway, 3 days til take off. Lots of kinks to work out, but we will get there...

Cape Argus Cycle Tour

Cycling training for the 68-mile Cape Argus cycling tour has officially begun.  I think the cartilage surrounding my kneecaps is quickly disappearing.  Spent Valentine's Day cuddling with a frozen bag of spinach.  Great idea, Fiesta.

Check out the official website of the cycle tour here.  3,000 foot elevation change in less than 7 hours...Ah, to youth!

Goal:  Turn footage from the tour into a spec commercial/music video along with other cycling footage collected during the trip.  Oh yeah, and to generally kick ass...that's a big one...

Peace,
