In most cases, there are a lot of bits and
pieces involved for something to function. This is especially and absolutely
true for a camera, analogue, digital cameras or SLRs, because it’s not just
about the body and the lens. Otherwise, if your cameras do not have all the
other things necessary for it to do its purpose, it will be incomplete. So,
take note as you find out what to purchase next for your photography needs.
Here are the top 5 must-have accessories for your cameras.
1. Tripod
Tripods are crucially important for your
cameras. If you want to take pictures in either low or high angles without your
photos being blurry (because your hands were too shaky to capture them), then a
tripod is your savior. A camera tripod also enables you to tilt your camera
upward and downward and pan right or left, and capture photos as sharp as you
want them to appear. Additionally, there are different kinds of tripods
depending on whether you have a digital
camera, or more professional ones such as DSLRs. But along with this
must-have, a ballhead is also important. It allows the camera to be firmly
attached to the tripod with adjustability options.
2. Camera Battery
A camera battery is another essential
camera accessory—a spare one, that is. When you ran out of juice shooting in a
place where there are no power sources available, you would really need spare
camera batteries. Whether you own point and shoot digital cameras, SLRs, or
D-SLRs, just change your camera and insert your spare camera batteries, and you
are ready to shoot again!
3. Camera Bag
We can all agree that this accessory should
really be on this list. Without a camera cases, your camera
will be exposed to things that may cause damage to it, as it does not have
anything to protect it with. Not only that, you would not have any place to put
all the other accessories you have. Your camera tripod, spare camera batteries,
and all the other essentials, you just can’t place them in any kind of bag.
This accessory also serves as an organizer for these things for your
convenience.
4. Cleaning Equipment
Proper maintenance of your camera is a
must. Without it, its performance will gradually deplete throughout the time of
usage. To keep your camera at best condition, cleaning it regularly will
greatly help. The cleaning equipment include: Lint free, anti-static,
micro-fibre dust cloth for your lenses and screens, a blower brush for dust
removal, pen brush to clean parts of the lens that are hard to reach, cleaning
fluid for grease and smear removal, lens tissues and swabs.
5. Photography Books and Manuals
A manual is already included in every
camera package. Digital cameras, SLR, D-SLRS, they all have them. These manuals
is purposed to answer your needs and inquiries about the camera. It also
mentions the accessories you would want to have such as those in this article
(camera tripods, camera batteries, cleaning equipment, etc). Without them, you
would not know how to operate your own gadget and may lead you to destroy it
accidentally. Photography books are also essentials if you really want to take
your cameras seriously, and more so professionally.
