Gear: What we are bringing

We get asked pretty frequently what gear we use for our videos.  Overtime, we’ve been updating and upgrading.  Right now we are packing for our first World Tour trip to Japan and China, so what to bring is on my mind. And also i’m procrastinating getting it all put into bags.  So I thought y’all might be interested in a list of the film and video equipment that we’re bringing along in order to make these videos happen.  I’m not mentioning clothes, that’s sort of an afterthought.
