Product Testimonial:
"Having spoken to lots of pros and adventuring amateurs while planning 'London2London:via the World', one name came out as a must have for my tripods and clamps – I’m stoked to have Manfrotto on board with my next expedition.
"
Camera equipment:
"It’s all about being fast and light and robust - Canon 50D with a wide angle lens and lots of spare batteries. It forces you to be creative too."
Lighting Equipment:
"Away on expedition I need to travel fast and light, so I don’t carry anything extra for my photos and films – I just use my Petzl MYO RXP for film and the built in flash on my camera."
