CAPTSEN

The hard shell is tougher than it looks — my Pocket, two filters and the cables all fit in one case. It has already survived three trips in the bottom of my backpack without a single scratch on the camera.

Snaps on with a solid click, and the grip actually feels like a camera instead of an add-on. The Bluetooth shutter means no more stretching my thumb across the screen to hit record.

One tripod for my Pocket, action cam and phone — the quick-release plates swap in seconds, and the legs feel machined rather than molded. Easily the best-value piece in my whole kit.

Cold shoes everywhere I need them — mic on top, light on the side, SSD on the back. My phone rig finally looks, and works, like a proper setup instead of a compromise.

Every cable, receiver and card finally has its own slot. I pack by the layout now, and nothing gets left behind on shoot days anymore.

The numbered slots make ND swaps fast even with cold fingers, and the padding keeps the glass spotless. A small thing that makes a huge difference out on location.
