Working as a BTS shooter often means being "invisible" while capturing high-end results. In this video, I’m showing you exactly how to rig the Sigma FP for stealth BTS gigs, creating a compact, box-style setup that doesn't sacrifice professional functionality.
From the ultra-low-profile Excelsius Designs cage to the versatile Shimbol Memory 1 monitor, I break down every piece of gear I use to keep my footprint small on set. Plus, I share a critical professional tip on how to handle media and data liability so you can walk away from every gig protected.
