Luxli Fiddle

“The Luxli Fiddle is a powerful lighting tool that gives the user complete control over the intensity and color of light for Low-level Landscape Lighting. The quality of the light is outstanding, and it can be easily modified with the nifty magnetic diffuser. The Luxli Conductor app allows the user to control multiple lights remotely, increasing their utility significantly. ”

Nikon Z 6

“The Nikon Z 6 is the best camera for night photography. The more I have used it, the more I like it. The Z 6 separates itself from other great night photography cameras by getting 1 to 2 stops better with cleaner ISOs. That is game-changing camera night photography. It means I can pretty much shoot in any dark sky condition, even with an f/4 lens, and come away with excellent image quality.”

Phottix Aion Universal Wireless Timer and Shutter Release

“Most night photographers struggle with the most basic requirement to make long exposures: an intervalometer. I believe I’ve found the solution: the Phottix Aion. After much testing and firsthand experience with many, many manufacturers’ intervalometers—both in my own photography and by playing with what people bring to workshops—I affirm that the Phottix Aion is the best intervalometer you can buy. ”

Coast FL75R Rechargeable Pure Beam Focusing Headlamp

“I never liked headlamps until I used this one. The FL75R is comfortable to wear and easy to operate. I mainly use it for the red lamp so I can see safely without ruining my night vision, but also like the focusable white beam for seeing far off in the dark.”

Acratech GPSS Ball Head

“The GPSS is the perfect match for your traveler style tripod. Made with the same durability as the GP, it has a smaller base so that when you invert your 180 legs they can wrap around the head. Invest in the lever clamp model—it is the ultimate in ensuring your camera remains locked into the ball head.”

Tether Tools Case Relay System

“The ultimate making sure your camera stays powered all night long! Choose the right connection to your specific camera, connect to the Case Relay, and then add any USB battery pack! Add the strapmore connection to keep it all organized and wrapped around your tripod. Set up your star stack or time-lapse and let it rip. Gabe is still trying to figure out how long it lasts, his last shoot started at 12am and he shut it off at 5am and there was still juice in the tank!”

Profoto Acute B2 + head + Magnum Reflector & Grid

“When I want 600 Ws of power, and a really gorgeous, controllable light, I pack this monster. When I got it, it was revolutionary in its small-ness. Nowadays, it is not as small as battery-powered flashes can be, but I still love it for architectural and portrait lighting at night. ”
