Here’s everything you need to get started with the tubes!

1- Light painting Tubes:

If you are new to this, you can go with the starter kit (White and Orange tubes plus essential accessories). Check out also the DIY light painting tubes page if you’re looking to build the tubes by yourself.

2- Tube pouch / bag

Now available in 42” or 48” versions: https://lightpainting.store/collections/light-painting-tube-accessories/products/tubetribe-light-painting-bag

3- Flashlights

** NEW - I published my 2023 flashlight guide **

4- Batteries

Late 2019 brought up the 21700 batteries into sunshine and this changed the workflow! Two of my top flashlights are using this new battery size. It lasts longer, I really like this one

• 18650 - get it from lightpainting.store

• 21700 with micro-usb recharging connector - get it from lightpainting.store

• Battery charger: here’s the one that I’ve been using for about two years: Nitecore D4 Digicharge universal home/in-car battery charger.

  
  
  
  

5- Camera triggers

1. Yongnuo RF-603C II Wireless Flash Trigger Kit - Amazon - this is by far my favorite.

6- Tripods

I have a bunch of the following tripods. They all go very low and are very sturdy.

• Benro Tortoise Columnless Carbon Fibre Three Series Tripod - https://amzn.to/3E8dKBQ

• AOKA 15.7in/0.97lb Lightweight Compact Carbon Fiber Tripod - https://amzn.to/3AgcRWL

7- Other

These are not necessarily related to the tubes, but for my photography work in general, this is what I use every day:

• Lenses: No short answer on this one! I work with anything from 14mm to 85mm. Here’s a full video about lenses: youtu.be/ctj49RWOTFo

• Camera: I’m currently using a pair of Canon EOS R5 with non native lenses (24mm f1.4, 35mm f1.4, 85mm f1.4).
