I just got back from a week in Zion and honestly im just so frustrated with my current kit. I have this amazing EOS 5D Mark IV but my landscape shots look like trash because I was struggling with my gear the whole time. My cheap tripod literally seized up because of the sand and water in the Narrows and I ended up missing the golden hour glow because I couldnt get the damn thing level. Then I realized my cheap screw-on filters were giving me this horrible purple tint on the edges of my frames and I just wanted to throw the whole bag into the river. Its so annoying spending thousands on a body and then cheaping out on the stuff that actually makes the shot work. I have about 12 days before I head out to the Oregon coast for a workshop and I refuse to let this happen again. I need a real list of the essential landscape accessories that actually work with the 5D IV. Like what L-bracket is actually worth the money and wont block the side ports when Im trying to use a remote trigger? I also need a serious filter system recommendation because Im done with the cheap circular ones that jam. And what are you guys using for remote shutters? I tried the app on my phone but the connection kept dropping out in the middle of nowhere and it drove me crazy. I have a decent budget for this—maybe around $1500 to get fully sorted—because I just want things that work. Should I be looking at a specific glass brand for the 5D IV sensor? Also if anyone has a recommendation for a rugged bag that doesnt feel like a lead brick after three miles of hiking that would be great too. What are the absolute non-negotiables I need to buy right now so I dont ruin another trip? Im tired of fighting my gear instead of taking pictures...
