Ben Staley: What I Brought to Africa — My Ultimate Adventure Filmmaking Kit

Featured Video Play Icon

Ben Staley, Emmy-winning Producer, Director, and Director of Photography, just got back from a 10-week video shoot in Africa.

As one of the world’s most well-traveled pros — when Ben talks about his clothing, tools, and camera gear — we suggest you take heed!

In this video, he discusses all of his Africa gear, including the early-model Simplr strap which adorns his beloved Leica M6. He’s been beating the crap out of it for years, all around the globe.

Over time, our straps have gotten even better — but if Ben’s old, road worn Simplr strap is any indication — they were pretty good to begin with. 😉
