Additional equipment

• Camera power: here’s what I recommend (please don’t run on battery!): https://xangle.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360030891711

• USB Cables: we’ve been having a couple of issues in the past with the usb cables that come with the Canon cameras. In any case, you’ll want to use angled-connectors / high quality usb cables (shielded) as you’re going to have a lot of electronic components packed in a small area. We’ve been using Startech cables for a while and they are absolutely perfect. Choose the right side for the elbow angle (right angle for SL1, left angle for SL2): https://amzn.to/31tYACb. For the EOS-R, EOS-RP, G7x Mark III and G5x Mark II, a simple elbow adapter is enough. Full frame: https://amzn.to/31oEUPY, Powershot: https://amzn.to/31oL8iP
