This is what is inside the backpack I use for video reporting and guerrilla filmmaking in the field.
Hover over the hotspots above to get more details about the bare essentials I pack with me when filming protests in Rome or filmmaking in Scottish glens.
Any bag put together for such purposes must be light, discreet and versatile enough to solve problems that will arise in the field.
Now if that is too much for you, then I would say that are the bare minimum essentials for any reporter's MOJO video 'go-bag':
USB Power bank - plus cables
Of course, for specific assignments or filming projects I will supplement my basic kit with special purpose tools like the ones shown in the slides below.
