Kindness and CES: A Behind-the-Scenes Look

Hey there, guys! It's Keaton here at CES, and I'm super excited to be sharing this behind-the-scenes look at what I've brought along for the show. As I'm currently filming on the back porch of our temporary home – which is essentially a house with multiple pools – I thought it'd be a great opportunity to give you guys a sneak peek into my gear.

I'm using my trusty SOOT's Electropack backpack, which has been my go-to for years. The blue and yellow colors are my favorite, so it was a natural fit. The camera you're seeing this shot on is the Canon 5D Mark III, which Matt really wanted, so I'm hoping it'll look great. My personal camera is the Canon 70D with an L lens on it, and I've also got the Road Video Mic Pro, a JOBY pod, and a battery grip to ensure we get high-quality video.

Inside the backpack, we have a basic battery pack that's 20,000 milliamps – essential for any show, as you can't get a signal and devices constantly use battery. This is a must-have for anyone who wants to stay connected and productive on the go. Next up is our trusty Logitech MX Performance Mouse, which I've had for five years now; it's practically like having a brother at this point.

We also have an iPhone dock, which I'm not too fond of the standard lightning cord – I prefer something more versatile. The Kingston SD card reader is another must-have, as we're shooting with the Canon 5D Mark III and need to be able to read compact flashes, normal SD cards, and micro SD cards.

Here's where things get really interesting. Inside the backpack, I've bought a bunch of batteries for both my Canon 5D Mark III and my 70D cameras – they all take the same LPL8 battery or LPE8 battery. Yes, you read that right – I bought 18 of these batteries just because I don't want to worry about when the camera dies. A multi-purpose charger is another essential item for traveling and navigating CES without outlets everywhere.

Now, rounding out our gear are some personal items that make this setup truly special. My trusty 2013 Retina Mac-book Pro is maxed out with specs and perfect for video editing – I've had it for quite a bit now, and you'll get to see any video from the show through it. I've also started using the BaronFig Notebook to write down every single video, which helps me memorize better, jot down notes, and keep track of my points.

Finally, we have a wall charger that's essential for this show – and one of the newest additions to my collection is the Boosted Board. This dual motor 1500-watt e-scooter is a game-changer; it goes 23 miles an hour and is a must-have for anyone who wants to experience CES like I am today. That's pretty much it for this video – if you guys enjoyed it, please drop a like and subscribe if you haven't already. Follow me on Snapchat and Twitter as well, where I'll be posting updates from the show.
