Hi all,
Over the years I have found that I have several little camera gadgets that I just couldn't live without. If you had to choose your top 3 camera gadgets/accessories/equipment what would they be and why?

My 3 are;

1) My lensPen Kit, So many times have these saved the day getting stubborn fingermarks off my camera screens and lenses or for brushing dust etc from memory cards thanks to the antistatic brushes.

2) My Cineroid EVF-4C, It is an absolute godsend when working in bright /sunny or really dark situations. It allows you to magnify your image so you can get a nicer focus and due to it being HD it helps me get some great video shots. Without it some of the work I have done just wouldn't of come out well at all.

3) Last but by no means least, my British Military field pack in MTP. This will carry any camera I own be it a large camera body or a small one along with a telephoto lens attached, at the moment I have my 7D with canon 70-200 is II and it fits perfectly, it has two large removable pockets on the side and a couple inside for things like flashes, filters, cards etc and even better its an expandable bag which means if needed you can cram even more into it! In the past I have spent hundreds of £'s on lowepro and similar bags and have always had niggles with them but with this field pack I just cant fault it! I picked mine up for £50 and use it everyday without fear of my gear inside being damaged. Infact I actually have a spare one in new condition for sale if you PM for more details I will be happy to answer questions.

Diopter adjustment, otherwise it's point and hope.
 
The wee spirit level that fits in the hotshoe:)
 
My Billingham Hadley Pro, gets used nearly daily as a briefcase/laptop bag, and is my favourite camera bag too.

I thought I was being a bit extravagant buying such an expensive bag, but as I use it about 100 times for each time I use my tripod/head (which cost more) it was money well spent!
