What speed SD card do I need to record 4K video?

An SD memory card for 4K video at 30fps will need to have a speed rating of V30, which can be found on the front of an SD card or in its product description. To record 4K video at 60fps, you will need an SD card with rating of V60 or higher. It is very important to get an SD card with the speeds required to record 4K video otherwise it will not record properly, with lost frames, data, and corrupt files.

How long can I store unopened 35mm film?

You'll see 35mm film has an expiration date on the package that will tell you when the film is best used by, which averages around two to three years depending on the brand and ISO of the film. However, this film expiration date is designed for the film to be stored at room temperature. The 35mm film can last much longer than the expiration date on the box if it is stored in a freezer or refrigerator. It is important to let cold film come to room temperature before shooting.

What size tripod do I need for a DSLR or mirrorless camera?

Most photography cameras weigh less than five pounds and thus are suitable to be placed on most tripods as long as you are not shooting with a large, heavy telephoto lens that will need extra stabilization. Even the smallest tripods will have a max load capacity of about 5 pounds, but be sure to check the tripod's product description to verify that it can hold the weight of your camera and any additional lenses.
