Adventure Photographer – Zoon Cronje
“Gearing up for an adventure shoot is in many ways like choosing your weapons before going into battle. ATGAT in military terms is known as ‘all the gear, all the time’ and choosing the right gear is already 80% of the battle. Needless to say that the choice of weaponry needs to be as tough and rugged as the battle itself. When it comes to my essential choice of equipment or ‘choice of weapons’, I opt for the lightweight yet powerful and bright range from Fenix.
We recently caught up with adventure photographer Zoon Cronje, asking him about why he chooses Fenix flashlights as his brand of choice.
“Gearing up for an adventure shoot is in many ways like choosing your weapons before going into battle. ATGAT in military terms is known as ‘all the gear, all the time’ and choosing the right gear is already 80% of the battle. Needless to say that the choice of weaponry needs to be as tough and rugged as the battle itself. When it comes to my essential choice of equipment or ‘choice of weapons’, I opt for the lightweight yet powerful and bright range from Fenix.
Having tested several of the flashlight ranges, I can recommend the Fenix brand with confidence. It’s adaptable to almost any conditions, it feels sturdy when carrying it in your hands and what’s more it’s robust, waterproof, impact resistant and crafted from aircraft-grade aluminium.
Probably the most versatile of the Fenix flashlights are the high-intensity TK Series models. Designed for use in “emergent and extreme environments,” it delivers a focused beam with an extensive and far-reaching range of illumination. This had me fascinated but after using it in the field I am sold!
What really works for me is the multiple brightness levels; offering energy-saving versatility, which you can control by the press of a button. One of the main features I really enjoy is the fact that Fenix sports a spot- and a flood beam in one, giving you a great range in application without compromising on power.
In addition to the obvious benefits it holds significant value when setting up shots. Whether that is for scouting a location, lighting up a subject or adding some flair to long exposure shots, it does the job!
Whether you work in law enforcement, search and rescue or you are just an avid outdoor sports enthusiast and adventure photographer like myself, the Felix’s line of lighting Illumination tools offers something for everyone”. ZoonCronje
