Areeb Mirza (YouTube Shorts) lists common mistakes videographers make and quick fixes: forgetting SD cards (carry spares/in-camera), not having charged batteries (use a charging station and spares), forgetting stands/lighting/gimbal/accessories (keep an inventory checklist), and a final reminder to give yourself enough time to prepare and double-check gear.
You will definitely make these mistakes as a videographer. Number one, Forgetting your SD cards. This is one of the most common ones which is easily avoidable. Just have an extra SD card as a backup in your bag or if your camera has a slot too, just have an SD card always in there. Not having charged batteries. Batteries are something you need to stay on top of. Have a charging station and always make sure you have some batteries ready to go. Number three. Now this one is kind of something we all have done and it's forgetting things on set or location. Whether it be stands, lighting, gimbal or some accessories, you might forget something. And to avoid this, just keep an inventory of the items you bring with you. Just have an inventory in your notes and whenever you leave, just double check it so you can make sure you don't leave anything behind. And this last point is kind of like a combination of all points, but just make sure you're ready to go. Give yourself enough time to leave so you can make sure you have all the right equipment necessary.
