Amsterdam Dance Event 2025 is coming up. Five days filled with music, light shows and creative energy. For videographers, photographers and content creators, ADE is the ultimate opportunity to capture the festival vibe. But how do you stay in control of light, sound and tempo in the middle of all that chaos? The key lies in good preparation and the right equipment. In this blog, you’ll discover which gear has already proven itself at major events like ADE and how you can achieve professional results effortlessly.
Master your lighting with the Profoto A10 AirTTL
Anyone who has ever tried shooting at a festival knows how challenging changing light can be. The Profoto A10 AirTTL is the perfect solution. This powerful yet compact flash delivers consistent, natural lighting even in the most dynamic conditions. Whether you’re shooting portraits backstage or capturing the crowd in motion, the A10 ensures professional results every time.
The flash is available for Sony, Canon, Nikon and Fujifilm and supports AirTTL, which automatically calculates the correct exposure. This saves you time and prevents overexposed or underexposed shots.
Pro tip: use the Profoto A10 off-camera with a Profoto Connect trigger for even more creative freedom during your shoots.
Crystal-clear audio in noisy environments with the Sennheiser MKE 440 Stereo Microphone
Great sound is just as important as great visuals. The Sennheiser MKE 440 Stereo Microphone is specially designed for environments with lots of background noise, like the Amsterdam Dance Event. Its unique dual mini-shotgun design captures exactly what’s in front of your camera while filtering out unwanted ambient noise.
Perfect for recording live performances, artist interviews or crowd atmosphere. The result is clean, full stereo sound that captures the true energy of the moment.
Pro tip: mount the microphone directly on your camera and test your audio levels beforehand. This way, you’ll avoid distortion when the bass drops and keep your sound crisp and professional.
Keep your pace steady with proper preparation
During events and festivals, timing is everything. Batteries run low, light conditions change constantly and there’s no time to fiddle with settings. That’s why preparation is key.
Create a shot list, double-check your audio settings and test your lighting setup in advance. This way, you’ll know exactly what to expect. Always bring spare batteries, memory cards and a backup microphone.
A well-prepared workflow ensures that during ADE you can focus on capturing the right moments instead of fixing technical issues.
