Photo / Video Builder — Setup Gear Guide

Pick parts and the engine checks every pairing live — sockets, mounts, quick-releases, clearances — from sourced specs. Verified conflicts block; missing data says "couldn't verify" instead of guessing. Start from a preset, take the quiz, or build from scratch, then save to get a share link.
