THE CAMERAS
Sony a7S iii
My main camera. I use it for all of my photographs and cinematic video.
DJI air 2s drone
Aerial footage always elevates a video… literally!
Sony ZV-1
With a flip out screen, this pocket-sized camera is perfect for vlogging.
DJI Osmo Pocket
This little gimbal takes great stabilized footage and is SO small it doesn’t even look like a camera.
go pro hero 9 black
An action camera is a must - you never know what adventure might spring up!
insta360 one x2
No need to worry about framing the shot right when you have a 360 degree view! LOVE this camera.
THE LENSES
sony 16-35mm f/2.8 gm
The ultimate travel and landscape lens. The ultra-wide end is great for tight spaces and the zoom end is nice for environmental portraits.
Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8
If I could recommend one lens for travel, this would be it. The focal range works for the majority of situations and the f/2.8 aperture helps with subject isolation and low light.
Sony 24mm f/1.4 gm
My go-to lens for whenever I want a wide frame with shallow depth of field (ie: filming in my studio). Also amazing for low light and astrophotography.
sony 35mm f/1.4 Gm
35mm is my favorite focal length for environmental portraits and the f/1.4 aperture is gorgeous.
Zeiss batis 85mm f/1.8
If you’re looking for dreamy photos and footage, look no further. This lens produces the most beautiful creamy background blur - it’s gonna make your jaw drop. Bonus: it’s stabilized AND weather sealed.
sony 70-200mm f/4
A good telephoto lens that isn’t going to break your back carrying it around in your bag all day.
sony 100-400mm gm
Are you going on a cruise? A wildlife tour? You’re gonna need a telephoto lens. I like this one because it zooms WAY in so you can capture a lot of detail.
THE BAGS
Wandrd prvke 31 backpack
For days where I want to carry a lot of gear, and it also doubles as my plane carry-on. The expandable roll top allows you to stuff extra things in it - a life saver!
peak design sling v2, 6l
Large enough to hold my Sony a7iii with a lens, plus an extra lens. Small enough to not feel burdensome.
ona bowery
Looking for an incognito camera bag? This stylish crossbody holds my Sony a7iii with a lens, plus an extra smaller lens.
ONA Bond street
The little sibling of the ONA Bowery bag. Holds my Sony a7iii with a lens attached.
THE ACCESSORIES
sony ecm-b1m shotgun mic
My in-studio microphone.
Rode videomicro
My travel microphone - it runs off the camera battery so you never need to worry about charging it.
peak design travel tripod
The design of this tripod is GENIUS and it folds up to the diameter of a water bottle.
manfrotto PIXI MINI tripod
A great mini tripod for vlogging or small tabletop setups.
polarpro variable nd filters
A must for the videographer. Keep your aperture wide open in bright light.
polarpro lens defender
You’ll toss all of your lens caps after trying this one, I promise. Rugged rubber that can’t get bumped off!
Zhiyun Weebill-s gimbal
Tired of stabilizing in post? Get a gimbal.
rx100 vii cage
My vlog camera has a mic jack… but nowhere to mount a mic. This fixes that.
