Photography kit

  • A Sony mirrorless camera with a lens mount but no lens attached.

    SONY ILCE-7M4

    On paper it’s the perfect hybrid Full-Frame camera. Excellent Autofocus, it can shoot 33mp raw photos (just enough to crop in a bit) and can shoot 4K 24/30 in 10bit (prefered frame rates).

  • A wide-angle camera lens with a lens hood, zoom ring, focus ring, and a red 'G' logo, likely a Sony G Master lens.

    SONY 14mm F/1.8 GM

    Ultra Wide Prime, it was my least used lens, originally purchased to shoot vlogs, but I repurposed it by using it as my main lens for shooting in the XPAN aspect ratio and for astrophotography.

  • A Sony camera lens with manual focus and zoom rings, model G Master, with various setting markings and an E-mount interface.

    SONY 24mm F/1.4 GM

    “The Everyday Lens” it quickly became my most used focal length for documenting my personal life, the one I would choose if I was just hanging out, it’s the closest focal length to the main camera on every current smartphone, making it the easiest to shoot and adapt to.

  • A camera lens, black in color, labeled FE 1.4 35 GM with an aperture scale from 1.4 to 16, designed for Sony cameras.

    SONY 35mm F/1.4 GM

    “Bread & Butter Lens” My absolute favorite focal length, this would be the 1st of 4 lenses I own that cover this focal range. The perfect street lens, this is the one you use when you seek balance in your composition, wide but not too wide.

  • Sigma 35mm f/1.2 DG II camera lens with focus and aperture rings visible.

    SIGMA 35mm F/1.2 DG II

    Take the best focal length and make it better. That’s exactly what Sigma did, unfortunately Sony does not make a f/1.2 version of this nigh perfect lens. Everything about it is practically flawless.

  • A black Sony camera lens with various markings and an orange 'G' logo.

    SONY 50mm F/1.2 GM

    Take the most boring focal length, “The Nifty Fifty” and give it the best optics that lens engineers can create and you have this lens. The images I’ve captured with this lens are ethereal, and it will forever have a place in my camera bag

  • A professional camera lens with a black design, multiple focus and zoom rings, a focus hold button, and a Sony E-mount adapter.

    SONY 16mm-35mm F/2.8 GM II

    A great alternative to my 14mm when i don’t need the low light and don’t need to go as wide, the optics of this zoom are pretty much on par with any prime in this zoom range and covers my favorite focal lengths (24/28/35)

  • A black Sony G-series camera lens with various markings, focus and aperture controls, and a large glass front element.

    SONY 24mm-70mm F/2.8 GM II

    “The One & Done Lens” This is what most photographers would say should be the first lens you should purchase, as it cover all popular focal lengths, and I would agree, use it enough and eventually you’ll find which focal length you use the most which will help you choose your first prime lens afterwards. On the flip side, it’s also considered the most boring, I’ve owned and sold the first generation Sigma version of this lens, highly recommended.

  • A professional telephoto camera lens, white with black rings and markings, extension tube, and focus controls.

    SONY 70mm-200mm F/2.8 GM II

    Unless Sony or Sigma release an 85mm F/1.2, this is my go to lens if i want compression and background separation.

Filmmaking kit

  • Top view of a black Sony mirrorless camera showing various buttons and dials.

    ZV-E1

    Shares the same sensor as the FX3 but at a fraction of the cost, really wished it had a cfexpress type a instead of just an SD card slot, but not much to complain about, I don’t shoot for hours at a time, so I was never concerned about overheating.

  • A compact black DJI Action 4 camera with a large lens on the right, a small screen on the back, and control buttons on the top and side. The DJI logo is on the left side, and the model name "ACTION 4" is on the bottom right.

    DJI Action 4

    I got this for a really great deal, its currently 2 generations old, but I still haven’t been compelled buy any of the newer Action Cameras to upgrade. This is a great camera for POV videos.

  • A compact, foldable drone with multiple cameras and sensors, designed for aerial photography or videography.

    DJI Mini 3 Pro

    Bought this drone because it fell under 250g which made traveling with it a no brainer, unfortunately due to new laws and regulations domestically and abroad, I barely take it with me anywhere. I’ll probably upgrade once I get my Part 107 Certification.

  • A DJI microphone and accessories displayed inside a charging case.

    High Quality Wireless Microphones, perfect for vlogging and documenting

    Solo Traveler’s Best Friend. I have used and abused this tripod; having that lifetime warranty does give you true peace of mind when purchasing a product this expensive, although i wished it was lighter, the form factor ultimately earned its place in my camera bag.

  • A compact, black metal device labeled 'Silence Corner' with screws and mounting components, standing vertically against a white background.

    Silence Corner Mambapod

    New favorite travel tripod; The versatility of this mini tripod has earned a permanent place in my bag. For places that “Prohibit“ Tripods, this is a fantastic alternative as it hooks & clamps.

  • A camera lens mount adapter with a black and orange design on a black mounting plate.

    Silence Corner Atoll S+ Rotating Camera Collar

    I hate using L-Brackets and cages in my camera, this low profile attachment has a built in arca swiss plate which i used to mount to my tripods and camera straps.

  • A set of five FALCAM action camera accessories and mounts arranged in a row, including various attachment bases and mounts.

    Falcam F38 Quick Release Basic Bundle

  • A circular camera lens filter with a black rim, labeled 'TIFFEN Black PRO-MIST 1/8 USA' on the side.

    Tiffen Black Pro-Mist Filter (Grade 1/8)

    I love halation this filter provides, the soft glow gives your photos under the right lighting conditions that ethereal look; I really only use this on my 50mm f/1.2 to reduce the perfect optics of this lens, and give it that so called “character”

  • A black camera lens filter with a metal screw-in attachment.

    NiSi True Color ND-VARIO Pro Nano Variable ND Filter (1-5 Stops)
