On this page you can find an up to date list of all the gear I use. This includes everything from cameras, tech and travel accessories. The gear is split up into kits with each kit serving a specific purpose. For example the gear I take with me on a backpacking trip is vastly different to the one I would shoot a client project on.

Please keep in mind that it has taken me a very long time to save and invest in the below items. Furthermore, I do this for a living thus can justify higher end products due to tax deductions and because photo / video / travel is my main income. Please do not get into difficult financial positions and only purchase if you can afford it or it is required for a specific purpose. Everything below can be swapped for a cheaper alternatives without much sacrifice.

For most items, if you click on the image, it will take you to this product (or similar if no longer available) on Amazon, B&H or Moment. These are affiliate links and for you it will not cost any different. For me it means I get a tiny % of any purchase you make. Also by clicking any of the links, Amazon will still give me a small kickback even if you purchase something else. So for the smaller items that are not linked, simply click on a camera, then search for the item and I will still get a small commission.

Finally if you see me using other gear not mentioned below it’s because the gear is either on test, on loan or not mine. I usually have a few lenses I’m testing before deciding whether they will go into my main kit or not.

Everyday Carry

This is what I would take with me everywhere. Whether I’m going to buy milk, workout in the gym or for evening drinks with friends. Some of my best photos came from days when I was running errands, not out shooting. This is also what I keep handy on travel days in my sling.

Compact Camera Kit

This is my compact kit and I use it anytime I want a minimal lightweight setup. I mostly use it when shooting at home, travelling light or going on holiday. The 43mm focal length is perfect for documenting a family trip and holiday snapshots. This also doubles up as my dedicated street photography set up. I typically shoot between 40 and 85mm so this allows me to cover that range given the cropping ability of this Q3. Finally the DJI Pocket 3 is the perfect video camera for YouTube.

Main Camera Kit

This is the main kit I use for all my photo and video both at home and while on the road. Specifically on trips that are expensive or to locations I won’t have the freedom to visit whenever I want. The goal here is to have all basis covered with backup options. Having tried many different combinations of lenses and focal lengths, I found this to be the most useful in almost any situation.

The main body is the Sony A7RV. This is the workhorse and the camera I will use for 90% of all photo and video. The Sony A7CII is a smaller video camera that doubles up as a great backup photo camera. If something were to happen to the A7R, this will do everything I need. In total I will bring between 3 and 5 lenses depending on where I am going. Three zooms and two primes.

The first zoom is the Sony 24-50mm f2.8. This lens is compact and starts at 50mm, meaning it stays the most compact when set to the focal lengths I shoot the most. The second zoom is a 16-25mm f2.8 which I will use for any wide angle shots but mostly for video and behind the scenes. The final zoom is a 70-200mm f4. This is my telephoto lens that also doubles up as a macro. I don’t shoot telephoto in low light and with the compression, I wouldn’t want to go lower than f4.

The first prime is a Sigma 35mm f2 and the second is a Sigma 90mm f2.8. The 35mm can be used as a great walk around lens while the 90mm can be paired with the 24-50mm for a compact telephoto solution in a city. These two primes offer a small / light solution while also serving as a backup for the zooms.

Camera Accessories

My most used accessories are below. Obviously I have loads of odd bits here and there, but what you see here is used all the time.

Bags / Travel Stuff

Finding the right bag is probably one of the hardest tasks out there. I have spent thousands buying different bags, using them from a month to a year and realising they no longer work for me. Below is what I currently use and what works for me. Of course not all of them come on all the trips and it really depends on the circumstances. Some trips I will only use the small sling and the 26L bag. Other trips I will use the two backpacks. Sometimes a duffel and a backpack work best and other times the larger outdoor bag and a sling is what’s needed. There is no right or wrong, however the selection below covers every scenario.
