Let’s talk gear.
A good oven doesn’t help a bad chef. Gear isn’t everything, but I’ve used and owned a lot of it. Here’s what I use to run everything I do.
Sigma 18-50 f2.8
An everyday zoom for the Sony ZV-E10. It’s compact, lightweight, and gives me a constant f/2.8 aperture.
Sony ZV-E10
A high-quality, inexpensive camera to start your video journey or to shoot b-roll.
Aputure Light Dome
When I want beautiful, soft, cinematic light, the Aputure Light Dome is my go-to modifier.
Manfrotto Super Clamp
It’s a rock-solid, universal mounting solution for lights, cameras, arms, monitors, basically anything you can bolt to it.
Manfrotto 244RC Variable Friction Arm
This is one of those behind-the-scenes tools that quietly solves a lot of problems on set
SmallRig CT-10 Tripod
Compact enough to throw in a bag, tall enough for comfortable shooting at full height, and versatile enough to handle everything from DSLR and mirrorless cameras to phones and even projectors.
AIAIAI TMA-2
Comfortable, lightweight, and modular, these headphones are perfect for long editing sessions without ear fatigue.
Aputure Amaran F22x
The Aputure F22x is my flexible, high-output lighting solution for shoots where portability matters just as much as power. It’s a foldable 2x2 LED mat that can be thrown in a backpack but still light a full scene with soft, even illumination.
Joby GorillaPod 3K
The GorillaPod 3K is my flexible, go-anywhere tripod for quick setups when I’m filming solo.
Logitech MX Keys Mini
A compact, comfortable keyboard that fits perfectly into my desk setup without sacrificing typing feel.
Logitech MX Master 3S
This is the most comfortable, precise mouse I’ve used for editing and general work.
Rode VideoMic NTG
This mic lives on my camera for most shoots. It’s compact, lightweight, and delivers clean audio that makes editing much easier.
Elgato Prompter
The Elgato Prompter helps me keep eye contact with the camera during scripts and presentations, making videos feel more personal and engaging.
Shure SM7dB
The SM7dB takes the classic SM7B and builds in a preamp, meaning no need for extra hardware to get great sound. It’s my go-to for voiceovers, podcasts, and any situation where vocal clarity matters.
Apple Studio Display
When editing video and photos all day, colour accuracy and screen real estate aren’t optional; they’re essential. The Apple Studio Display gives me a crisp, true-to-life image and integrates seamlessly with my Mac setup.
Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM II Lens
This lens rarely leaves my camera. The 24-70mm f/2.8 GM II covers everything from wide establishing shots to tight portraits without sacrificing quality. It’s sharp, fast, and lighter than its predecessor, making it ideal for long shoot days.
Sony A7 IV
When I needed one camera to handle both high-end client work and my own content, the Sony A7 IV was the obvious choice. It’s versatile, dependable, and produces images that work across every platform I publish to, from YouTube to LinkedIn.
