GEAR I USE

No sponsored fluff. This is the kit I actually shoot, clean and power my cameras with every week — the stuff that's earned a permanent spot in my bag. If you want it, I've linked where to get it. Outside the US? The Amazon buttons send you to your own country's store.

Heads up — these are affiliate links. If you buy through them I may earn a small commission, at no extra cost to you. I only list gear I genuinely use and trust, and a commission never buys a spot on this page. Some of these items are also available used in our shop.

​RATHER RENT FIRST?

Try most of this gear before you buy — rent it from us by the day or week.
