GEAR LIST

Shop my camera essentials below.

Here's a list of cameras, lenses, and some of the accessories I use during my travels and everyday shooting.

Some things I consider when buying gear:

Price. I'm not looking to break the bank which is why I tend to go with third party lenses like Tamron.

Weight and size. I look for something that is relatively light and comfortable enough to walk around with, hike with, and travel with.

Ease of use.

And above all else, quality.

Cameras

NIKON D780

My main photography camera. It's a full-frame camera that has two memory card slots, built-in wifi, and does well in low light situations.

DJI MAVIC AIR 2

The drone I use for all my aerial footage. It's lightweight, easy to travel with, fits in the palm of my hand, and the image quality is great.

SONY ZV-1 CAMERA

My vlogging camera. The best thing about this camera is how easy it is to use. It has autofocus and a flip screen so you can monitor yourself while recording.

Lenses

TAMRON 24-70MM f2.8 G2

My all-around go-to lens. I love this lens because it's versatile, ultrasharp, image-stabilized, has nice bokeh, and does great in low light.

TAMRON 28-300MM F/3.5-6.3

My main daytime hiking lens. It's very light and super versatile. I love not having to pack more than one lens while using it.

TAMRON 70-200MM f2.8

This high-caliber telephoto lens is ultrasharp, image-stabilized, and great in low light.

NIKON AF-S 50MM f/1.8G

This prime lens gives you a lot of bang for your buck. It's very small and light, excellent in low-light, and has lovely bokeh, making it a stellar portrait lens.

Accessories

K&F CONCEPT
62'' DSLR TRIPOD

I'm not a fan of being weighed down by heavy bulky gear, especially while hiking or traveling. This is a great compromise between quality and weight.

BREAKTHROUGH
PHOTOGRAPHY ND FILTER

A neutral density filter is essential for achieving that silky-smooth effect in your photos. It's what I use when shooting long exposures of waterfalls and sunsets.

VANGUARD HAVANA
41" CAMERA BACKPACK

I love this bag because it fits everything, including my laptop and some clothes with room to spare. It's comfortable to wear and perfect for travel.
