MY GEAR
This is a list of the gear I’ve had for years. I absolutely stand behind everything on this list because I’ve used it to its limit. I have pushed these items far beyond what they’re rated to do and yet they still perform.
THE CAMERA I USE NOW! I love this thing, I got it in 2020. I have dragged this through the dirt, did a time-lapse in the rain, and took it out in a snow storm so many times, this thing isn't talked about much any more but as someone who has taken it ...
Canon EOS R Mirrorless DSLR Camera
Great intro to Cameras, Its older but it performs, This was my first camera, now i still use it after 8 years as my B cam or second camera. It's older which means there cheep but dont let the age draw you back. there are also a lot of cheep Canon EF ...
Canon Rebel SL2 DSLR Camera
This is my faviorit action camera I have ever owned. The colors are great and it is super tactile. it has a magnetic releas so you can quick pull it on and off, it can be mounted verticly or horizontaly, and it has a super easy menu that alows you to...
DJI Osmo Action 3
Now I know, I said the DJI action 3 was my favorite action camera, but this camera gets its own category. It is an action camera, but it does so much more. There’s so many creative things you can do with this 360 camera I could go on forever. If you’...
Insta360 X4
This is one of my favorite lenses, and I make sure I have it with me on every shoot. It’s a nice wide lens that is stabilized. It’s quite a few years old so you can pick them up for real cheap. They have a fantastic image and it makes it so nice to f...
Canon EF-S 10-18mm
This is such a great lens! I’ve had it for years, I think this is my first lens that I ever bought separately from my camera. At 24 mm it’s wide, but not too wide, which makes it a perfect mid lens. It also has the ability to have a shallow depth the...
Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM Lens
The Nifty 50, This one has such a nice look its crazy how cheep you can find them now, if you have a Canon camera with either R Or EF mount, get this you will be happy you did!
Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens, Black
This thing is extremely important if you’re looking to get that cinematic look. I know the word cinematic is thrown around a lot and sometimes I feel like it’s a blanket term, but what I mean in this situation is it allows you to keep the best possib...
Variable Nd Filter
These are the rings that I was talking about for the ND filter. These allow you to adapt any filter size to your lens size. So what I like to do is buy an oversized filter and use step down rings to make sure it fits each lens. This will save you so ...
Filter Step-down Rings
Audio is so important, I would say audio is almost more important then the video. You don't have to get this mic if you don't want to but just get yourself some sort of shotgun mic for your kit.
Rode Shotgun Microphone
If your looking for crisp talking audio this is a must, and its the one I use. they work over a good range and you can link multiple mics for more people. I film myself a lot and I use this mic every time as my go-to.
Rode Wireless Mic
This is the drone I fly. I absolutely love this drone. It’s been with me since the beginning. If you look back at my content, every single time, there is a drone shot throughout all of my content that shot was taken with this drone. Now the drone is ...
DJI Mavic 2 Zoom
This is the gimbal I use. This thing is perfect for getting a steady shot, nothing more nothing less. It’s quite a basic gimbal and it’s older, but it does the trick and it does it well. Because it’s older it’s had a great price and if you can find o...
Zhiyun Crane 2
Now this one is such a hidden gem, you never hear anybody talk about it and the company is no longer running. They created this one product and they did it so well, it just happened at the same time as drones started getting popular so I feel like it...
Wiral LITE Cable Cam
I Use these, there okay, and for the price there a great place to start! if the lightbulbs go bad, you can pick some up at a hard where store unlike the higher end ones that you have to send in to get fixed. They’re definitely not the best in the wor...
SoftBoxes & Diffusers
I LOVE THESE, I have quite a few. They just make it so easy to organize your projects. Some of them I have dedicated to old work and some of them I have dedicated to stuff. I’m working on right now, organization is key when you’re dealing with a lot ...
250 GB SSD
BEST EDITING SOFTWEARE. Not going to lie its a little on the spendy side but for all that it can do and all the programs work seamlessly between each other, there are no competitors if your looking to explore multiple different programs.

Art and Adventure
This is a video that really breaks down why I love my Insta 360 camera. It’s not my video, but it’s by a creator I trust.
Why Insta360’s X4 camera hits different.
This video talks about this cable camera. This hidden gem is incredible, I bought it thinking it was going to be able to handle a little bit of weight. But this thing has no problem, throwing around my camera and gimbal. I don’t think you understand...
Wiral Lite after 2-Years. The cable cam for everyone?
This is the content creator that taught me how to edit. Before I picked up a camera and started trying to put together videos. I watched these tutorials every day, there is so much useful knowledge on this channel. Some of the content is probably old...
