Over the years, I've been asked countless times to provide recommendations on video and photo gear for public sector communications. This list is based on my own preferences as a video and multimedia professional who has exclusively shot on Canon over the last 10+ years. I've provided recommendations for gear that I believe spans most experience levels, from entry-level generalist needs to fully advanced cinema needs. Most of these cameras I have either used myself, purchased personally or purchased for my organization (except for the R6 V, I just want YOU to buy it so I can play with it!).
I am a huge fan of Atari 8-bit computers including the Atari 400 and 800, 600XL and 800XL, as well as the 65XE and 130XE. I have a nice collection and repair, use, and modify the computer regularly.

I already ship social from code. This is the stack I open when one piece of content has to land on Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, and the rest without living in those apps all week: an API that actually posts, a fan-out UI when I am not writing code, then pins, clips, and links so the traffic does not vanish.

I've been remote working for 4 years now — from coffee shops in Bali, hotel desks in Tokyo, and my home office in Jakarta. Across all of that, I've gone through at least 20 chargers, 6 mice, and 4 headphones before settling on the exact gadgets below. Total I've spent roughly $800 on all of these, and every single one earned its spot. No sponsored picks, no generic brands — just the tools that survived 3+ replacements before I found THE one.
I started UGC looking for a flexible income stream and learned fast that brands don't reject your content for bad ideas. They reject it for bad audio, inconsistent lighting, a logo on your shirt, or a product shot that won't focus. Every item on this list exists to prevent a specific brief failure I've either had or watched another creator have. There's no influencer-aesthetic gear here and nothing you'll outgrow in three months. If you're starting from scratch, buy in this order: audio first, then lighting, then camera support, then the small stuff. The whole kit pays for itself with one fintech or beauty deal at standard rates.

These are the basics and the tech items that have tremendously helped me through my journey. I am now a senior in college and a full-time stay at home mom/college student.
Last summer I accidentally formatted a card with 3,000 vacation photos on it — no backup. That sick feeling in my stomach was enough to make me obsessive about fast, reliable portable SSDs.
