My main camera is the Sony A7SIII for shooting video. I got tired of shooting with Nikon with it's poor focusing system. Boy it's a day and night difference.
Sony Alpha a7S III Mirrorless Digital Camera | ILCE7SM3
I like that i can just use the magnetic mount and place on clothing on my chest. It also magnetically sticks to steel surfaces without needing a special mount. The only thing that lacks is that it can't be used as a webcam or do live streaming.
DJI Osmo Nano Standard Combo 128GB 4K Cam
My vlogging camera. It also works great for using in OBS Studio.
DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Creator Combo Vlogging Cam
I just built a new computer workstation and needed some studio monitors. My main workstation I am using JBL LSR305 but didn't want to spend as much for the new MKII versions. These Eris E5 had lot of good reviews so I got them and they sound great!
PreSonus Eris E5 5.25" 2-Way Studio Monitor
I have this for my 1st workstation and has been great. So I bought another one for my 2nd workstation. Plenty of outlets and has USB outputs to charge and/or power up devices that need USB 5V.

My 2nd workstation is in the corner of the room with no light. I got this light to light up my workstation area. I like that it has adjustable color temperature and well as brightness. The wireless remote is a bonus.
Omorepa 36W 3000LM Ultra Bright Desk Lamp
I added a 5 port ethernet switch at my 2nd workstation and my main router/ethernet switch is across the room at my 1st workstation. CAT 8 is overkill but it was cheap so i got it instead of CAT6/e

Placed this at my 2nd workstation to connect my 2 laptops to the network and Internet. After hearing how some other companies from China maybe spying on you or easily hacked, I decided to go with a company from USA.

Replaced my old UPS that used Lead Acid batteries. I hated having to replace the battery every 12-18 months. This one should last at least 10 years.

Man these microphones are tiny. I like that i can use them with my DJI Osmo Pocket 3 or Osmo Nano.
DJI Mic Mini 2 TX + 1 RX + Charging Case
This 100mm compliments my other Rokinon lens from the same family. I have the 35mm and 75mm lens. I bought them so i could change out the lens on my Sony A7SIII which is on DJI Ronin 4 mini, and not have to re-balance the gimbal each time.
Rokinon CAF100 100mm T2.3 Telephoto Lens for Sony E
It seems over time i've been accumilating gear that needs USB A. I like this one because i can screw underneath my monitor stands and still have the openings facing out.

I got 2 of these for my main workstation where i do a lot of photo editing and video editing in Davinci Resolve. I like that they have hardware calibration profiles saved in the monitor itself and not rely on Windows to load the ICC profiles. After b...
ASUS ProArt PA32UCR-K 32" 4K HDR Monitor
Ok, the DJI Ronin 4 Mini handle is a joke. You can't fold it without it hitting the opposite side of the handle. With this handle, you can fold it with no issues.
SmallRig Plastic Sling Handgrip for DJI RS 4/3 Mini
Well as i get older, it gets difficult to hold a gimbal without tiring yourself out. This is probably the lightest gimbal that DJI has produce with a tracking module. The tracking module is a game changer. I no longer have to worry about where i'm st...
DJI RS 4 Mini Combo Gimbal Stabilizer
I got lucky before memory prices start going up and got one of these for $105. Now there are $200, oh my.

I needed a video light that could be plugged into an AC outlet could be powered by batteries. I got 2 of these because they are small and easy to use. These use the Godox proprietary mount which i like over the Bowens mount. The Bowens mount just fee...

I have the original Paul C. Buff 22" beauty dish but they no longer make it. I bought this one and a adapter so it can be mounted on the AD300Pro. Works great and can't really tell the difference between 22" and 18" light fall off on a model. I don't...
Fotodiox Pro 18" Beauty Dish Kit w/Grid
The 70-200mm has always been my favorite lens when shooting at the beach, or almost anywhere. The bokeh is just amazing.

A good head shot lens for the price.
Sony SEL85F18 85mm F1.8 Medium-Telephoto Lens
I hate when manufacturers use blue LED's because they always burn out quickly. Other than that, this thing still works after 4 years of use.
ONFINIO 7-Port USB 3.0 Hub with Switches
I just needed a basic USB audio interface with a microphone input for my 2nd workstation. I have a Scarlette 8i6 gen 3 for my main workstation and I have been happy with Focusrite. This replaces my Behringer UMC404HD which is wide and takes up too mu...

I finally got a color grading panel. I've been wanting to get the Mini but kept keeping it off. Then this micro color panel came out and I tested it at a show in LA and said yup, this is what i want and bought it. Man editing with the trackball is ju...
Blackmagic Design's DaVinci Resolve Micro Color Panel
I love Godox ecosystem where just about every lighting system can be triggered with a Godox camera trigger. I used to have the Einstein from Paul C. Buff but their controller sucked. The Eibstein however were excellent. But I needed better control ov...

This thing is small and compact and has a lot of punch. I take this and a AD200 Pro for a rim light and have no trouble carrying these around.
