Camera Bodies & Lenses
Camera bodies and lenses that are currently being used that can be used for longterm business goals. My brand choice is going to be Nikon primarily because they have acquired RED cameras. My goal is to utilize Nikon Z camera bodies for photography an...
Main camera body for both photos and video. I currently have two which covers all scenarios. I think having two camera bodies of the same camera type helps to produce consistency with the quality and colors.
Nikon Z6 III Mirrorless Camera
Great all around lens for wide and up close. I have two of these lenses
Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-120mm f/4 S Lens (Nikon Z)
Starting prime lens mainly because it's lightweight and is a standard focal length
Nikon NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.4 Lens (Nikon Z)
This is a need for all outdoor scenarios to prevent blown out images from harsh lighting
NiSi 77mm Circular ND Filter Kit
Lightweight gimbal that I mainly use with a prime lens. Zoom lenses tend to throw off the balance.
DJI RS 4 Mini Combo Kit
This is one of those unexpected finds. I purchased this because I wanted to give all day power to my DJI RS4 mini gimbal. This perfectly attaches to the side of the gimbal to where I can then connect my v mount battery for convenient power on the go.
Tilta Pocket V-Lock Plate V2
This tripod's hydraulic clutch leg extension technology lets you set up and balance your camera rig in seconds, supporting rigs up to 13.2 lb while weighing only 8.2 lb.

Audio Equipment
My audio equipment covers all event scenarios
Perfect for capturing ambient sound and connected to audio systems
Zoom H6essential 6-Track 32-Bit Float Portable Audio Recorder
Plug and play pro lav mics to 90% of events
RODE Wireless PRO 2-Person Clip-On Wireless Microphone System/Recorder with Lavaliers (2.4 GHz)
Mainly purchased this kit as a backup audio source and for brides not wanting to deal with a lav mic wire under the dress. This is simple and magnetic to clip on the dress.
Hollyland LARK M2 DUO 2-Person Wireless Combo Microphone System (2.4 GHz, Ivory White)
Helps secure lav mics to clothing
Rycote Stickies Lavalier Adhesive Pads (100-Pack)
This is one of those random finds, I came across this hair tape because alot of the audio tape available is black or white but I wanted something a little more discreet when attaching a lav mic to a brides dress. This tape works really well.

Lighting Equipment
A list of current lighting for flashes and continuous light
Just received this light but it is mainly for weddings when I need to spotlight someone giving a speech
Aputure LS 60x Bi-Color LED Focusing Flood Light
This is a fun inexpensive light that can be adjusted and positioned to fit in many places especially since it's compact
Godox RGB Mini Creative M1 On-Camera Video LED Light
Large bowens softbox that can be used during video shoots and photoshoots
Godox Quick Release Umbrella Softbox (47.2")
Smaller softbox to compliment a two light set up for all shoot types
Godox Quick Release Umbrella Softbox (33.5")
My go to on camera flash for event coverage especially when I need it to trigger my other godox ad200 flashes
Godox V100 Flash for Nikon
I've tried MagMod attachments but didn't like them after awhile. This flash bender is a game changer. I can probably shoot an entire event with just my on camera flash and this attachment to produce good quality photos.
