Photography Gear I'd Actually Use
19
items The cameras, lenses and accessories I'd reach for when shooting street scenes around Kingston, studio sessions, and behind-the-scenes content for my music.
I'd use this as my main camera for vlog-style behind-the-scenes content and quick studio sessions; the flip-out screen is made for talking to camera.
Sony ZV-E10 APS-C Mirrorless Camera Body Black
A cheaper, lighter body I'd consider for street walks around Kingston; the Canon colours look great straight out of camera. This listing is a bundle with the 18-45mm kit lens.
Canon EOS R50 Mirrorless Camera w/ 18-45mm Lens
I'd look at this for a more retro, dial-driven feel when shooting street scenes. It's a kit listing with the 15-45mm lens, a memory card and extras, so check what's included.
FUJIFILM X-T30 II Mirrorless Camera Silver + 23pc Bundle
I'd put this fast f/1.4 prime on an APS-C body for low-light street shots and moody studio portraits. It's sharp for the price, though it's a bit big for a wide lens.
Sigma 16mm f/1.4 DC DN Lens for Sony E
One of my personal favorites
Sony FE 50mm F1.8 Standard Lens Black
A flexible mini tripod I'd use for table-top shots and wrapping around a pole or railing on street shoots. It's not a replacement for a full-height tripod.
Joby GorillaPod 3K Mini-Tripod w/ Ball Head
A compact sling I'd carry a body, a couple of lenses and a spare battery in while walking around Kingston. It's pricey, but it keeps the kit quick to reach and low-key.
Peak Design Everyday Sling
Quality and quantity wrapped together.
SanDisk 128GB Extreme PRO SD UHS-I Card
It's always good to have a back up battery and this makes sure you always have both charged!
K&F CONCEPT NP-FW50 Charger & 2 Batteries
A small RGB LED panel I'd use for colour accents in studio sessions and to lift faces in dim behind-the-scenes clips. It's bright enough for close-up work, not for big rooms.
NEEWER 660 PRO RGB LED Video Light w/App
leaning matters.
K&F CONCEPT 4-in-1 Camera Lens Cleaning Kit
I'd use a phone gimbal like this for smooth walking shots on my iPhone when I'm filming street scenes. It's a cheap way to get steadier footage without a full camera rig.
DJI Osmo Mobile 6 3-Axis Smartphone Gimbal
A 5-in-1 reflector I'd use to bounce sunlight onto a subject outdoors or fill shadows in a studio portrait. It folds small, though a big 43-inch disc is awkward to hold alone.
NEEWER 43" Light Reflector 5 in 1 RF-110II
I'd swap the stock strap for a slim, quick-adjust one like this when walking around all day. It's pricey for a strap, but comfortable and easy to take off.
Peak Design Slide Lite Camera Strap
A solid, travel-friendly full-height tripod I'd use for studio sessions and long-exposure night shots. It's heavier than a budget carbon one, but stable.
Manfrotto Element MII 4-Section Aluminum Tripod
A padded backpack I'd use to carry a body, a couple of lenses and a laptop on shoots around Kingston. It's a budget option, so I'd check the fit for my gear.
MOSISO DSLR/SLR/Mirrorless Camera Bag
variable ND and polarizer in one filter for bright Kingston afternoons, so I can keep a wide aperture outdoors. It's a single 67mm filter, so check your lens thread size first.
K&F CONCEPT 67mm True Color ND2-32 & Polarizer
A simple rocket blower I'd use to puff dust off lenses and sensors before wiping anything. It's cheap and avoids scratching, though it won't remove smudges.
Giottos AA1900 Rocket Air Blaster Large - Black
A wrist strap I'd clip on for walking shoots so the camera isn't swinging off my neck all day. It's an extra cost, but quick to attach and remove.
Peak Design Cuff Camera Wrist Strap, Quick Release
