The camera gear I own and take on client shoots: cameras and lenses, lighting, audio, tripods and support, bags and the small parts that keep it all running.

My complete iPhone filming kit: cage, lenses and filters, audio, power and storage, plus all the small mounting parts that connect it.

The room I actually work in: Mac and monitor, speakers, key light and webcam for calls, edelkrone motion control, the projector corner and the desk hardware around it.

Every part of the iPhone filming rig I actually use: cage and mounts, V-mount power, monitor, audio chain, lighting and the cables that hold it all together.

The Tilta Khronos parts I run on the iPhone: release adapters, handles, mounting adapters and the lens tray.

How I get an XLR microphone onto an iPhone: the adapter chain, the cables and the clamps and magnetic mounts that hold it all together. There is no phantom power in this chain, so use a microphone that runs on its own battery, like the MKE 600.

My 3D printing corner: the Bambu Lab A1 Mini, filament and the measuring and cutting tools I reach for on every print.

The Stanley and YETI gear that gets me through long shoot days: thermal bottle, food jar, gallon jug and a couple of beer glasses for after the wrap.

The hardware for 3D printed MagSafe camera mounts: ¼"-20 heat set inserts for the tripod thread, plus magnetic rings so the print sticks to an iPhone.

The exact gear from my minimalist iPhone filmmaking setup, with zero cables. All-day power, professional wireless audio, and a cinematic ND filter, all affordable. Perfect for creators and business owners who want to film their own YouTube and social videos without an expensive rig. Works with any iPhone from the 15 Pro on: USB-C for the mic, MagSafe for the power bank and the mounts.
