What’s In My Camera Bag
A list of the core items in my camera bag I bring on 90% of my travels. For a complete list of everything I use click here.
Cameras:
Sony A7RIII
Sony’s 42MP beast of a camera with 15 stops of dynamic range, no AA filter, 10fps burst mode, dual SD cards, amazing EVF, the list goes on. It also has amazing video features for when I need it with 1080p 120fps and 4K FF with no pixel binning. Definitely my favorite camera to date.
DJI Phantom 4 Pro+
A good compromise of image quality and size. Awesome H.265 4K video quality and 20MP stills, always gets the job done without any errors and fights the wind like a boss.
GoPro Hero 6
My go to camera for mounting on top of my camera. Perfect for BTS and a camera POV perspective. Excellent for aerial photography as well.
Lenses:
Sony 16-35mm f/2.8 G Master
My go to ultra wide angle lens, very sharp corner to corner, no vignetting or color fringing. My filter system works on there too, all around a big win.
Sony 24-70mm f/2.8 G Master
The workhorse lens! This is on my camera 80% of the time, great for portrait, landscape, aerial photography, street, literally almost any situation. Fantastic image quality and optics, a must have for the Sony mirrorless system.
Sony 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 G Master
My favorite telephoto lens, super sharp, excellent image quality, perfect focal range for landscape. Overall a big win for the kind of work I do.
Support:
Really Right Stuff TVC34L / BH-55 Ballhead
Probably one of the most rugged and solid tripods money can buy in the photography world. It’s the perfect combination of weight, folded/extended length and overall durability. Always super stable and never fly’s away in the wind.
Peak Design Sling Strap
100% the best camera strap I’ve ever used. Super comfortable and never gets in the way, also holds a ton of weight.
LensCoat Rain Cover (Medium)
Super important for any kind of outdoor photography, you never know when it’s going to rain. Perfect for walking around as well as having your camera mounted on a tripod with full access to controls. Always keep this in my bag!
Camera Bags:
Mindshift Gear BackLight 26L
Since I switched to Sony mirrorless I was able to cut down the size of my camera bag. Lightweight, rugged and durable and has plenty of space plus an expandable front pocket which is amazing.
Mindshift Gear FirstLight 40L
This bag is gigantic, I only bring this when I need to literally bring everything or if I’m doing video work and need the space for the stabilizer. It’s also the max size for an overhead carry on.
Peak Design Everyday Messenger 15
Favorite messenger bag of all time when I just need my laptop and/or my camera and extra lens. Awesome bag all around!
Filters:
Formatt Hitech 100mm Filter System
My favorite filter company, they make the firecrest filters which are completely color neutral and have a range of different solid / graduated filters. I use the 3 stop, 6 stop, 10 stop and 16 stop solid and the 3 / 5 stop graduated 150mm filters along with the 105mm polarizer.
Bose QuietComfort 35 II
Noise canceling headphones will save your life on long flights, it makes all the difference to not hear screaming kids on 15 hour flights. Great sound quality, 3 levels of noise canceling, 30 hour battery that charges via micro USB, total game changer for my travels.
