CAMERAS
SONY FX3
This is my primary workhorse. Fast to rig, reliable in real world environments, and flexible enough for interviews, events, and movement heavy shoots. It lets me work efficiently without sacrificing image quality.
Sony A7IV
My hybrid backbone. Handles both photo and video seamlessly. It is often used as a B cam, for stills, or when I need speed and versatility in unpredictable situations.
LENSES
24-70mm GM
My most used lens. Wide enough for context, tight enough for emotion. If I could only bring one lens, this would be it.
16-35mm GM
Used for environmental storytelling, movement, and scale. Great for spaces, energy, and helping the viewer feel present in the scene.
70-200mm GM
Perfect for compression, detail, and capturing moments from a distance without being intrusive, especially during events or sensitive moments.
Select Sony GM Primes
Used when the story calls for a more intentional, cinematic look. Primes slow things down in a good way and add character without distraction.
STABILIZATION AND MOVEMENT
DJI RS Gimbal
Used when motion actually adds value to the story. Smooth movement with purpose, not gimmicks.
Tripods and Fluid Heads
Essential for interviews and moments that need to breathe. Stability should be invisible.
Monopod
Quick support when flexibility matters more than a full setup.
Audio
Wireless Lavalier Microphones
Clean, consistent dialogue without pulling focus from the subject.
Shotgun
Microphone
Used for ambient sound, natural moments, and as a backup audio source.
Portable Audio
Recorders
Redundancy is non negotiable. Clean audio matters just as much as visuals.
LIGHTING
Portable LED Lights
I prefer shaping existing light whenever possible. When I add light, it is soft, natural, and motivated by the environment.
Light Modifiers and Stands
The small tools that help lighting feel believable instead of staged.
ACTION AND SPECIALTY CAMERAS
DJI Action Camera
Used for fast moving, physical, or risky environments where traditional cameras do not make sense.
Insta360 X4
A creative storytelling tool that opens up angles and perspectives that would otherwise be impossible, especially for social and experiential content.
Meta Smart Glasses
Used for point of view moments, behind the scenes context, and adding a personal storytelling layer.
MONITORING AND WORKFLOW
On Camera Monitor
Helps ensure accuracy on set and prevents problems later in post.
Synology NAS System
Centralized, redundant storage for long term protection of client work.
Portable SSD's
Fast on location offloads so nothing slows the day down and nothing gets lost.
