Gear I use for video/photo content creation.

These are the 8 items in my bag that see the most use every shoot. I do not regret buying these items in the least. The ROI on these have been phenomenal.

1: Sony A7IV. This is my A cam used for my main shots of interviews, capturing b-roll, or using as my main for photos. The quick auto-focus is spot on for run and gun along with pairing it with the sigma 24-70.

2: Sony A6600. This is the B cam that is used for wide shots or static cam if the A cam is used as a roaming shot. I pair this with the sigma 16mm for great range of focus that is always sharp.

3: Sigma 24-70 2.8 lens. This is my main lens for studio work and in the field work. It has great image quality offers the best of a wide-tight shot range. When pairing with either camera I have had a great experience. It is well worth the $1100 price tag for how much I use it.

4: Sigma 16mm 1.4 lens. For the price the quality easily surpasses the worth. The range in aperture makes this a great lens in low light situations and the snappy auto focus makes sure you are always keeping your subject in focus. The build quality is great with the price point of this lens.

5: DJI AIR2S. An excellent drone for the $1300 price point. 5.4K sensor for video and photo gives you so much room to crop in and maintain plenty of quality in the image. This simple controls mean the learning curve is really nice for beginners. You have the option to edit in log for video to give yourself that much more control of the final look. This drone is one of my most requested services and is future proof as well.

6: DJI wireless mics. These mics are good to go right out the box. They pair with any phone with the simple connection of the receiver to the phone. You can record right into the mic or run it into your camera and bake the audio into the footage. No matter which way you use it the quality of the audio is great right out of the mic or your can do a bit of editing to clean it up. Experience or no experience in audio engineering does not stop you from having crisp clean audio. The carrying case also doubles as a charging port so your mics are always able to charge too.

7: Weebill S Gimbal. A powerful gimbal that can handle a heavy rig and still perform well. This works better with my A6600 rig but can still handle the A7IV just as well. The body is plastic so it is not as durable as a DJI gimbal but the strength in the motors more than makes you for how smooth and stable the performance of this gimbal is. At $300 it is a great gimbal for those on a budget.
