My Gear List
What I carry into the mountains, on roads, and through airports. No fluff — just the stuff that earns its weight.
DJI Osmo Pocket 3
Primary shooter.
1-inch CMOS sensor
4K/120fps video
3-axis mechanical gimbal + 2" rotatable screen
“The gimbal smoothness changed how I film on foot. This is the camera I reach for first — every trip, every time.”
DJI Osmo Nano
Helmet, handlebar, chest — anything that moves fast and rough.
1/1.3" CMOS, 52g wearable cam
4K/60fps, 200-min extended battery
10m waterproof, magnetic dual-sided mount
“Waterproof, shockproof, and absolutely fearless. Goes where the Pocket 3 can't.”
iPhone 15 Pro Max
Still can't beat it for spontaneous moments.
48MP main + 5x optical telephoto
A17 Pro chip, ProRes video
6.7" ProMotion OLED, Action button
“Best camera I always have on me. The 5x telephoto is genuinely wild for travel photography.”
DJI Mini 5 Pro
My most-used kit in the mountains.
1-inch CMOS, omnidirectional obstacle sensing
4K/60fps HDR, ActiveTrack 360°
~46 min flight time, 20km transmission
“Sub-250g means no registration hassle in most countries. The footage looks anything but entry-level.”
DJI Flip
The compact backup that folds into almost nothing.
1/1.3" sensor, sub-249g
4K/60fps HDR, 31 min flight
Foldable full-coverage propeller guard
“Foldable propeller guard means I can launch from my palm without worrying about fingers. Surprisingly capable for its size.”
Hollyland Lark M2
Two lapels, zero cables, clean audio outdoors.
9g ultra-light transmitter
300m range, ENC noise cancellation
24-bit/48kHz, 40h total battery
“Weighs 9g each. I clip one on, hand one to whoever I'm filming, and forget about sound. It just works.”
Ulanzi Tripod
Compact enough to carry everywhere.
Compact aluminum build
Cold shoe + 1/4" thread mount
Travel-ready, folds flat
“Holds the Pocket 3 perfectly. Fits in the side pocket of any bag. No excuses not to bring it.”
Transcend ESD270C 1TB
Fast enough for 4K offloads right from camp.
Up to 1,050MB/s read speed
USB 3.2 Gen 2, USB-C
Drop-resistant, compact form factor
“USB-C portable SSD. Rugged enough for the field, fast enough to not hold up the workflow after a long shooting day.”
MacBook M1
Still absurdly capable for timelines.
Apple M1 chip, 8-core GPU
Up to 18h battery life
Handles ProRes 4K timelines natively
“Handles DJI ProRes 4K without sweating. The battery life on a flight edit session is genuinely impressive.”
Garmin Fenix 6X Pro
My hiking brain on my wrist.
GPS/GLONASS/Galileo multi-band
Up to 21 days battery (smartwatch mode)
Topo maps, barometric altimeter, pulse ox
“Tracks altitude, route, sleep, and heart rate. Tells me when I've pushed too hard before my body does. Essential on multi-day treks.”
Osprey Atmos AG 50
The pack that disappears on your back.
50L capacity, Anti-Gravity suspension
LightWire peripheral frame
Hipbelt pockets, rain cover included
“Anti-Gravity suspension is genuinely something else. Wore this for 14 hours straight on a ridge traverse and barely felt it.”
Naturehike P-Series Tent (3P, UPF 50+)
Sets up fast when the weather turns.
3-person capacity, UPF 50+ fabric
Lightweight aluminum poles
Freestanding, quick-pitch design
“Three people, full UV protection, light enough to not regret bringing it. My go-to for group camping on any trail.”
Naturehike Waterproof 50L Daypack
Stuffs inside the Osprey when not needed.
50L waterproof roll-top design
Stuffs into integrated pouch
Lightweight, reinforced base
“Brilliant for summit days or wet river crossings. Packs into its own pocket to almost nothing, then opens up to 50L.”
