Digital Camera Bodies & Lenses
Sony A7RIII - This is my go to digital body for photography. 42mp sensor and 4K video capabilities means that it's an excellent option for hybrid shooters.
Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM Lens - The 24-70 f/2.8 is the most useful/versatile lens, in my opinion. This is the lens that I make sure to get no matter the camera system that I'm using.
Sony A7RII + Sony Vario-Tessar T* FE 16-35mm f/4 ZA OSS Lens
If you’ve kept up with my work for a long time, you’d know that I actually sold this setup but had the ability to borrow it whenever I want. Well, I figured that I was borrowing it so much that I’d just buy it back, so I did. The A7RII is a great cheaper alternative to the A7RIII if you don't need the little refinements that the newer body provides. The 16-35mm f/4 is a sharp and relatively cheap wide angle lens that is extremely flexible. I enjoy this setup very much and am currently using it to record all of my YouTube videos.
Samyang 35mm f/2.8 AF - This is the lens that I use when I want a small, lightweight and compact lens. This lens is TINY and produces great results. Full review here.
Filters
Wine Country Camera Filter Holder - Like I said in (THIS VIDEO), this is the best camera filter system on the market.
Wine Country Camera Blackstone ND Filters - I currently own the 3, 6, and 9 stop ND filters. These are the best ND filters that I've tried yet.
Tripods
Manfrotto MT190CXPRO4 Tripod - This is actually the first pair of tripod legs that I ever bought. It's like my dad taught me, buy something that may cost a bit more the first time around, and it'll last a long time so you don't have to waste any more money buying another one. Of all the tripod legs that I’ve had throughout the years, this is by far my favorite.
Manfrotto MH057M0-Q5 Ballhead - Along with my first tripod, this is my first ballhead. I like this particular one because it uses the Manfrotto 501PL plate, which is generally what many video heads use. This means that I only need one plate for both photo and video setups.
Sirui A1205 - My new travel tripod. Small, lightweight and capable! I’m using this tripod more and more and it has been the first option on many occasions.
Benro FIF19CIB0 - Another travel tripod that I own. This has actually become my main tripod. Whenever I only need one tripod, this is the one that I grab. Although the technical specifications of the Sirui is better on paper, I actually think this tripod performs better.
Manfrotto 502HD Fluid Head - The best fluid head in terms of bang for the buck in my opinion. Any time that you see me make a video in the studio, my camera is sitting on this head. Video review HERE
Additional Equipment to make YouTube Videos
Sony FDR-X3000 - My most used action camera. It has great video quality and the built-in optical lens stabilization works great to provide smoother shots.
Shure VP83 LensHopper Camera-Mounted Condenser Microphone - Shotgun mic that I use in the studio.
Movo VXR10 - A more affordable shotgun mic that I currently use while vlogging.
Rode RodeLink Wireless Filmmaker System - Wireless mic system
Tascam DR-10L Digital Recorder & Lavalier Mic - Backup wireless mic system that costs significantly less than the one above. However, with this one, you will have to sync audio in post.
iPhone Xs Max - I often use this phone to capture video and often get compliments on video quality.
Film Cameras & Lenses
Nikon F3 - My first film camera and one that I always recommend. This is a great film camera for users of all skill level. This thing is built like a tank and can last a lifetime.
Nikon F100 - The most technologically advanced film camera that I own. If you want to have a shooting experience like a modern camera, try this one. This is my go to film camera when I have a serious shoot and want to get consistent results because the camera has the adequate technology to provide it.
Nikon N90S - An in between of the Nikon F100 and the Nikon N2020. It’s a bit bigger and heavier but gets the job done.
Nikon N2020 - My favorite everyday film camera. It’s not the most technologically advanced camera but it’s just one of those things that feels right.
Nikonos V - My go to underwater/waterproof film camera. This is a cult classic and the recognition is well deserved.
Nikonos II - My backup underwater/waterproof film camera. A great camera but lack the light meter.
Nikon 50mm f/1.4 AI-S - A great fast 50mm lens that I often use on manual Nikon film cameras. This is a great lens for film cameras but also still very functional when adapted to modern cameras. I often use this lens on my Sony cameras and get fantastic result.
Nikon 50mm f/1.8 Series E - Probably the best bang for the buck lens that I’ve every bought. This lens can be purchased for very cheap and it still produces great results. This is my go to walk around manual lens because it is just about as small and compact as you can get for the F mount.
Nikon 50mm f/1.8D - My main autofocus lens for my more modern Nikon film cameras. This lens is still being produced today and is one of the cheapest full frame Nikon lenses that you can get. I like this lens so much that I bought it twice.
Nikon 24mm f/2.8D - If you’re looking for a compact wide angle prime, then I’d highly suggest checking this out. This is one of my most used focal lengths for landscape photography and as a portrait lens, it provides and interesting perspective that you’re not going to see a lot of.
Camera Bags
EVOC CP 26L - My new everyday camera backpack. I can’t say enough good things about this bag. Stylistically, this is such a good looking bag and holds enough for my everyday needs.
EVOC CP 35L - When the EVOC CP 26L isn’t big enough. They are essentially the same bag, this one is just bigger.
Mindshift Backlight 36L - The bag that I use when hiking/outdoors. The well padded straps make this a comfortable bag to carry on long hikes. I own both the Backlight 26L and 36L but opt for the 36L most of the time because I need to carry more equipment when making my landscape photography videos.
Lowepro ProTactic 450AW - My old go to. I used this bag 99% of the time. Whether it's walking through the city or traveling the world. Although this is now a backup bag, it is one that I still keep around because it’s a good all rounder.
Peak Design Sling 5L - This is the bag that I use when I don't feel like carrying a lot. This is for the minimalist setup, one body, one lens, and maybe a few smaller items.

Peak Design Everyday Messenger V2 - The bag that I use for air travel. I like the V2 of this bag because it has a luggage passthrough that makes carrying a lot easier in conjunction with a luggage.

Pelican 1510 - The standard in hard cases. This is is the case that I’ve used for the past few years and holds my camera gear everyday.
SKB iSeries 2011-7 - A new hard case that I’ve recently started using. It’s a great alternative to the Pelican 1510 and is a bit better if you’re looking for a case that you can pull around a lot.
