Equipment List

Stills Camera

  • Sony A7IV (it more than meets my needs)

Lenses

  • Sony 20-70mm f/4 G (for about 90% of what I do)

  • Sony 24mm f/1.4 GM (for landscape astrophotography and some subject photography)

Filters

  • Polarpro Quartzline Circular Screw-on Filters (CPL, 3 Stop ND PL, 6 Stop ND PL, 10 Stop ND PL, and a Heavy Mist Filter for astrophotography). I’ve never been a fan of using a bulky filter system. This set up is compact is easy to carry around, they’re easy to attach and remove, there’s no colour cast, and I love the built-in polariser on each of the ND filters.

Video Cameras / Drone / Audio

  • DJI Osmo Pocket 3 (powerful little device and much more handy than having a second main camera body)

  • DJI Action 5 Pro (handy to have in the rain, and also for attaching inside the van, on my bike, or for POV work in the field)

  • DJI Mini 4 Pro (superb little drone, easy to operate, few restrictions)

  • DJI Mic 2 (works seamlessly with the Pocket 3 and the Action 5 Pro)

  • DJI Mic Mini (for when I’m with someone)

Star Tracker

  • Move Shoot Move’s Nomad Tracker (a definite upgrade from the original Move Shoot Move tracker, compact yet high-performing)

Tripods

  • Gitzo Mountaineer Series 3 (strong, sturdy, lightweight and maintainable - definitely suits my kind of photography - long exposure work at the coast and at night)

  • Peak Design Travel Tripod (for convenience more than anything as it is compact and light)

Bags

  • Shimoda Explorer 35L (superb quality bag - when you lift it it seems to weigh a lot, but you don’t feel this once it’s on the back)

  • Peak Design 10L Sling Bag (handy little handbag)

  • Peak Design Tech Pouch (handy little clutch bag for all that random stuff we think we need - wipes, allen keys, tripod feet, brushes etc)
