Audio
Rode Video Micro
Great on camera microphone (mini shotgun mic) for DLSR and Mobile Phones
Rode Wireless Micro (USB-C)
The Rode Wireless Micro is quick and easy setup to get great audio with your smartphone. I have deployed hundreds of these units at companies with great success. If you are filming your family and/or for your business these will provide quality audio for your usb-c smartphone.
Charging/Power
Anker 12v Car Charger 167 watt!
This is the best 12v Car Charger that can deliver 167 watts of total power. I own one for each vehicle.
Anker 300w Prime Power Bank
Anker Prime Power Bank, 26,250mAh 3-Port Portable Charger with 300W Max Output
Cameras
Canon R5 Mark II
The Canon R5 Mark II is currently my primary hybrid rig for photos and locked off video. If you are looking for great stablization this probably isn’t the camera for you. With a locked off shot and for gimbal shots it does take excellent video.
Panasonic GH7
The Panasonic GH7 is one of my main camera rigs. Probably best bang for the buck in 2026.
