What Photography Equipment Do I Use? A Guide to My Go-To Gear

In this section, I’m sharing the majority of my current equipment list. Why “majority” and not all? Well, there are tons of small pieces I use that I honestly don’t even remember the names of, or when and where I got them! :)

This list includes the core gear I rely on for my work—camera bodies, lenses, tripods, lights, softboxes, stands, and more.

Most of the equipment listed here was purchased through Amazon, B&H Photo, or Adorama. I’ve included direct links to the exact items I use. Just click on the yellow gear names to check them out.

Here’s My Equipment List:

Camera bodies

1. Canon 5D Mark II

2. Canon 5D Mark IV

Camera lenses

1. Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II

• Planning to upgrade to the III version, which I highly recommend!

2. Canon EF 24-70mm F2.8 L II

3. Canon EF 100-400mm F4.5-5.6 L II

4. Sigma 105mm F2.8 Macro

Lens Filters

1. Lee 6-Stop ND and 10-Stop ND Filters

2. Hoya HD3 CIR-PL Filter

These filters are fantastic for landscape photography! The ND filters are perfect for long exposures, while the CPL filter enhances skies and reduces glare from water.

For car and product photography, CPL filters are also amazing for minimizing unwanted reflections and glare—highly recommended!

Drone

DJI Mavic 2 Pro-Fly More Combo

I’ve been using this drone since 2019 for both commercial shoots and recreational flying. It’s an excellent investment. However, if your budget allows, I’d recommend upgrading to the newer Mavic 3 Pro It’s an absolute beast, and perfect for professionals who are ready to invest in their skills, get a commercial drone pilot license, and follow flight regulations.

Gimbal (Stabilizer) for smoother videography

DJI Ronin RS2 Combo

I purchased this gimbal in 2021, and it’s been a game-changer—especially compared to my old manual stabilizer. It’s lighter, more convenient, and packed with features. If you’re just starting out, consider going for the newer Ronin RS3  or even the latest RS4 Pro version, for the best performance and features.

Coming Soon!

I’m still working on editing the rest of the list, which will include additional lighting gear, softboxes, and accessories. Stay tuned—it’ll be ready soon!
