What’s In my

Camera Bag?

I’ve been traveling, filming and photographing for over 15 years, and I’ve finally settled on the perfect kit for me. In my quest for the perfect “go-bag” of cameras and accessories, I’ve wasted a stupid amount money over the years. If you’re an aspiring travel videographer/photographer, learn from my mistakes, and use this as a guide so you don’t waste your hard earned money.

When you’re traveling, you want to be light as possible, so every camera and accessory in my bag must serve a purpose. This becomes especially hard when you’re a “hybrid” shooter like me - I shoot both video and photos. Through years of trial and error, I have finally settled on what I bring each time we travel. Each camera serves a very different purpose, and each accessory is essential for certain shots. I don’t bring every single camera every time I travel, but I would say I bring about 80% of these each time.

Now, keep in mind, this kit wasn’t bought all at once. This is years of buying, selling, trading & upgrading - so don’t feel like you need all of these cameras to even get started. An iPhone and a GoPro will get you 90% of the way there. Then, when you’re ready to take your footage to the next level, take a look here.
