My Gear

 

My Travel & Adventure Gear

Whether I’m filming cinematic 4K footage in the heart of Cairo, trekking through the Australian bush, or freediving at Fly Point, these are the tools I rely on. Every piece of gear here has been tested in the field to ensure it handles the rigors of travel and high-quality content creation.

📸 Camera & Cinematic Gear

The core of my YouTube channel. I use a mix of DSLR, action cameras, and drones to capture every angle of the journey.

  • Primary DSLR: Canon EOS 2000D – My go-to for high-quality photography and portraiture.

  • Action Camera: GoPro Hero 12 Black – The industry standard for rugged, stabilized 4K footage.

  • Drone: DJI Neo – An ultra-lightweight 4K drone that is perfect for "follow-me" hiking shots and quick aerials.

  • Mobile Content: Google Pixel 9 Pro XL – Incredible for "run-and-gun" B-roll and high-res mobile editing.

  • Audio: DJI Mic 2 – Essential for clear, professional voiceovers and travel guides.

Storage & Power

  • SD Cards: Samsung Evo Plus – High-speed cards that never drop a frame during 4K recording.

  • GoPro Power: Telesin 3-Battery Charger – A lifesaver for long days and multiple dives; it houses and charges three batteries simultaneously.

  • Power Bank: Energizer UE10026 (10,000mAh) – Reliable, slim, and keeps my phone and mics charged on the go.

🌊 Snorkelling & Freediving

Water is a huge part of my life. My gear needs to be streamlined and high-performance for the best underwater experience.

  • Fins: Cressi Gara Modular Freediving Fins – My favorite brand. These feature removable/replaceable blades, allowing you to customize your kick as you progress.

  • Mask: Cressi Big Eyes Evolution – Provides a massive field of view and a superior seal for all-day comfort.

  • Snorkel: Cressi Corsica – A minimalist, flexible J-tube snorkel designed specifically for freediving and low drag.

🥾 Hiking & Adventure Essentials

When I’m on the trail, I need gear that is lightweight, versatile, and keeps my hands free for filming.

  • Mounting: Telesin Backpack Strap GoPro Mount – This allows me to capture immersive POV footage while walking without having to hold the camera.

  • The "Travel Pillow" Hack: Kathmandu Men's Heli 600 Fill Down Jacket – This is a travel essential. It’s incredibly warm, lightweight, and folds into its own pocket to become a comfortable travel pillow for flights.

  • Packing: Compression Packing Cubes – The only way to keep a backpack organized. They save a massive amount of space in your luggage.

✈️ Long-Haul Comfort & Safety

Travel isn't just about the destination; it’s about surviving the journey.
