Camera & lenses

I chose this camera and lens based on courses I did, recommendations from filmmakers, and my own research. I use my iPhone whenever I don't have my camera on me.

Sony A6400
I use this camera for all my filming and photography needs. I've had it for almost 2 years and I still love it.

Audio

I think audio quality is more important than video quality. I wanted a lightweight mic that I could attach to both my camera or a mic stand.

Rode VideoMic Pro+
This is my latest mic and I'm so happy with how the audio turns out.

Rode VideoMicro Compact
My first mic - super affordable and versatile. I still use it on my camera when I'm filming outside.

Lighting

I use natural daylight wherever possible but supplement it with artificial lighting during winter.

RaLeno Softbox Lighting Kit
I originally bought a GODOX light but it was heavy, bulky, inconvenient, and expensive! This is more than half the price, works just as well, and is easier to store.
