My Camera Gear
Every camera, lens, filter and accessory I use for commercial video, automotive films, landscape and wildlife photography. This is the exact kit I take on client shoots for brands like Carwow and Ferrari, and out on the Jurassic Coast.
Cameras
The two bodies behind almost everything I shoot, from car films for brands to kingfishers on the riverbank.
Canon EOS C50
My main video camera. A 7K full frame sensor, internal Cinema RAW Light and 3:2 open gate in a body that weighs around 670g. I shoot 7K open gate on client jobs so I can crop and reframe for YouTube, social and vertical edits from one take.

Canon EOS R5 Mark II
My stills camera for landscapes and wildlife. The 45MP stacked sensor, 30fps bursts and pre continuous shooting mean I stop missing the moment a kingfisher leaves the perch. It also shoots 8K RAW, so it doubles as a second video angle.
View on AmazonLenses
Three f/2.8 zooms that cover 15mm to 200mm. Fast, sharp and weather sealed for the coast.
Canon RF 15 to 35mm F2.8 L IS USM
My wide angle for seascapes, car interiors and tight locations. Image stabilisation makes handheld video at the wide end really smooth.

Canon RF 24 to 70mm F2.8 L IS USM
The workhorse. If I could only take one lens on a commercial job, this would be it. It handles walkarounds, details and talking heads without a lens change.

Canon RF 70 to 200mm F2.8 L IS USM Z
Internal zoom means the lens stays the same length, so it stays balanced on a gimbal. Brilliant for compressed car shots, landscapes and wildlife.

NiSi JetMag Pro Creator Kit, VND 1 to 9 Stops and Mist
My video filter kit. A 1 to 9 stop variable ND keeps my shutter speed where I want it in bright light, and the Mist filter softens highlights for a more cinematic look.

NiSi C5 Matte Box, Cinema Kit
My matte box for client films on the C50. It clamps onto the lens, takes 4x4 and 4x5.65 cinema filters, and the carbon fibre top flag cuts glare. At around 350g it still balances on a gimbal. The Cinema Kit adds a VND, an ND 1.2, an Allure Mist Black and a rotating polariser.

Small cameras for behind the scenes footage, POV shots and views from above.
Insta360 X6
My behind the scenes camera. It shoots 8K 360 so I can reframe after the shoot and never miss the angle. I first put it to work in a kingfisher hide.

DJI Osmo Action 6
A tough little camera I can stick anywhere: car mounts, chest rigs, or out in the rain. The large sensor and variable aperture make the footage cut in nicely with my main cameras.

DJI Mini 4 Pro
Under 249g, so it goes everywhere with me. Great for establishing shots on location and for tracking cars along coastal roads.
View on AmazonAudio
Good audio matters more than good pictures. This is what I use for interviews and run and gun work.
Sennheiser Profile Wireless
My wireless mic kit for interviews and talking heads. Two transmitters, a receiver and a charging case, with onboard backup recording for peace of mind.

Sennheiser MKE 600
A proper shotgun mic that sits on top of the camera for natural sound and ambience. It runs on phantom power or a battery.
View on AmazonSupport and Rigging
Gimbals, cages and tripods that keep everything steady and quick to change over.
DJI RS 5 Combo
My gimbal for smooth moving shots on car shoots and brand films. It balances the C50 with ease and sets up in minutes.

SmallRig Cage for Canon C50
Protects the C50 and gives me mounting points for a monitor, mic and handle. The HDMI clamp stops the cable working loose mid take.

SmallRig L Bracket for Canon R5 Mark II
Arca Swiss compatible on two sides, so I can switch from landscape to portrait on the tripod in seconds.

Benro Mammoth TMTH44C
My heavy duty carbon tripod with a 75mm bowl. It holds big telephoto lenses rock steady at the coast and in the hide.

Benro Rhino FRHN34C with VX30 Head
My travel tripod for hikes and workshops. Light carbon legs and a solid ball head for landscapes when weight matters.

Leofoto VH-30R
Smooth, controlled movement with long lenses. I use it for wildlife, tracking birds in flight from the tripod.
View on AmazonPower, Light and Monitoring
The kit that keeps a shoot running all day and keeps clients in the loop.
SmallRig VB99 SE V Mount Battery
99Wh, so it is safe to fly with, and USB C output means it powers the camera, monitor and my phone. One of these lasts most of a shoot day.

Nanlite FS-300B
A 300W bicolour light with a Bowens mount. My key light for interviews and product shots, and bright enough to fight daylight.

Hollyland Pyro 7
A 7 inch monitor that also works as a wireless transmitter and receiver. On set I hand it to the director so they get a live feed of exactly what I'm shooting.

How the kit gets to location and where every shoot ends up. Accurate colour and fast drives for DaVinci Resolve and Lightroom.
EIZO ColorEdge CG2700X
A 27 inch 4K colour accurate monitor with a built in calibration sensor. What I see when I grade is what the client sees.
