What's in the Bag: My Essential Gear for Filmmaking

My Essential Gear for Filmmaking

When it comes to videography, having the right tools can make all the difference. Over the years, I’ve curated my gear to ensure I’m always prepared to capture stunning shots, whether I’m working on luxury real estate, brand videos, or even a TV show. Here’s a breakdown of what’s in my bag, my essential gear that I rely on to bring my creative vision to life.

Sony FX3 (Netflix Approved)
The Sony FX3 is my go-to camera, and for good reason. It’s lightweight, compact, and powerful. Approved by Netflix, it’s got everything I need for professional-grade video quality. The image quality, dynamic range, and low-light performance are phenomenal, making it perfect for any shooting environment. Whether I’m working on a cinematic project or a fast-paced commercial, the FX3 delivers every time.

G Master Lenses
Lenses are just as important as the camera body itself. My collection of G Master lenses offers incredible sharpness, depth, and versatility. From wide angles to tight shots, these lenses let me capture stunning visuals with beautiful bokeh and crisp details. Whether I’m filming indoors, in natural light, or at night, these lenses provide the flexibility I need to get the perfect shot.

GoPro Hero 13
Sometimes, you need a small camera that’s built for tough situations, and that’s where the GoPro Hero 13 comes in. Whether I’m capturing dynamic drone shots or shooting in challenging environments, the Hero 13 is compact, durable, and capable of recording incredible footage. It’s especially handy for getting those action-packed, immersive shots that you just can’t get with a regular camera.

Drone
I always have a drone with me for those breathtaking aerial shots that add a unique perspective to any project. From real estate shoots to scenic views, a drone helps elevate the video content and adds a whole new level of cinematic flair. It’s the perfect tool to showcase large properties, expansive landscapes or create dramatic shots that capture the essence of a scene.

Gimbal
Stabilization is key when shooting smooth, professional footage. My gimbal helps me achieve buttery-smooth camera movements, even in motion. Whether I’m walking through a property or following a subject, this tool keeps my shots steady and cinematic. It’s the perfect companion for shooting dynamic scenes and creating a professional look in every frame.

Audio Gear
Great visuals need great sound to match, so I always make sure I have reliable audio gear in my bag. I use lavaliers for capturing clear, crisp sound, especially in interviews or when recording dialogue. They’re perfect for getting close-up, clean audio without distractions from the surroundings. I also rely on the Sony B10 wireless microphone system, which gives me the flexibility to move around while maintaining great sound quality. Whether I'm on location or working on a set, this system ensures that I get high-quality, interference-free audio.

Why This Gear Works for Me
Each piece of equipment in my bag has a specific purpose, and together, they help me tell a compelling story through film. From high-end luxury real estate to dynamic brand videos and TV show projects, this gear supports my creativity, allowing me to push the limits of what I can achieve on screen. As I continue to grow and expand my business, I’ll keep adapting and adding new tools to my bag, but for now, this setup is exactly what I need to capture the moments that matter.
