Camera Bodies
These bodies cover my main still photography and hybrid video needs, from aircraft detail shots to destination photography.
Canon R7
My compact crop-sensor body for travel days when reach matters and I want a lighter camera bag.
Canon 5D Mark IV
A dependable full-frame body for higher image quality, landscapes and general travel photography.
Lenses
The lens kit is built around flexibility: wide airport interiors, everyday travel scenes, and telephoto reach for aviation and wildlife.
Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS II USM
My everyday walkaround range for terminals, city scenes, cruise ships and general destination coverage.
Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM
A sharp telephoto option for aircraft, details, distant landscapes and compressed travel scenes.
Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM
The long lens I reach for when filming or photographing planes, wildlife, ships and distant action.
Canon EF 1.4x III Extender
Useful when extra reach is more important than speed, especially for aviation and wildlife situations.
Canon RF-S 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM
A lightweight all-in-one travel zoom for the Canon R7 when I want to keep the kit simple.
Canon RF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM
Helpful for tight airport interiors, cabins, hotel rooms and wide establishing shots.
Canon RF 100-400mm f/5.6-8 IS USM
A lighter long-zoom option for travel days when I still want reach without carrying the heaviest lens.
Video Cameras
These small cameras handle the real-time walking footage, stabilized travel clips and compact video angles that larger cameras miss.
DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro
A rugged action camera for walkarounds, weather, ship decks and hands-free travel footage.
DJI Osmo Pocket 2
A small stabilized camera for smooth airport, hotel, street and cruise ship walkthroughs.
DJI Osmo 360
Used for immersive angles where a standard camera would miss the wider scene around me.
DJI Osmo Nano
A tiny option for low-profile capture and quick clips when I need to keep moving.
