Everything on this page is kit I actually own and use, filmed in my videos and tested in a house with four kids. If it did not earn its spot, it is not on here.
My main camera. A few years old now and it still shoots every review I publish.
The b-cam. Small enough to leave running on a second angle while I film on the EOS R.
The wireless mic I clip on for every video. Audio sorted in about ten seconds.
Studio lighting I control from the desk. Set it once and stop thinking about it.
My footage drive. Small, quick, and it has never lost me a clip.
The desk I work and film at every day. Steady under a full studio setup, even at standing height.
Height-adjustable side table next to the desk. Overflow spot for gear when I am filming.
Keeps the desk looking tidy on camera and hides the cables I have not dealt with yet.
A floating pen. Honestly a bit of a desk ornament, but it gets asked about in every setup video.
Runs in the nursery around the clock. Quiet enough that we forget it is on.
Does the floors while I edit. With four kids in the house, it earns its keep daily.
What I edit on, and what goes in the carry-on. Comfortable for a full day.
Speakers through the house. The music follows you from room to room and the kids fight over the queue.
My keys stopped rattling around my pocket the day this arrived.
The bag I grab for school runs and shoot days. Fits a camera, the mic and the snacks.
The one bit of gaming hardware on this page. Bought with my own money, shared between four kids, still going.
