Camera Gear
Camera Gear - Owned
Cameras - I shoot up to 4K 120 FPS using these cameras - Sony A7siii, Sony A7iii, Sony ZV-E1, DJI Osmo Action 3.
Lenses - Samyang 12mm f2.8, Sony 16-35mm f4 Zeiss, Sony 20mm f1.8, Samyang 24mm f2.8, Sony 24-240mm, Sigma 50mm f1.4, Samyang 85mm t1.5, Samyang 100mm f2.8 Macro, Samyang 135mm f1.8, Sony 200-600mm f5.6-6.3
Drones - I use a custom <250g drone that allows me to produce 4K UHD and Cinema DNG sequences safely and legally ALMOST anywhere. It’s tiny, easy to use, and very low-risk. It weighs less than a small pigeon.
Grip - DJI Ronin RS3 Pro gimbal, GVM GT-60D motorised slider, Hague SM4, and far too many tripods and mounts for all kinds of scenarios.

Doing a bit of POV woodland photography and video with a Samyang 85mm T1.5 cine lens, an absolute bokeh monster, that probably doesn’t belong in the woods….
I stuck my Samyang 85mm T1.5 lens on a Sony A7iii, in a DJI Ronin RS3 Pro, on a GVM GT-60D camera slider, with superb results. A video.
The bokeh monster! What an absolute beast of a lens the Samyang 135mm f1.8 is. Bonkers bokeh, or “blur”, for the non-sophisticated amongst us. A video review.
A video review of this fine but rather unusual lens, and quite possibly one that is now a bit of a favorite of mine, the Samyang 85mm T1.5 Cine. Samyang, Rokinon. Whatever.
Video testing a DJI Ronin RS3 Pro with a Sony A7iii and Sony 200-600mm lens. Bonkers. Absolutely bonkers.
Video testing the DJI Ronin SC by running through the woods with a few different lenses. The Samyang 12mm Fisheye, the Sony Zeiss 16-35mm f4, the Sigma Art 50mm f1.4 and a wild card, the DJI Osmo Action 3.
A video review of the K and F Concept 4K trail camera with sample video and pictures. This is a small, robust, waterproof and cheap wildlife trail camera capable of recording high-resolution daylight footage and 1080p IR night vision footage.
A video talking about shooting landscape photography with a Sony 200-600mm lens and some cherry bakewells.
Please click this to take a look at my wangle. To be specific, it’s an ultra-wangle, but don’t let that bother you. This is a Samyang 12mm f2.8 lens video review.
I swapped my Manfrotto for a tortoise! The Benro Tortoise 35C, so here’s a thrilling tripod review to go with it. #Tortoise
Sony 200-600mm Lens - An Absolute Beast!
The Sony 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 G OSS lens is a versatile and high-performance zoom lens designed for Sony E-mount cameras.
Are you a birder? If so, you’ll know all about it already.
Are you a crusty old veteran cameraman who wants to know a little more about this beast? Read on…!
Talking about the Sony 20mm f1.8 lens, my main lens for capturing landscape timelapse sequences with a Sony A7iii.
The Sony 16-35mm f4 Zeiss lens is definitely a favourite of mine. It’s one of my most used lenses on my Sony A7iii, and it has accompanied me on many a hike up into the mountains. A lot of my videos over on YouTube have used this lens a lot in their creation, like this one, Winter Camping in Snowdonia.
I took a Sony A7riii and the 16-35mm Zeiss up into the snowy winter mountains of Snowdonia for a couple of days. Hopefully, it’ll give you a bit of a feel for the type of shot that is achievable.
