Waterproof, touch screen LD screen back, wide angle lens. This is for rugged action shots and water sports.
A great portrait lens.
This alien octopi tripod makes a great travel tripod. Mounts up to DSLR cameras.
DigiPower Selfie Extreme Stick.
This stick extends to 5 feet and is enough to stabilize a shot.

What’s in My Gear Backpack Now
In Studio: Electronics & Software
Apple MacBook Air 11.6-Inch Laptop:
This laptop I take with me on all my travels. Light-weight, small, thin; it’s exactly what I need to conduct things on the fly.
Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 for Mac
I’ve been Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 for years. I’ll be needed ot upgrade to the creative cloud pretty soon. Adobe Premiere isn’t the most intuitive video editing software out there, but it does the job needed of professionals.
I always take 2 hard drives to back up my video and photos. Seagate is a highly recommended brand for stability. The weight is around 2x an iPhone 6
I always pack a USB card reader for transferring footage from my memory cards to my laptop/external hard drive.
Sandisk Extreme Portable SSD (2TB)
By far the smallest, lightest and rugged portable external drive I’ve owned yet! It’s an SSD vs HDD so storage is safe. Waterproof, dust and shock proof. Almost the size of a credit card. Read my review here.

Lets me watch or encode any video format & do quick screen grabs for thumbnail covers.
