Shop My Travel Gear

First I’ll go over my camera equipment. I spent multiple hours researching which camera I should get. With so many different options I finally landed on the Sony Alpha 6100.

I purchased the package that comes with two lenses, 16-55mm and 55-210mm, this was key for getting some of my best shots and great for starting off.

I love this camera because it has built in WiFi and can link up to my phone so the pictures can be uploaded immediately. Not needing a laptop to upload pictures has been amazing!

I didn’t upgrade my lens for three years and then recently decided to go with the sigma 56mm f/1.4 and I’m loving it so far. Click here for my upgraded lens.

DJI Mavic Air 2 – $988

I highly suggest buying the package. Extra propellers, batteries and a case are very important when it comes to getting premium content and keeping the drone damage free.

GO PRO

The Go Pro is a staple piece when it comes to traveling. I’ve had about 6 Go Pros over the years and I love every picture and video I’ve gotten from them.

This tiny piece of machinery can capture underwater photo & video and it is great for vlogging when you are starting out.

CAMERA BAG

Camera Backpack – $77.99

I did a ton of research on camera backpacks and everything just seemed like too much. They were all super expensive (over $200) and felt like more then I needed especially at the beginning of my journey.

I finally found the Lowepro Tahoe BP 150 and it was absolutely perfect for what I needed. This backpack isn’t too big and very light weight, so great when I’m hiking.

I fit my Sony Alpha, 3 lenses, DJI Mavic Drone and my Go Pro attached to selfie stick. I put my tripod in the side pocket and buckle it in and a water bottle on the other side. There’s room for my cords and chargers in the front pockets. When hiking I’m able to fit food, flashlight, tissues and first aid kit.
