CAMERA GEAR
MAIN CAMERA-My primary camera for cinematic hiking and storytelling — compact, durable, and incredible in low light.
MICROPHONE-Clear, reliable audio in any condition — because good sound makes or breaks a video.
LENS-Small, sharp, and versatile — ideal for landscapes, trail footage, and capturing the full scene without extra weight.
TRIPOD-Lightweight, sturdy, and packs easily — perfect for time-lapses or self-filmed summit shots.
ACTION CAMERA-My go-to for fast, wide shots in snow, rain, or when I’m moving quick on the trail.
