What's in my bag?

Photography Gear

When heading out on a photographic safari, having the right gear can mean the difference between capturing an unforgettable moment or missing it entirely. Over the years, I’ve fine-tuned my kit to ensure I’m prepared for anything that crosses my path.

This setup works for me, providing the perfect balance of versatility, reliability, and quality. Whether it's a once-in-a-lifetime encounter or the golden light of an African sunrise, my gear helps me bring the wild to life through photography and video.

Camera Bodies

Sony A7 IV – My primary camera, offering exceptional low light capabilities range and fast autofocus for wildlife photography. What I most like about the camera is that is build like a hybrid. For me, it's the ideal camera for seamlessly switching between photography and video.

Sony A7 III (Backup) – Reliable and versatile, always ready in case of emergencies.

Canon G7X Mark II – A compact powerhouse for quick shots and behind-the-scenes content.

Lenses & Accessories

Sony FE 100-400mm GM – My go-to telephoto lens for distant wildlife and birds. Razor-sharp with excellent reach, love this lens!

Sony FE 24-105mm G – A versatile lens, perfect for landscapes, portraits, and environmental shots. I sometimes switch to this lens for video if the animal is close to the vehicle.

Sony VG-C4EM Battery Grip – Ensures extended shooting time and better camera handling.

Storage & Power

6x Spare Batteries – You never know when you'll need extra power, especially in remote locations.

2x Sony 64GB SD Pro Tough UHS-II V90 300MB/s – High-speed, rugged SD cards for reliable storage in extreme conditions.

Other Equipment & Essentials

Camera Cleaning Kit – Keeping my gear clean is essential, especially in winter time when there is a lot of dust.

Tripod – For stability during low-light or long-exposure shots. But in all fairness, I barely use it. Only for stars.

Multiple External Hard Drives (Lacie Rugged) – Backing up files is critical while traveling. Last thing you want is loose your precious footage.

Vortex Diamondback 10x42 Binoculars – As a birding enthusiast, these are a must.

Post-Processing & Editing

Apple MacBook Pro – My mobile workstation for editing.

Adobe Lightroom Classic – My preferred software for processing and organizing photos.

DaVinci Resolve – Powerful video editing software for creating high-quality footage.
