Discover My Essential Wildlife Gear

Dive into a handpicked selection revealing the tools and moments behind wildlife adventure and travel expertise.

Cameras

My main camera and workhorse, while it’s not perfect (hello rolling shutter), it does the job well and I love it.

Amazon

WEX

Awesome action camera and one that is now taking over doing a lot of my filming for the vlogs when I am using the A7iv for photos.

Amazon

WEX

Ideal camera for filming yourself, as you can reframe your video in post, allowing you to focus on the wildlife.

Amazon

WEX

My phone and ideal pocket camera for when I am out exploring as it is always with me. Also, handy for filming when I am using my main camera.

Amazon

Though it might not get used that often, it does come in handy for capturing new and interesting angles.

Lenses

pexels hamzaurann 13343353

recently got this lens used from WEX, and it has now become my main wildlife lens. While this lens is pretty hefty, it gets the job done and 600mm is brilliant for my wildlife images

Amazon

WEX

My favourite lens EVER!! This is what I use when photographing Skylar and sports. The wide aperture allows for some super bokeh and the AF is amazing.

Amazon

WEX

My walk about lens and main one used to create videos. I love this lens for landscapes as well as product photography and some top down doggy photos

Amazon

WEX

Sometimes 200 mm isn’t enough, that is where this 2x teleconverter comes in. using this takes my 70-200 lens to 140-400mm and allows me to get a bit closer to my subject. This is a cheaper and lighter option than getting a longer lens and if I ever go travelling over seas I lean towards taking this over the heaver 200-600 G

Amazon

Accessories

My favourite bag for carrying all my gear! This bag isn’t too big (I am 5ft 3”) and features a hip strap to help with fatigue and a handy rain cover.

Amazon

WEX

Recently upgraded to the Mic 2, as this can bluetooth directly into my Osmo Action 5 Pro and make my editing so much easier as I no longer need to sync audio.

Amazon

WEX

Superb on camera shotgun mic and can be used via USBC for voice-overs when editing on my PC.

Amazon

WEX

For Long exposure photography and when I need something a bit sturdier for filming, this is my go-to tripod.

WEX

Great mini tripod for filming myself. Acts as a selfy stick and tripod for my videos and can even hang off gates and fences.

Amazon

Ideal for carrying around my camera when out on a photo walk as I can keep my hands free, but have easy access to my camera when needed.

Amazon

Wex

Awesome affordable gimbal head, great for taking the weight of the lens and allowing you to get stable footage and images.

accesories
DSC07647

My favourite accessory I own! Attached to my camera bag 24/7 and allows me quick access to my camera on walks. (Don’t use with a really heavy lens as this will put too much pressure on the lens mount).

Amazon

WEX

When filming outside this is a must to keep my shutter speed at an ideal speed for filming. Used with my 24-70 lens.

Amazon

WEX (newer version)

When I want to get that smooth water effect you see in images, this is what I use. This is a magnetic 10 stop ND filter allowing me to really slow down my shutter speed, great for landscape photography.

Amazon

WEX

A circular polariser used to help reduce reflections in images and also adds contrast. This is also magnetic which is really handy for quickly attaching to my lens.

Amazon

WEX

When you are out in the field spare batteries are a must! I have 3 of these which allow me to keep filming and photographing all day.

Amazon

WEX

I use this superfast and reliable card in slot 1 of my Sony A7iv.

Amazon

WEX

Fast cards are a must when shooting 4k video and these are my go to. Reliable and fast, I have 4 of these to make sure I can keep filming all day long.

Amazon

Wex

If you have fast cards, you need a fast card reader. UHS-ii and CFExpress type A compatible this is my card reader of choice.

Amazon

WEX

Clothing

While it’s not a piece of clothing, it is one of my best buys of 2024. This seat pad is comfortable, waterproof and lightweight making this ideal for when I am sitting out with my camera for long periods of time.

Amazon

Great bit of kit to help you blend into nature and some closer encounters with wildlife. I got mine from New Forest Clothing as they were the cheapest around (benefit of being an S is that it’s usually on sale)

Amazon

New Forest Clothing

Superb on camera shotgun mic and can be used via USBC for voice-overs when editing on my PC.
