Here’s a rundown of all the gear I use as a content creator that keeps me getting things done efficiently.

I mainly stick with Canon cameras and lenses, but I mix in some gear from other brands based on what I'm working on.

Hope this list helps spark some ideas for your own gear choices!

The gear I use

Canon EOS R digital camera with the lens removed, showing the sensor and electronic contacts.

Canon EOS R

This is my primary camera, and tit handles every type of content perfectly - photos, videos, long-form projects, and short-form content.

Canon RF 16mm f/2.8 STM camera lens

Canon 16mm f/2.8

My preferred lens for street photography. It's excellent for night-long exposures in small, tight spaces.

Canon camera lens with a focal length range of 24 to 240 millimeters.

Canon 24-240mm f/4-6.3mm

The do-it-all lens. I carry it with me all the time as it’s pretty versatile. 

Sigma 35mm camera lens with focus and aperture markings.

Sigma Art 35mm f/1.4

Although I don't use it often, I truly enjoy it whenever I do. It is a bit heavy, but it creates beautiful art portraits and nature shots.

A compact black body camera with a large lens on the top and the label 'Insta360 X5' on the front.

Insta 360 x5

It lets me capture moments in every direction at once. It’s creative, fun, and gives me so much freedom to tell a story about how the photo happened.

A teal and navy Osprey Daylite 30 duffel bag with multiple compartments and zippers for outdoor or travel use.

Osprey Daylite Duffel 30L

Lightweight, versatile, and just easy to live with. It works as a duffel, backpack, or over-the-shoulder bag, allowing me to adapt on the go. Whether I’m carrying gear, clothes, or a mix of both, it keeps things simple and organised without feeling bulky.

Excellent lens filter that provides greater creative control in varying light conditions and allows for long exposure shots during the day.

Black camera bag with adjustable strap and zipper, featuring a small logo that reads 'GOMATIC'.

Gomatic/Nomatic x Peter McKinnon Sling 9L

Compact sling that still fits all the essentials, perfect for taking city shots. Practical, sleek, and ready for everyday use. Make carrying gear effortless.

Set of three circular lens filters labeled STAR 4, STAR 6, and STAR 8, stacked in front of a beige box labeled URTH for camera lens filters.

I mainly use it for street photography, especially at night, to create a range of starburst effects.

Black backpack with multiple zippered compartments and padded shoulder straps.

Gomatic/Nomatic x Peter McKinnon Backpack 18L

Perfect mix of compact and functional. It keeps my camera gear safe and organised while still leaving space for everyday essentials.
