Canon EOS R5 C

This camera is absolutely incredible. The 4k up to 120fps, 8k RAW, and much more. Cinematic videos, interviews, no matter what: this camera rocks.

Canon EOS R

I've got 2 of these cameras, they have great 1080p as well as 4k (with a crop) and having 3 cameras makes it possible to have a propper 3 camera setup for interviews and more.

The new M1 Max MacBook Pro is absolutely incredible. The battery runtime, the efficiency, the power — the best computer I have ever owned. Your computer is the one thing tto bring it all together, and it better be fun to use!

Canon RF 35mm f/1.8 IS STM Macro

Super light weight, razor sharp, and with shallow depth of field. This is a must have lins in my opinion. Helps make things look natural but you are not too far away from the camera. And it's really good for those portraits.

Atomos Ninja V

High quality monitor with video monitoring features, ProRes recording (including RAW) and more. Added bonus: cameras with record time limits can do over 30 minutes with this recorder.

2TB SSD for the Ninja V

The Atomos Ninja V needs these for storage. Thankfully they are much cheaper than getting SD Cards.

Atomos AtomX Cast

Live streaming with multiple cameras? The AtomX Cast combined with the Atomos Ninja V makes that possible while also recording on the SSD. It's a great package and works quite well. Upgrading your Zoom Classes, Live Streams, and more.

Aputure MC Lights

Great small colorful lights to set some accents. I run two of these.

Elgato Cam Link 4K (HDMI to USB capture card)

Doing some live streaming with a propper camera? This is a great solution to do so. Works nicely, only downside is that it makes the laptop fans scream for their lifes.

Oktava MK 012 Small Condenser Microphone

I was looking for a new microphone for my in studio work so I do not have to always hook up my Røde VideoMic NTG and then put it back onto my vlogging camera! I did tones of tests and the Oktava is the one I stuck with. It has great versatility with the different capsules and it sounds really good.

Røde SM4-R

Oh, yea, the Oktava MK-012 needs a shock mount! It's basically mandatory. I tried a cheap one and the Røde SM4-R and the SM4-R was the clear winner in this test!

Zoom F6

Working with 32bit float audio is a dream come true. It's basically like having RAW files for audio work. This is my go to podcast recorder and I also use it in my studio so I do not have to worry about the gain setting of my microphones while I am recording myself.

XLR Cable (Nylon Braided)

I love nylon braided cables so I was really happy when I found these for the XLR connection for my podcasting setup.

150W USB-C Charging Station

A charging station for my desk. 100W for the MacBook Charging, and another USB-C for other things, then two extra powerful USB-A charging ports. It's so important to have good, powerful, charging for your devices so you don't brick your batteries too fast.

2TB Samsung 980 PRO

This drive is almost overkill inside the Acasis USB 4.0 Housing. But it's the only one that I found which supports 3 GB / Second read and write. I love this for media creations.

ACASIS USB 4.0 M.2 NVME Housing

As a media creator, you need loads of fast storage to edit all the 4k and 8k video files. With this housing, you can use incredibly fast NVME SSD drives!

Angelbird CFExpress Card Reader

With the R5 C I also had to get a CFExpress Card and this is the reader. The benefit: CFExpress Cards are super fast in the read and write department. Runs smooth.

Apple AirPods Pro 2nd Gen

These are my favorite Apple headphones as of Sept. 2022! They have 6 hours of noise cancelation while listening to music and you can also pop them into the case for a charge and get up to 30 hours of music listening in total. Additionally, you have spacial audio, transparency mode and much more. They fit great and don't fall out of my ears and I'm just all around very happy with them.

Apple Watch Series 7 Titanium

I never owned an Apple Watch before but the Series 7 finally made me get one. It's a cool gadget featuring loads of health sensors, fitness and activity tracking, notifications, Siri, and more! So far, I would recommend it.

Bose Quiet Comfort 35

Editing video, photos, coding or just any work on the computer with other people or noises around? These are golden. I love the sound. I love the noise canceling. It's incredible. Get them! These are the best for planes and in coworking spaces or coffee shops. They have awesome sound quality, fold up, and are just generally awesome.

Canon AC Adapter Kit ACK-E6AC

When doing long filming sessions or even live streams a power adapter for the camera is something I can not live without. So here it is.

Feelworld T7 Monitor (for Teleprompter)

Ofcourse, for a Teleprompter you'll need a Monitor and this T7 is the best I found for a good price. It's big enough, has good resolution, and especially: it features a flip feature so you can mirror a computer monitor into the teleprompter and despite it being shown on a mirror, you actually can see everything like normal and use it as if you were using a normal computer screen!

Friction Arm

A helpful little tripod alternative for small things (aka microphones, and stuff). I love it.

National Geographic Carbon Fiber Travel Tripod

The new tripod on my side. It's really incredible what a difference it makes when you can actually stand in front of your tripod for filming — and ofcourse you can also stand behind the camera without being hunched over. This tripod is light weight, it's relatively small when packed, and has a great height of over 158cm when extended all the way.

Roost Laptop Stand

Whenever I am traveling or otherwise on the road working on my MacBook for a little longer, this is a life saver. It helps me situp straight and not hunch over my MacBook screen as bad. Obviously it's a great idea to combine this with the Magic Trackpad and Keybaord.

Samsung T7 Portable SSD

Durable, fast, external storage for my MacBook. These drives are great! If you really need speed, I'd go for the Acasis USB 4.0 Housing + the Samsung 980 Pro NVME drive… but for ease of use: the Samsung T7 or the SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD are great.

Teleprompter

Being able to see myself while filming right in the lense? A game changer for studio work. No display "slightly off to the side". It really makes producing courses and the like much easier!

Apple Magic Keyboard with Touch ID

I love this keyboard. I travel with it all the time and I use it when I am at home as well. It's super light weight and great to travel with. I have been using mine for 5+ years at this point and have been around the globe twice while using it in combination with my laptop travel stand and the Apple Magic Trackpad! Basically, that's my office on the go.

Apple Magic Trackpad 2

I tried the Magic Mouse for some time and used it when I had my first iMac, but since I have chosen to go with the Trackpad version for multiple reasons: it does not matter what groudn I am on, and the gestures are much more powerful!

USB Type-C Adapter

Just a little adapter to use oldschool USB devices.

USB Type-C Hub

Another of those new MacBook lineup dongles. This one gives me Charging, USB-C, oldschool USB, 2 Individual HDMI Displays, and a card reader!

Walkolution Kybun & Ära Stehtisch

Walking while working has been a huge topic for me starting in 2021 and this is an incredible manual treadmill (no electricity required). It's made out of mostly wood and extremely high quality. The standing desk is beautiful as well. I am walking tones more thanks to this and it really has helped me to be more creative as well.
