PACK FOR THE DAY

What comes
along.

The journey decides what goes in the bag. This is my working equipment, not a suggestion to carry seven cameras on every walk.

How I film solo

The Sony A7R IV is the main stills camera; the Pocket 3 is the primary solo video camera. The other cameras give me different options, from travelling lighter to a wearable point of view. Each adventure will list only what I actually took.

A STARTING POINT, NOT A PACKING RULE

Less kit. More attention.

A photography walk

Start with the Sony A7R IV. Add the Pocket 3 when the walk also has a film to tell.

A longer, lighter day

The RX100 keeps stills compact. Take one video camera only if the story needs it.

Changing weather

The Action 4 is the video option for rougher conditions. The day and the forecast still decide what goes in the bag.
