ESSENTIAL GEAR

This is my essential gear list—basically the stuff I actually reach for when I’m shooting cinematic shorts or doing reviews. If you’re building a kit on a budget, this helps you skip the random junk and focus on what matters.

Pros

+Curated list to simplify buying decisions
+Good starting point for photo/video kits

Cons

-Some items may be overkill for beginners
-Availability and pricing can change
