Every year I look forward to making this video: my holiday gift guide, timed perfectly for Black Friday. In this 2024 edition, I’m running through a list of stuff I actually use—things that make shooting, editing, and daily carry a little smoother. It’s a mix of practical “you’ll use this every day” picks and creator gear that’s genuinely improved my workflow. I start with everyday essentials like the Misc Goods Co Slim Tuck wallet (it’s been a staple on my list for three years now) and the Nomad Tracker Card—because I’m the guy who always loses his wallet. From there I get into creator/photography gear I’ve been loving lately: a customizable Woodgate rope strap that works with Peak Design anchors, the Shortstache PolarPro Everyday Filter that basically lives on my lens, and the Brevite Jumper backpack that doesn’t scream “expensive camera gear inside.” To round it out, I cover the less glamorous but super useful stuff: a multi-port power block for charging everything, a budget-friendly ZG Cine V-mount battery that’s been awesome for my a6400 rig, mini friction arms that I use constantly, my go-to Godox RGB tube light, and two headphone options depending on your budget. The goal is simple: give you a list of gifts that won’t just sit in a drawer—these are things I actually reach for all the time.
