All the cool kids list the hardware and software they use (uses.tech) so here is mine.

Peripherals
- Monitor: 4K 32″ Samsung – Newer models are avaiable. I have a few other monitors I also use depending on the situation.
- Keyboard: Skyloong GK75 – I liked it so much I bought a spare. I sometimes use a Ducky One 3 but it has a few sticky switches and I can’t be bothered to replace them.
- Mouse: Razer Naga X – I like all the buttons.
- Headphones:
- Airpods Pro – These are so reliable and sound great.
- SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro – Sound quality is amazing, quick swap battery that charges on the little dock thing is great.

Photography
- Body: Fujifilm X-T5 – Amazing camera, retro styling, easy access to configuration without having to go through digital menus.
- Lenses:
- Fujifilm XF 16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR – Probably the best lens that exists for the fuji system, like carrying 4 primes in one. Downside is the size and weight, but it’s more than worth it.
- Fujifilm XF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 R LM OIS WR – Absolute banger of a zoom lens! If we’re walking in the woods I generally have this lens on, it’s so useful.
- Straps:
- Peak Design Wrist Strap – I love the Peak Design system, so handy to switch between the wrist strap and neck strap below. If I don’t have a child holding my hand I’ll try and use the wrist strap.
- Peak Design Sliding Strap – I love the grippy option around the neck to switch between holding the camera more in place or letting in move a bit freely.
- Tripod: Manfrotto Befree – It’s light and stable. Though I don’t use a tripod much since getting the X-T5 as the image stabilisation is so good, still handy to have.
- Drone: DJI Mini 2 – Very easy to fly and good picture and video quality. I really want to use this more.
- Bag: Lowepro Flipside Trek BP 250 AW – I spent a stupid amount of time researching bags. This one has a waterproof cover, easy access to gear, and enough room to fit my camera, lenses, and drone with enough room left over for my lunch.
