FILMING & PRODUCTION

Some Tips...

When I started working in the Entertainment industry over 25 years ago, The thought that I would be traveling all over the world doing video or travel blogging never crossed my mind! With the opportunities that I am blessed to have, I wanted to take advantage of the content I could capture.

So here is some of the gear that i like to use, If possible i will give you links to the gear, and If I can get you some discounts I will...

If i get any sort of commission from you purchasing through me, please note it helps me to continue to build this site and create new content!

Thank You ...

MY Favorite Gear

These are some of the things i use when filming ...

IPHONE

IPHONE PRO MAX

I Love Iphones!!! Im not going to lie. I have had and will continue to use the iphone for all my videography.

I first started with the iphone 12 and fell in love. I jumped to the iphone 13 Pro Max and ended up buying two of them.

I like to skip a year now, and upgrade on the odd years... So I now own (2) 13 Pro Max (2) 15 Pro Max and I just bought the new (1) 17 Pro Max ... I'll be adding a second 17 Pro Max to my collection next year.

I swear by the iphone, I also have regular cameras but the versatility of the iPhones and the amazing quality of cameras make this one of my go to film equipment that i use.

Also i love the iphone becase working at events and festivals Its easy to get Laser Damage on your sensors, and with apple care, its a $250 damage claim and a quick fix!

BEAST CAGE

IPHONE CASE

One of my most important things i use in filming, is called a BEAST GRIP. When it comes to professional filmmaking and photography camera cages, This is my go to! I started with Beast Gear on my iphone 13 Pro Max, then jumped to the iPhone 15 Pro Max and iPhone 17 Pro Max.

what makes these cages stand out is the All-aluminum build, precise fit, standardized mounts, multiple lens mount options. They are by far one of the most versatile cages. When I pull out the beast cage, it no longer looks like just an Iphone. People will look at me and say dam thats a bad ass camera rig setup you have!

JAPAN

DECEMBER 2025 / MAY 2026

Exploring Japan during the Cherry Blossom Festival was one of the highlights of my year back in 2024. I will be making a quick stop at TOKYO DISNEY / DISNEY SEA to enjoy the amazing park again before traveling from Tokyo to Osaka Japan riding the fastest Bullet Train in the world, And filming MT FUJI as I go. It will be exciting next year to get a chance to go to my 25 Anniversary reunion of working at UNIVERSAL STUDIOS, JAPAN I cant wait to see how much the park has changed and I hope to see some of my fellow cast members at the reunion!
