📸 Equipment
(*Note that I value lightweight, compact and budget friendly options because of the type of travels I normally do)

* iPhone 13 Max – https://amzn.to/4bLmQU9
I have moved over to the iPhone for most of the ground footage – it actually takes amazing videos and my phone is always close by. Soon I will upgrade to iPhone 15 or 16 when it comes out mostly because of the stabilisation features and quality upgrades.

* DJI Mini 4 Pro – https://amzn.to/3W8MVI5
I absolutely love this drone – its small, compact and provides amazing footage.

* GoPro – https://amzn.to/3W88ok9
I still use the GoPro for the ‘on the go’ shots. It has great stablization, battery life and quality.
