PHOTO & VIDEO EQUIPMENT
Knowing how to use your gear well will matter more than what gear you have.
If you’re passionate about cameras, lenses, gimbals, drones, lights, and gadgets, or if you suffer from Gear Acquisition Syndrome (aka G.A.S.) like me—you’ve definitely come to the right place!
I’ll be honest. I’ve spent waaay too much of my hard-earned money on gear ( who hasn’t? ). But since photography/video/editing is my profession, I justify it as investing in the tools.
But remember, owning the latest camera or the most expensive lens won’t make you a better photographer or videographer. These are simply tools designed to support your creativity and bring your vision to life.
Since I get asked all the time about the photo/video/computer gear I use, I’ve made a list with some of my favorite gear.

COMPUTER
PC
My main workstation for photo and video editing, gaming, and everyday tasks. The primary advantage of a PC is the ability to swap out parts and upgrade. Below is a list of my PC components.
CPU: Intel Core i7-13700K
MBO: Gigabyte Z790 AERO G
GPU: Nvida RTX 4070 Gigabyte Super
RAM: 2x 32GB Kingston DDR5 5200Mhz
NVME M.2 SSD: 4x Samsung 990 Pro
HDD: 2x Seagate Ironwolf 12TB
COOLER: Noctua NH-U12A
POWER SUPPLY: Corsair 850W RMe
CASE: Fractal Torrent Compact RGB
KEYBOARD & MOUSE: Logitech MX Keys S
MONITOR 1: LG 4343UD79” 4K
SCREEN: XGimi Horizon Ultra 4K Projector
EXTERNAL SSD: 3x Samsung T7 Shield
MAC
Unless you plan to game or do heavy rendering, Macs are excellent for photo and video editing due to their combination of hardware, software optimization, and ecosystem advantages.
Remember that you won’t be able to upgrade components later, and RAM and extra storage space are quite expensive.
Basic Budget Version: Mac Mini M4
Best Mid Value: Mac Mini M4 Pro
LAPTOP
If you travel or work in the field, laptops are a good option. In my experience, Macs are the best choice for photo and video editing.
If you need something light and portable, the latest MacBook Air is the way to go.
If you need a portable working powerhouse, the latest MacBook Pro is an excellent option.
GADGETS
XGIMI Horizon Ultra Projector
XGIMI Horizon Ultra is 4K long-throw projector with Dolby Vision. I don’t want to bore you with technical stuff so I am just going to say straight away. I love this thing!
I don’t watch or own TV, but I am crazy about movies and I love going to the cinema. There is nothing better than watching movies in a theatre on a big screen. This projector will make you feel like you have a small theatre in your home.
Besides watching movies you can connect your PC /Console to edit videos or play games. Trust me, it looks amazing! I bought it a year ago, and it’s still my favorite gadget.
