MY PHOTOGRAPHY GEAR
Nikon Z6
Announced in 2018, Nikon Z6, together with Z7, are the first mirrorless cameras of Nikon. I am always an adventurous person who don't mind trying out new systems. And it didn't disappoint. I have been shooting in the Nikon system for 10 years now. It has the best ergonomics out of the cameras I have tried out. The colours on this camera are amazing. Its in-body stabilisation and its robustness blow my mind. It is super versatile for both photos and videos. It has been my main camera for all my hikes and travels for the past 4 years.
Nikon Z fc
My backup camera used to be Sony a7ii, which didn't make sense at all as everything else I own is in the Nikon system. But I wasn't in the financial position to buy a new camera at all. Lucky me won Zfc with its kit lens from a Nikon competition and that's how I fully switched to Nikon. Obviously it's not gonna be as good as my Z6, but it does its job. With the flip screen, I mainly use it for vlogging and shooting B-rolls.
NIKKOR Z 24-120mm f/4 S
24-120 is a focal length I swear by. Though some people have doubts over this lens due to it being a bit slower at f/4, you're not gonna need the f/2.8 if you're shooting landscapes anyways. This is a very convenient lens for video shooting too. It is lightweight enough to bring on hikes. I don't need to switch lens all the time. And I love the bokeh and reach at 120mm. Almost all my photos are shot on this lens and it is rarely off my Z6.
NIKKOR Z 20MM F/1.8 S
People always talk about how essential it is to have a wide-angle lens for landscape photography. While I love shooting landscapes with a telephoto approach, having a wide-angle fast lens would be better for astrophotography. This prime lens isn't as expensive as the Z 14-24mm f/2.8 S but is still super sharp and lightweight. I found it useful for shooting waterfalls in Iceland and even some portraits in super tight situations, like indoor events in Hong Kong.
AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G
This is the oldest lens in my collection. I have been using it before I switched to Z6, thus the F mount. Back when I knew nothing about videography and photography, I joined a videography club in college, where I got my hands on a 50mm prime lens. I immediately fell in love of shooting videos with it and got one for myself. It is super cheap and weighs practically nothing. The bokeh is dreamy. Great lens for city lights and videos.
NIKKOR Z DX 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3 VR
I really wanted to get the 100-400mm lens for telephoto landscapes, but I sadly couldn't afford it. Then this lens came along, at 1/10 of the price of the aforementioned lens. Even though it's not as sharp, it's super lightweight and the furthest reach is at 375 mm equivalent. I was able to be more creative with this lens.
NIKKOR Z 24-50mm f/4-6.3
I won this lens from a competition held by Nikon Hong Kong and was super thrilled to finally own my first Z-mount lens. It is the smallest and cheapest full-frame Z-mount lens out there at the time. It is not particularly useful for my landscape work. I mainly use it at riskier situations, like on a kayak trip where it would get wet, or on my Mauritania trip where I knew it would get covered with iron ore.
Peak Design Carbon Fibre Travel Tripod
My last tripod wasn't great. I dreaded using a tripod because of it. But having a tripod is an essential for shooting solo hiking videos, doing astrophotography and timelapses. So when this tripod went on sale, I decided that it would be worth it to spend more on it so I don't need to upgrade every again. I did not regret buying it at all. Not only is it filled with amazing features, it also comes with a lifetime warranty. I dropped a knob on a hike and I got one sent to me within the week with no questions asked.
Wandrd PRVKE 21
After using it for more than 2 years, I can confidently say that this is the perfect backpack for me. The design is slick and looks great that I bring it everywhere I go; to school, to work, even on my multi-day treks. I was pleasantly surprised that it was able to fit all my camping gear in it.
DJI Air 2S
Our DJI mini frustrated us a lot. It used to lose its signal a lot in Hong Kong. So we decided to upgrade to an air 2S. The connection is way better. The video quality blow me away. Really couldn't ask for more
Assembled! Nov 2023
