Camera & Drone Gear I Use

Capturing the scale of the mountains takes more than just a camera. It’s about lightweight gear that can handle long days on the trail while still delivering high-quality footage from reliable 1080p action shots to cinematic 4K aerial views. These are the cameras and drones I use on every journey.

DJI Neo 2

The DJI Neo 2 has completely changed how I capture my travels. Weighing next to nothing, it’s the perfect drone for solo hikers. I can launch it straight from my palm to get stunning 4K aerial shots of the landscape or use its AI tracking to follow me through the forest trails without even touching a controller. It’s incredibly compact, fitting easily into my side pocket, making it my go-to choice for capturing cinematic perspectives on every trek.

SJCAM SJ4000

Every great journey needs a witness, and the SJCAM SJ4000 has been mine since the very beginning. It’s the perfect 'no-nonsense' action camera for hikers who need something rugged and reliable without breaking the bank. Whether it’s mounted on my backpack strap or capturing underwater shots in a mountain stream, its 1080p recording and wide-angle lens deliver surprisingly crisp footage. It’s lightweight, incredibly easy to use, and comes with a waterproof housing that handles any weather condition.
