What is in my camera bag as a travel content creator?

Main Camera: Canon R5 This is what I use for all my professional and casual photography. It’s a beast of a camera – you can create a cinema grade film with this! However it is pretty heavy, I recommend for professionals.
Canon RF 24-105 mm lens This lens attaches to the Canon R5 with no adapter required and works well as an everyday lens. The 24 – 70 mm is a superior option.
Fujifilm x – t30 This was my first ever camera and great as a beginner. Fujifilm cameras are great for street and profile photography. You can create “recipe” filters to add a distinct taste to your photos. If I were to purchase today, I would opt for the x-t5.
Go Pro Hero 10 An action camera, great for capturing underwater content. I love the wide angle and that it’s waterproof. The audio quality is not great and it doesn’t match well with low light settings.
DJI Mini 3 pro drone After my iPhone and Canon, this is the single device that elevated my content to another level. Sometimes when travelling, the best angle is from above! Less than 250g, so very portable. I recommend purchasing the Fly More kit to get extra batteries and a protective bag.
Sony ZV- 1 My main vlogging camera, the quality is supreme. It’s not too big and has good audio. However, I wish the videos weren’t so cropped in.
iPhone 15 Pro Max Very multifunctional phone that’s compatible with most editing applications such as Lightroom and Capcut. I really like the camera on this as well and use it for most of my short form videos.
DJI OSMO 6 This is a phone gimbal, which essentially helps you create really smooth videos with your phone without too much shake. I used this a lot when I had my old phone but it’s not really necessary for the iPhone 15 Pro Max. That being said, it’s still a nice addition to my camera bag because I can use it to take panning videos of myself when travelling solo.
Sandisk SSD 2TB This is what I use to store my content – I even offload my iphone footage onto this! This is because when I’m travelling, I do not have continuous wifi to back up to the cloud and could risk losing so much footage if my phone got stolen. It’s pricy because it’s a ssd, not a hard drive but it has no moving parts like a hard drive so it’s less likely to break.
Manfrotto Befree Advanced Tripod This tripod is very sturdy and flexible. It’s strong enough to carry my professional Canon camera, but I also use it with my vlogging camera and iPhone (with an adapter) if I need a top down angle.
TONEOF 60″ Selfie Stick Tripod I love how compact this tripod is, it fits into most of my handbags. It’s easy to set up – you just pull to extend making it great for quick shots using my phone.
Amazon Basics Tripod A lightweight camera tripod which is a simpler and cheaper alternative to the manfrotto. I used this with my Fujifilm camera
