Video Camera
Cameras are a big part of the final product. For video, I use my rigged out Canon EOS-M. Equipped with a V-mount battery for all day use and an external monitor for ease of use. I sometimes also use a follow focus for manual lens for a cleaner focus.



Photo Cameras
For digital photos, I use my Nikon D90, nothing fancy with that. For film photo, I use my Minolta SR-T 102, and I differ on film stock, but most of them are Kodak ColorPlus or Kodak UltraMax.
Lenses
I personally believe that lenses play a bigger role in the final image then the camera itself. A camera brings specs, nothing more... A lens brings beautiful colors and images. On my video camera (Canon EOS-M), I use two lens, first is my Minolta Rokkor-PG MC 50mm and second is my Minolta Rokkor MD 75-200mm. Both have the same mount, the Minolta MC/MD mount. I pair those lens with a Minolta MC/MD to Canon EOS-M lens adapter. Both don't have auto-focus, which isn't a big deal in my opinion. For the Nikon D90, its has a 18-200mm Nikkor Lens and the Minolta SR-T 102 uses the same lens as the Canon EOS-M



Left Lens: Minolta 75-200mm
Right Lens: Minolta 50mm


Audio
For audio, I use a shotgun mic on my camera, the mic I use is a Rode VideoMic Go II. I think it's a really go option, especially for outdoor videos, like backpacking where light weight is very, very nice. It only weight at around 150 grams (5.2 ounces) and is phantom powered equaling it doesn't use/need a battery inside it, it uses the camera as power. So I very nice mic for outdoor projects. I can also plug a USB-C for 24-bit recording (compared to 16-bit recording on my camera = higher quality) to my phone.

Tripod
Everyone needs a good study tripod for interviews, to stabilize a big lens and more. I inherited a Manfrotto 190 tripod, with a ball head.




That's all the gear I use on almost every project I do. Hope this helps you out somehow.
