Two Weeks, Two FULL Camera Bags - Everything We Used To Shoot MAUZY
If you follow us anywhere online you know that we haven’t shut up about our two week photo roadtrip across the island of Newfoundland, our documentary MAUZY, and our photo book LOL. We had two goals, 1: Make our longest piece of video content for our channel, 2: Shoot enough images for a photography book in just two weeks. Spoiler, we did it! In today’s post we’re outlining everything in our camera bags to make the book and doc happen!
Note: You do not need this amount/this specific brand of gear to pull off a project like this. We had it, so we brought everything since both of us were shooting.

The Kit
We’re going to keep things short and breif, more info can be found in our video.
Bags and Cases
Bags pretty much stay the same for us for most trips (especially if we are carrying a lot). Chris was rocking the PM X Nomatic 35L Travel Camera bag, and I had the PM X Nomatic Everyday Camera bag.
Cameras and Lenses
We shot our entire video on the Sony A7S3, and photos were shot on the Sony A7R4 & A74. Lenses were interchangeable, we used them for both photos and videos.
memory cards for these cameras:
128GB Sony Tough SD for A7S3 and A7R4
256GB ProGrade V90 SD for A7S3 and A7R4
SanDisk Extreme 64GB Micro SD for GoPro
Filters for these cameras:
Microphones
It’s really important for us to have redundancy in the kit, not only with camera bodies but with mics as well. Both of these do not require a battery and are powered by the camera.
Drones and FPV
We did what we tell people never to do; bring camera equipment on an important trip without getting to know it first! It all worked out though. We added a new commercial drone to the kit for this trip and Chris also brought along his trusty FPV drone. He did a full post on all of the gear he uses to build drones which you can find here.
DJI Air2S with Smart Controller
Charge Kit
Hexagon Power Bar
Sony Battery Chargers
Accessories
Zhiyun Weebill3 (we didn’t end up using it)
Sony Wireless Remote Commander
Peak Design X Lizzie Peirce Camera Strap
Maintenance
Kim Wipes
Sensor Cleaning Wand
Lens cloths
Despite being prepared with all of this, our sensors got filthy and we didn’t clean them on the fly. We also lost a button on the top of our A7S3 and the eye cup on our A7R4.
