Gear Flat Lay! (Ultimate Travel Photography & Videography Gear)

Gear Flat Lay from my recent trip to Hawaii!

Gear Flat Lay from my recent trip to Hawaii!

On my most recent adventure to Hawaii I took with me the largest amount of gear I've ever taken on a trip! My buddy and I were running all around the island with just a massive amount of gear! We got to talking and joking about how much stuff we had with us, and that we should take a cool flat lay picture, because I guarantee people are going to want to know what we shot everything with. Check out our Hawaii short film here “Playful Heart - Hawaii”. Also, Make sure to check out the comphrehensive list of all the gear we took on our trip!

My go-to camera setup when running around the island was the Sonya7sii paired with the metabones canon mount adapter and Canon 16-35mm f4 lens run on top of the Devin Graham edition glide cam. Other notable lenses and setups used were the Canon 24-70mm f2.8 lens and the Canon 70-200mm f2.8 lens. The 24-70mm was mainly used for closeup hand held and detailed shots while the 70-200 was used to capture distant and far away moments like waterfalls, trees, clouds etc. I also heavily used my Sonya7sii paired with the Sony/Zeiss 16-35mm f4 lens in my new Ikelite 8inch dome port underwater housing. Most all underwater shots were shot using this combination of camera, lens, and housing.

Zeiss Milvus Lenses Review!

With the recent destruction of my two Zeiss lenses I needed some replacements. After some bouncing around the web and various youtube searches, I came across the Zeiss Milvus Lens lineup. I loved my previous Zeiss lenses (Zeiss 21mm F2.8 ZE and Zeiss 50mm F2 ZE Makro). So I decided to essentially pick up the newer updated models of those lenses.

Zeiss 50mm f/2.0 Milvus ZE Macro Lens

Zeiss 50mm f/2.0 Milvus ZE Macro Lens

I’ve been very happy with them. Their build quality is exceptional, they feel rock solid in the hand and have beautiful optics and glass to couple that solid build. Along the solid build they are weather sealed which is a big plus! Along the mount of the lens they have a blue rubberized ring that protects the glass from outside elements like water and dust. The focus rings are buttery smooth and fluid, no jerky jerk moves or clicks when attempting to throw focus.

Just like the previous zeiss lenses, these Milvus lenses are manual focus lenses, so if you’re big on using autofocus for video or photo these lenses are not for you. I’ve never been one to use or trust autofocus, so this is not a problem for me! 

I’ve always loved the optics of zeiss lenses and the sharp image they produce, and these lenses are no different. These Milvus lenses are some amazing lenses especially for the price point. A couple of the lenses get upwards up $2k but others are just over the $1k mark which I feel is a great price given the overall quality and durability of these lenses!

 

 

The lenses are available in both canon and nikon mount. (I own the canon mount). Links to the exact lenses I own are listed below!
