SECTION 6: Other

Gear Type Use Notes
Small rig Freeblazer Tripod Stable, pro-level tripod More expensive than a photography tripod but well worth it.
DJI Mini 3 Pro Drone Used for getting aerial photo and video. The mini 3 pro is great for travelling with but for commercial would I would recommend a larger drone.
GoPro HERO 12 Action Cam BTS shots, underwater or dangerous shots. I use this mainly to attach to weird things and get unique angles.
