Having built and run Taste of Massachusetts for over ten year, other influencers always ask me about equipment. This is my one stop shop for all the items I use, daily for travel blogging and food blogging.
I hope this helps you on your journey.
Viltrox Panel LightÂ
This is my go to panel light, and it works best for food photography because it doesn’t shine, it illuminates. You can adjust both the brightness and the warmth level of light. It mounts easily on all the other items I have, making it versatile. The battery packs are also excellent (next)
Viltrox Battery PackÂ
These batteries are helpful because they can charge with a USB C or on their charger base. They also have a power display so you can always know how much of a charge you have left. I have at least three of these.
Nulaxy Dual Folding Cell Phone Stand
Because this is small, slim and light weight, if I have an impromptu shoot in a tight space, I can pull this out quickly and still have both hands free. It is also helpful when you are trying to be incognito.
EUCOS 62″ Tripod Â
I have two of these, their top mount can be removed and I can mount a light on them as well, which is extremely helpful if I need to create studio lighting. The tripod base is sturdy and the top mount for smartphones allows for getting the perfect angle/ Again, also a space saver.
Smartphone Stabilizer Grip
This is actually the upgraded version of what I have. The key here is you can use two hands to get better angles while it houses your phone for walk through shoots of hotels or attractions. It also has multiple ways to connect lights, microphones and to mount it on a tripod.
Hollyland Lark M2 Wireless Lavalier Microphone
Full disclosure, I steal these from my wife all the time. They attach to your shirt or lapel by magnet making them versatile, and the quality is clear and true. They also do an excellent job limiting background noise
