Gear I use and recommend.

Starlink Mini

The Starlink Mini is my internet on location. I built a custom case for it that runs off 12V, 110V or Gold Mount batteries, so I can power it from whatever the set has. I also added a PoE Ethernet port to drive an external access point when the shoot spreads out and needs more range. It's also affordable to own and to rent. Between jobs the service sits in Standby Mode for $5 a month, and when a shoot comes up I switch it to a full plan for as long as I need it.

Ubiquiti UniFi Express 7

The UniFi Express 7 is the router I build my on-set networks around. It supports Wi-Fi 7, the top speeds and range are excellent with the 6GHz band.

03

DJI SDR Wireless Transmitter Set

The DJI SDR Transmission is how I get a live feed to clients and art directors on set. It’s easy to set up, the range is long enough that I’m not tethered to video village, and it’s light on power, so a small external battery runs it for a long stretch. It also works with an iPad, so a client can watch from anywhere on set without a monitor cart.

04

Glyph Tech SSD Hard Drives

Glyph drives are what I trust with client files. They’re fast, they hold their speed through long offloads instead of throttling halfway through, and in years of use they’ve been rock solid. Data recovery is included in the warranty. I buy mine from Fotocare here in NYC.

05

Area51 Tether Co

Extremely reliable tether cables. Just make sure you pick the right one for your camera: for Fuji, go with the Los Alamos PRO+; for Canon or Nikon, go with the Los Alamos XL Illumination Turbo.

01

Capture One Pro

02

One Screen Local Remote Viewer

It’s fairly new, but it’s already my go-to alternative to Capture One’s Live for Studio. Setup is easy, it’s been very reliable, and it has a lot of the options I’ve been waiting for Capture One to add. The one downside so far: it drains the iPad’s battery faster than Live for Studio. Don’t forget to grab the companion app from Github
