I want to travel light, be completely mobile, be able to do my editing and always be connected. Well at least as connected as possible. Since signal or wifi isn’t available everywhere. My (electronic) gear is my phone, camera, powerbank and laptop. Design studio in a backpack.
MacBook Air laptop
I had a pretty much brandnew MacBook Pro. But it was 16 inch and weighs 2 kilo. For me that’s too big and too heavy to carry in my backpack. So this year I bought the new MacBook Air. It’s 13 inch. and weighs 1,24 kilo. While still powerfull enough to do my video editing.
Apple iPhone 15
For photography I mostly use my Iphone. I just got myself a new iPhone 15 and I think it’s great! The battery life however is never enough. So I always carry my powerbank. Unlike the new generation, I prefer working on my MacBook. Because I need my keyboard and touchpad and a proper screen. The screen of my iPhone simply is too small and the keys too little for my fingers.
Insta360 One R video camera
For my videos I have an insta360 One R camera. It’s a 360 camera, which means it films 360 degrees around. It is as small as the GoPro Hero cameras. But it is modulair. Meaning you can take it apart and change the lense. I use my Insta360 on an invisible selfie stick. The stick is not visible in the videos. Whether visible or not, as long as I have my design studio in a backpack.
Editing and design software
For designing I use Adobe software. My favourite is Illustrator. But I also use InDesign and Photoshop. For editing I sometimes us Premiere. But I prefer using Capcut. It’s free software and has so much options for easy and cool editing.
