A Canon EOS 70D with a 18-135 lens usually stuck on for optimal last-minute range, Rode mic and lapel mic for interviews, mostly natural lighting, a GoPro Hero 4 Silver, and post-processing on a MacBook Air laptop in Lightroom, Photoshop, Go Pro Studio, iMovie, and other video programs. All very prêt à partir.
