mrbrown’s Gear Drawer
I was doing some spring cleaning at home and decided to take everything out of my gear drawer to clean and inventory some of my stuff that I use for work, to make podcasts and videos.
This is just the stuff in my home, not including my main gear in the office studio. Most of this was chosen for mobility. So it is mainly mobile journalism gear and designed for travel.
Some of the stuff are still being used. Some have been retired, either because the iPhone model I am using doesn’t support it anymore (like the older Ztylus case and lens) or I found something that works better.
So here goes, a list of what’s on the flat lay. From the top left, going from left to right:
1. Sennheiser Memory Mic
2. V-MODA BoomPro microphone in a Muji case
