Recently purchased, this bag can carry everything. I wanted a bag that would take the 300 with an extender and with its hood on. This would save me from annoyingly having to screw the hood on and off all the time. It also has plenty of room for other lenses, is as tough as nails and even has an extension to the top of it that will allow me to pack boots or an extra jersey for thos long hikes.

I only use the 1.4x converter as I have found that the 2.0x is really not worth it. It is too soft and too dark in my view, whereas having the 1.4x is not noticeable at all. Obviously gives me greater reach on my two prime lenses, taking the 300 to 420 and the 500 to a massive 700mm.

This tripod does everything that a tripod should but it is also light and extrmely sturdy. The build quality of the Leofoto range is extremely good and so these tripods offer exceptional value for money. The LH-40 ball head is smooth and well geared making operation effortless.

The GoPro Hero 10 speaks for itself. Its reputation as one of the best camcorders available on the market is well documented. I use it for videos of my trips and for behind-the-scene clips of my work. I also use it quite extensively for time-lapse videos.

I have only recently purchased a drone and am still getting to terms with using it. I am also getting my head around all the restrictions that come with a drone but hope to use it more often in future.

One of the first quality optics I invested in, the Swarovski binoculars are indispensable and still get rave comments from people who try them out when compared to others. Using them everywhere I go, they often live in my car and travel everywhere with me. In Panama I was the only one with clear binoculars in the misty rainforests - everyone else's had misted up!
