TOP TECH AND GEAR THAT ELLIS USES MOST

1 CANON EOS R “This is my main workhorse and it’s one of the nicest cameras that I’ve ever used, except for the touchbar – which I don’t find so intuitive.” The mirrorless has a full-frame 30.3 MP Dual Pixel CMOS AF sensor and 4K movie recording in Canon Log.

2 CANON RF 24-70MM F/2.8 LENS “I have a ton of other lenses, but I just don’t use them – unless I’m doing portrait or product work.”

3 CANON EF 50MM F/1.4 Ellis favours lenses with wide maximum apertures, like this classic prime optic.

4 CANON 7D MARK II “This was my main camera before the EOS R. The crop sensor might hold some people back, but for me it’s still an amazing camera. On this body I’m rocking Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 lens ."

5 PEAK DESIGN EVERYDAY BACKPACK 30L “I’m a massive Peak Design fanboy. I also use their Sling, Duffel bag, plus the Travel Tripod to film on and the Tech Pouch for storage, cables and dongles.”

6 RØDE VIDEOMIC PRO+ ON-CAMERA MICROPHONE “The plus has a Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery and an automatic power function: when you turn the camera on, it also turns the mic on – something that’s so handy.”

7 SAMSUNG T5 SSD “I have two of these, both in 512GB. They’re so small, and perfect for backing up SD cards when I’m travelling.”

8 APPLE IPHONE 12 PRO MAX Ellis’ smartphone of choice features a wide camera with f/1.6 aperture and a 65mm Telephoto. Read our full review of it from p94
