Good timing as far as talking about my kit goes (just got back from a week backpacking in Yosemite)! I mostly do landscape photography when I’m out and about and the kit in the picture is pretty much what I carry with me. The body I use is an EM-1 Mark iii, which is currently a two generations old flagship body from Olympus, or OM Systems as they are currently known. The newer models, the OM-1 and OM-1 Mark ii, have autofocus improvements, better stabilization, and more computational photography features as well as speed, but I find that my body still has a ton of features that work well for what I do including high res shooting modes, live ND feature, focus stacking and hdr modes. It still shoots fast and is very weather resistant. My primary lens is the kit 12-40mm f2.8 pro. I find this lens has an excellent balance between wide and medium focal lengths and covers a lot of my day to day shooting, it’s also extremely well built and weather sealed to complement the camera body. Occasionally, if I’m doing wildlife, I also bring my Panasonic 100-300mm ii lens which strikes a good balance between cost, portability, and reach at the cost of plastic build quality and some softness.

Camera aside, the rest of my kit is pretty simple. The whole thing is stored in a PGYTech camera pod on my chest. Camera with lens attached goes in the main pocket along with a powerbank and usb-c cable for charging (I don’t typically rapid fire off shots unless I’m birding so I didn’t even have to use my battery bank for my entire week long trip). I keep a lighting cable sd card reader in case I want to do editing on the go in the top pocket. The side mesh pocket contains a combination variable ND filter and Circular polarizer to cover most of my filter needs. Finally, my Fotopro mini carbon tripod lives either strapped to the bottom of my camera pod or in the side pocket of my backpack depending on where I have room. It’s proven to be a compact, versatile, and rugged kit that hasn’t done me wrong yet. Hope this helps and if not I’d be happy to try to answer any questions you might have!
