Photography Gear
Fujifilm X-H2

Fujifilm EF-X500 - It is my first professional flash, and I always use it when taking portrait photos. It is easily used and provides FP flash mode, so I do not worry about shutter speed.

XF 8-16mm F2.8 R LM WR - Incredible vision for taking starry sky! High quality and waterproof. I think waterproofing is very important for hiking and adventure. Usually, I take sunset or sunrise photos when I am camping. For sunset and sunrise time, the weather is wet and cold on the mountain. Therefore, waterproof and durable photography gear is essential to handle this condition.

FUJIFILM XF 16-55mm F2.8 R LM WR - A lens is definitely suitable for a wide range of shooting topics, and the image quality is very incredible. I always bring it for hiking trips and travel. The only drawback of this lens is soooo heavy and big, but you know, it is a trad-off of high-quality images :)

XF 50-140mmF2.8 R LM OIS WR - This is a perfect lens for portraits, events, and even landscapes. It has very high optical quality and is waterproof and O.I.S., so I can take pretty sharp photos even in low light and rain conditions.

XF2X TC WR - It has great image quality when used with XF 50-140. I usually use it with a tripod because it will reduce the amount of light(F2.8 -> F5.6), so I need to slow down the shutter speed.

DJI OSMO Action - It is suitable for recording trips and adventures. But if I open the RockSteady stabilization while recording, the screen display will be delayed. RockSteady is a gimbal-like algorithm, and its cost of operation is very high. Although the new firmware improves the lag when recording, the lag phenomenon also appears at 1080p/60fps and above. Hopefully, this situation will also improve in the next firmware update.

NiSi V5 Pro Advanced Filter Kit - This includes a holder and six filters: polariser filter, soft-edge ND 0.9, hard-edge reverse-graduated ND 0.9, ND 0.9, ND 1.8, and ND 3.0. Those filters are suitable for most scenes, such as sunrises or waterfalls. I sometimes bring them when I am hiking and taking landscape photos.

Manfrotto Befree Advanced Carbon Fiber Travel Tripod with 494 Ball Head - About 1.27kg and can hold up to 8kg of gear. It is super light and small for storage. The tripod is unstable when the wind on the top of the mountain becomes unusually strong, but I think this sacrifice is worthwhile when the equipment needs to be lightened on specific journeys.

Post-processing
LaCie Rugged Thunderbolt USB 3.0 / LaCie 4TB Rugged RAID Pro Mobile USB Type-C RAID Drive - This device keeps my raw data and post-processing photos. It is waterproof and resistant to drops.

Adobe Lightroom Classic - Always use it to process and manage images.

Affinity Photo - This is excellent software with a user-friendly UI. I can easily edit images and access functions. Also, unlike Photoshop, it runs very fast and smooth even though I load or edit high-quality images.

Affinity Designer/Publisher - Designs the postcard and other.

Bag
F-Stop SHINN backpack - 80L. Huge monster. It has a lot of compartments, and it can hold everything! It keeps my camera gear, trekking, and camping gear. But, the handle webbing design is too thin. From my experience, although the officially introduced SHINN strap uses "Oxford-weave" tearproof nylon, it breaks at the waist and sternum position after being used twice. Fortunately, f-stop contacted me and changed the new backpack for me. After that, I used it for around three years, and everything was good. I am thrilled to have this backpack.
