The gear we actually use.
Tried-and-true picks we run ourselves and recommend to family, friends, and clients. No fluff — just things that work.
Cameras
Truth be told, I’m vain. I have probably tried them all and switched preferences over the years, probably at least twice a year. This is my current one, and I’ve actually kept it for over a year. A big reason for it is that with the giant display I have, it’s hard to get a camera position that makes it feel like we’re looking at each other. And that’s why I love the iConatct Pro.
Buy at Amazon →We have recommended hundreds—no complaints.
Buy at Amazon →I had the previous model of this and it was great; my biggest issue was finding a location for it where it felt natural and wasn’t looking down on me. I still use it when I’m presenting to large groups because it allows me to move around and be more engaging and think less about sitting still so I’m in the camera. Clearly I have no media training.
Buy at Amazon →Displays
Can’t go wrong with an Apple display. The built in center stage camera, mic and speakers are an extra bonus. Nothing to futz around with, it all just works.
Buy at Apple →Good quality, great value - works in portrait or landscape mode. Has USB-C with power delivery, that means the cable you connect to the display can also share your MacBook Air. 96W to charge MacBooks too. We've recommended dozens of these over the years and haven't had a single complaint.
Buy at Amazon →Pretty much the same display as the one to the left, just bigger… And bigger can be better when it comes to displays. This one has 96W power delivery, and an Ethernet port!
Buy at Amazon →I like this one because it’s essentially like having two 27″ inch displays without having the gap between them. It can be overwhelming, but for me it works great. Is it massively color accurate, nope. But it’s decent. And it works great with my old eyes.
Buy at Amazon →Hard Drives
If you need a bit more space, consider this 4TB drive. Tough, fast, and compact, the rugged T7 Shield is built to endure with the space to create thanks to an IP65 rating for dust and water resistance.
Buy at Amazon →Robust external hard drive. Ideal for outdoor activities and is shockproof up to almost 10 feet of drop height. Ideally stores photo and video content.
Buy at Amazon →Hubs / Docks / Dongles
I keep this in my bag for just in case… If you are ever looking at a few similar products from a bunch of brands you don’t recognize, lean into Anker.
Buy at Amazon →This has it all. If you need to plug something in, this likely has two or three of these ports that you need.
Buy at Amazon →Stable connection speeds up to 1Gbps; downward compatible with 100Mbps/10Mbps networks. A Type-C to LAN Gigabit Ethernet (RJ45) Network Adapter that supports large downloads at maximum speeds without interruption.
Buy at Amazon →Miscellaneous
If you have two displays and want some flexibility this works great. This desk mounted arm fits two flat/curved monitors. It offers full motion height, swivel tilt, and adjustable rotation.
Buy at Amazon →Wireless thermal printer for shipping labels, easy to use from your phone or computer.
Buy at Amazon →Premium Aluminum Single Monitor Mount, Full Motion Single Desk Mount Stand, C-Clamp and Grommet, Max Load 44lbs, Max VESA 100x100mm, Black. Great for one display. I use this with my 49″ monitor.
Buy at Amazon →All-in-one printer, scanner, and copier with touchscreen. Laser, mobile ready, duplex printing and carbon neutral certified. For your home or small office!
Buy at Amazon →Sound
Wireless, automagically switches between devices, has FindMy built in. The sound is great, noise cancelling works well on planes or lawnmowers. Big fans. Great for conference calls too. Especially great for meetings in shared workspaces.
Buy at Apple →Does a great job of giving you that real studio-quality sound.
