What's in My Camera Bag? (2025)

---

Just like last year, this list ONLY includes what I’m currently using to make content for YouTube, Instagram, and my other social media. What’s in the studio I use at work is simply too much to go over at this point.

Many of the things you see on this page were either donated to the channel by viewers or paid for using revenue from affiliate links like those featured in this post. Thanks again for helping out! ♡
