2025 Favorite Mobile Filmmaking Gear

It's that time of year again where I pick my favorite gear and tech from the past 12 months. And this list is comprised of stuff that I made a video about on my YouTube channel and/or just personally used. And to be clear, these are my favorites, so that means they're not necessarily the best - but they are things that made my life easier and videos better.

Watch below to see my 2025 faves...

What do you think? Have you used any of this gear? And what would you add to the list?

And btw, I used some gear just like this (but older) to help make my latest feature film Casey Makes a Mixtape... Have you seen it yet?

If not, here is the the 2nd trailer for it and so I hope you'll watch it and consider renting or buying the movie. This is a great way to help support my work and of course indie film in general. It's streaming now on Amazon, Apple TV, YouTube Movies, Fandango at Home & Google Play.

And below is my Top 10 favorite gear list of 2025 with direct links to the gear - BUT definitely watch the video first to hear my commentary on each entry. :)
