I use my iPhone 6 for taking photos, to run my scripts on the Teleprompter and check social media.

I have an Opteka 10x Macro Conversion Lens that I occasionally use to get close-up photos and video of plants.
My computer is an iMac with a 21.5 inch display.
For keeping track of my schedule and tasks, I use a Compact Lavender Bliss Passion Planner with a Pilot Retractable Precise V5 RT pen.
Communication

Media
For editing, I use iMovie, as I don't have particularly complex editing needs.
I plan to upgrade to Adobe Premiere in the near future.
Storage
For script writing, I use Google Drive, since this allows me to work on things wherever I am.
Other
I run the website Brilliant Botany, a hub of plant science information that includes resource lists, merch and weekly YouTube videos.
My Mac currently runs OS X El Capitan.
