My computer is a 13" 2015 MacBook Air which is fine for cutting simple social videos but starts wheezing when I try to do anything with 4k footage.
My camera is a Panasonic GH4 (great for beginners).
I have a Rode VideoMic Go shotgun mic, a very cheap Amazon Basics tripod, and the LimoStudio softbox light kit, which is nice cost-effective lighting to have on hand.
I also just got a Canon VIXIA R800 camcorder that I'm kind of obsessed with.
I had to get Jabra Move Bluetooth headphones to accommodate the 8+ because keeping track of that Lightning-to-3.5mm dongle suuuucks so wireless headphones it is.
Communication
Productivity
I write most things, including podcast notes and fiction, on Google Docs, though I'm always on a futile search for The Perfect Minimal Word Processor.
Notes
Media
I edit on Adobe Premiere Pro.
Other
I am very into the Golden Thread Tarot app.
