For videos I'm using the DJI Osmo Pocket 3, an awesome small and handy device.

I'm going lightweight or even almost ultralight ... no more heavy photography backpacks, except for one Lowepro backpack, which I use for shorther hikes. For longer or harder hikes or for overnight hikes I have started using the ultralight backpack Kakwa 55 from Durston, that I have modified a little bit, but it's still less than half the weight of my Lowepro backpack. I have bought lightweight hiking and camping gear as well as I have started taking only one lens with me, the Canon RF 24-240, which is a "cheap" lens compared to my other lenses, but it works fine and I can't see much of a difference. More about my ultralight hiking and photographing will be soon in my blog.

And last but not least one of the most important things for my photography: in 2022 I bought a white 2014 VW Caddy (Caddy 2K / Caddy III) and converted it to a camper van. It's the short version of the Caddy, but since I'm not the tallest person, it's quite useable for me and I enjoy sleeping in the van.
This van allows me to drive to a hike or to a sunrise location the day before and sleep in the van there or nearby. That way I don't need to get up in the middle of the night and drive for hours to be on time on the location.
