## Cameras

Main camera

### Canon EOS R5 Mark II

Jeroen’s main stills and video camera. While he loved using his R5, the dramatically improved autofocus comes in handy for wildlife photography.

Backup

### Canon EOS R6 Mark III

His backup stills and video camera. The improved autofocus, video features and higher resolution (compared to the original R6) come in handy for wildlife photography and printing larger formats.

Video

### Canon EOS R6 V

His dedicated video camera, paired with the small Canon RF 16mm F2.8.

## Drones

Not sure which model is right for you? See [the best drones for drone photography in 2026](https://jvn.photo/best-drone-photography-2026/).

Main drone

### DJI Mavic 4 Pro

The obvious next step after a Mavic 3 Pro, an Air 2S and a Mavic 2 Pro, which partially melted flying too close to a volcano. Jeroen really enjoys the extended battery life and excellent image quality.

Backup

### DJI Mini 5 Pro

A small, lightweight backup drone with great image quality, and one of the drones Jeroen flies in his [online drone photography course](https://jvn.photo/drone-photography-masterclass/).

360

### DJI Avata 360

For 360-degree footage from the air since February 2026. It’s properly tough: his survived a crash into a canyon wall and a spell underwater.

## Lenses

Ultra-wide

### Canon RF 14-35mm f/4 IS USM L

Small, light-weight and stabilised. One of the best additions to his gear after he changed from his EF 16-35mm.

All-round

### Canon RF 24-105mm f/4 IS USM L

A light-weight all-round lens. The stabilisation is a welcome feature in addition to the sharpness.

Telephoto

### Canon RF 100-500mm f/4.5-7.1L IS USM

The obvious lens to get after switching to the EOS R system. The stabilisation and brilliant sharpness make it a dream lens for wildlife and landscape photographers.

Video

### Canon RF 20-50mm F4 L IS USM PZ

The latest addition to Jeroen’s video gear, and Canon’s first full-frame power zoom lens.

Video

### Canon RF 16mm F2.8 STM

One of two small, light primes Jeroen pairs with the Canon EOS R6 V for video.

Video

### Canon RF 24mm F1.8 Macro IS STM

The other small, light prime Jeroen pairs with the Canon EOS R6 V for video.

## Camera Backpacks

Daily

### f-stop Ajna DuraDiamond

Living in Iceland means being prepared for all kinds of weather. Jeroen uses the Ajna every day, and the larger 50 litre [Tilopa](https://jvn.photo/go/fstoptilopa) for longer journeys.

Drone kit

### f-stop Drone Case XL

All the drone gear in one case that fits inside the photo backpack, so the drone is easy to take out when it isn’t needed, or to take on its own.

## Vlogging & Social Media

Vlogs

### DJI Osmo Pocket 4P

For lengthy vlogs. Its small size, low weight, ease of use and great image quality make it a perfect companion on trips where weight is of the essence.

Audio

### DJI Mic 3

An easy to use, no-nonsense wireless microphone kit. Of the many models he looked into, this one stuck with him for its compact size.

Phone

### Apple iPhone 18 Pro Max

Most of the content you’ll see on [his Instagram stories](https://instagram.com/jvn.photo/) and other social media.

## Outdoor Gear

Below you can find a list of the most important outdoor gear Jeroen uses.

Winter base

### The Heat Company Durable Liner Pro

The base layer in winter, with enough flexibility to use all of your fingers on your camera gear or drone.

Extreme cold

### The Heat Company Shell Full Leather

The outer mittens, for when tactility isn’t important, such as when [Jeroen travels to Greenland in winter](https://jvn.photo/greenland-in-winter-in-five-images/).

[Read the review](https://jvn.photo/review-the-heat-company-photography-gloves/)

Summer

### The Heat Company Heat 2 Softshell

For flying the drone in heavy, cold wind. Being able to free up the fingertips helps a lot to keep tactility.

Add-on

### Hand Warmers

They fit neatly in a dedicated pocket in all three gloves. You’ll never get cold hands.
