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.
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.
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 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 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.
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.
