Top 5 Tools I Use on Every Shoot

Written By Micah Stolte

Every shoot relies on a carefully curated toolkit. Here are my top 5 essentials:

  1. Full-Frame DSLR or Mirrorless Camera – Captures crisp, high-resolution images with low distortion.

  2. Wide-Angle Lens (16-35mm) – Essential for showing space and depth without making rooms look fake.

  3. Tripod with Leveling Head – Keeps lines straight and compositions clean.

  4. Flash – For color accuracy and brightness.

  5. Cell Phone – Captures accurate dimensions for professional looking floor plans.

Bonus: I always bring backup gear—because here at MJS Media Solutions if something fails, the shoot must go on.
