I switched from the Canon R5 to the OM-1, mainly because of its weight and bulk. As a passionate mountaineer, the weight of my gear is crucial for long approaches. With the best stabilization on the market, I can leave the tripod at home and enjoy the view
My favorite lens for portraits or photos taken while camping in very low light. Equivalent to a full-frame 90mm f/1.2, it offers good agility in low light and, above all, the most beautiful bokeh in the OM System ecosystem
A constant F4.5 PRO lens. An obvious choice in mountainous terrain. A focal length of 300 to 800mm (FF equivalent) and with a built-in 1.2x teleconverter offering 1000mm, all for only 1.8kg. Ideal for rugged outings and hiking, I love it
A full-frame equivalent of a 24-80mm f/2.8. Ideal for landscapes and some astrophotography, perfect for lightweight mountain outings, the ultimate all-purpose lens. I love its compact size combined with the OM1's image stabilization – the perfect tripod-free combo
Excellent main backpack, successor to my Shimoda Action X. I loved the modularity of the Shimoda, but was disappointed by the durability of the foam and the belt clip; I prefer the comfort of the FSTOP
My 100L pack is perfect for long hikes and wildlife observation. There's nothing better than a proper trekking pack for heavy loads. I love the large front opening of this pack for easy access to the inner compartment with my camera gear
The 33L pack is the mini version of the Tilopa. It's the ideal size for travel, short outings, or spontaneous trips. An excellent solution when used with the ICU Small Pro; with OM System gear, there's no problem with space.
Excellent, sturdy tripod with a very good weight-to-stability ratio. Versatile for both photo and video, with a built-in level. I'm 1.82m tall, and once unfolded, the camera is perfectly level with my eye without me having to bend over
Hawkeye GTGUARD Ai 15 thermal imaging goggles are really practical in the field, especially in the early morning twilight, and for avoiding disturbing animals
A camouflage outfit that I really like, light and breathable, ideal for walking
A good pair of 10x42 binoculars, ideal for hides, a little heavy and bulky
No doubt, the most practical purchase for hiking, I can no longer do without it, having my hands free with quick access to my camera and binoculars on my hip
