What gear does Natasha Nicholes recommend for content creation?

For blogging and content creation, Natasha leans on a small set of workhorse tools she actually uses day to day:

• Nikon d750 camera body – her main camera (upgraded from a d3100) for better shutter speed, full frame, and image quality
• JOBY GorillaPod tripod – for stabilized photos, video, and video chats
• Digital voice recorder – especially on press trips when typing notes is impossible
• 50mm and 105mm prime lenses – for sharper images and better low‑light performance
• Microsoft Surface Book Pro – her primary blogging computer
• Beats by Dre headphones – a gift from her son, but now part of her regular workflow
