My Gear

This is the gear I use to record my food challenges and YouTube videos as OldGuyEats. From cameras and audio equipment to accessories, everything here helps me capture what’s going on. I focus on gear that’s reliable, easy to use, and practical for recording food challenges in restaurants and on the road.
