full body camera

I use two Nikon D750s. One for main use, one for back up use (also helpful if you have two different set ups on a time crunch!)

I'm most familiar with Nikon, but you can't go wrong between Nikon and Canon.

strobe lighting

I use and love my Profoto B10s. They are compact, reliable, durable, and have a plug in charger as well as a continuous light for short videos. You can't go wrong with the Profoto brand. They are what I'm familiar with, but there are more affordable options as well for when you're starting out.

lens

A macro lens is essential for product photographers. It allows you to focus within inches of a product's surface, which allows you to shoot textures, jewelry, small items, and more.
