Equipment
Kelly Wakasa's "Do What Excites" videos have taken him from skate sessions to travel adventures and unexpected challenges, but his main filming camera has remained a constant. In his March 2026 gear tour, he said he had shot nearly all his YouTube videos with the Sony α7S III. His lens collection is much larger than the selection listed here, with the Sony FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM II wide-angle zoom and Sony FE 24-105mm f/4 G OSS among the lenses he showed.
For his second YouTube channel, Kelly uses the more compact Canon PowerShot V1. He also keeps cameras for different recording formats, including the Sony FDR-AX53 Handycam and Canon 514XL Super 8 film camera. A RØDE Lavalier GO microphone appears in more recent interview footage, while the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses are another recording option in his collection.
