What's in My Garage

Stuff I actually use and recommend.

DJI Osmo Pocket 3

My go-to for walkaround and POV footage. Stabilization is insane for its size.

$300–$350Amazon

DJI Action 5 Pro

Primary action cam for driving footage. 4K, rock solid.

$250–$350Amazon

Official Chevrolet C8 Interior Floor Liners

OEM all-weather liners for the cabin. Perfect fit, crossed flags logo, zero rattles. The only ones worth buying.

~$265Chevrolet

Official Chevrolet C8 Cargo Liners (Frunk + Trunk)

OEM cargo liners for the frunk and trunk. Deep channels catch everything. Essential if you daily the car.
