If it doesn't make my workflow faster or my travel easier, it's not here. ## Daily Carry [Aer City Pack Pro 2](https://aersf.com/products/city-pack-pro-2?ref=jeffsu.org) replaced the Pro Pack Slim after two years. Minimal exterior, surprisingly spacious interior, and the laptop compartment fits the 16-inch MacBook perfectly. What's in the bag: - [MacBook Pro 16" (M5 Max)](https://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/?ref=jeffsu.org) \- My only laptop now. Handles video editing, AI workflows, and everything in between. - [iPad Pro (12.9")](https://geni.us/travel-ipad?ref=jeffsu.org) \- Mostly for reading and light email when I don't want to open the MacBook. - [Sony WH-1000XM6](https://amzn.to/4texdJA?ref=jeffsu.org) \- Third generation of these I've owned. The noise canceling on planes alone is worth it. - [DJI Osmo Pocket 3](https://amzn.to/4ejpYv4?ref=jeffsu.org) \- Replaced the Insta360 GO 2\. Better video quality and the rotating screen makes it easy to check framing on POV shots. ## Travel Gear [Aer Travel Pack 3](https://aersf.com/collections/travel-collection/products/travel-pack-3?ref=jeffsu.org) \- Switched from the Peak Design Travel Backpack because it's easier on the shoulders and more versatile for one-bag travel. I've been using Delsey suitcases since my boarding school days (give or take a few decades) and they LAST. I've tried Tumi but always came back to the cheaper, sturdier Delseys. - [Delsey Alexis 29"](https://geni.us/travel-delsey29?ref=jeffsu.org) \- Check-in suitcase. - [Delsey Paris Titanium 21"](https://geni.us/travel-delsey-21?ref=jeffsu.org) \- Carry-on. - [Peak Design Packing Cubes](https://peak-design.pxf.io/1rEGmR?ref=jeffsu.org) \- Sleek, practical, and expandable. I have just enough to fill the 29-inch check-in completely. - [Peak Design Wash Pouch](https://peak-design.pxf.io/5bX07n?ref=jeffsu.org) \- Waterproof, separate toothbrush compartment, and the green color looks great. I buy these as gifts for friends. ## Desk - [Apple Pro Display XDR](https://geni.us/prodisplayxdr?ref=jeffsu.org) \- Got this second-hand. Overkill for most people, but the color accuracy matters for video editing and thumbnail work. - [CalDigit TS5 Plus](https://amzn.to/3QCCLio?ref=jeffsu.org) \- The dock that connects everything to the MacBook with a single cable. Clean desk, no cable mess. - [Logitech MX Master 4](https://amzn.to/3OFW4Xw?ref=jeffsu.org) \- Fourth generation, still the best productivity mouse I've used. - [Apple Magic Trackpad 2](https://geni.us/desk-apple-trackpad-2?ref=jeffsu.org) \- Sits next to the mouse. I switch between them depending on the task. - [Herman Miller Embody](https://geni.us/desk-chair-embody?ref=jeffsu.org) \- Recently tried the Steelcase Leap v2\. No competition. Embody wins in every dimension. - [Blue Yeti USB Mic](https://geni.us/desk-blue-yeti?ref=jeffsu.org) \- Good enough for calls and casual recording. The studio mics live on the [YouTube Gear](https://www.jeffsu.org/yt-gear/) page. - [Logitech Brio](https://geni.us/desk-logitech-brio?ref=jeffsu.org) \- Webcam. Does the job. - [Bose Companion 20](https://geni.us/desk-bose-companion?ref=jeffsu.org) \- Desk speakers. Nothing fancy, they just work. ### Desk Accessories The desk runs a black-walnut theme from [Grovemade](https://grovemade.com/?rfsn=6731618.b15b01&ref=jeffsu.org) and [Oakywood](https://shrsl.com/3zhge?ref=jeffsu.org). - [Wooden Desk Shelf](https://bit.ly/3vOIzrF?ref=jeffsu.org) \- One of my first Grovemade purchases. The space underneath is perfect for sliding the desk mat under. - [Desk Mat (wool)](https://bit.ly/3X0gyZU?ref=jeffsu.org) \- Fits a Magic Trackpad, MX Keys Mini, and MX Master perfectly. - [Laptop Stand](https://bit.ly/3irNqfb?ref=jeffsu.org) \- A little overpriced but fits the black-walnut theme. - [Headphone Stand](https://bit.ly/3vOXySv?ref=jeffsu.org) \- Same deal. Expensive, looks great. - [MagSafe Charger](https://bit.ly/3vRvJsM?ref=jeffsu.org) \- I bought two (desk and bedroom). Extremely well-built, never tips over. - [Wall Caddy](https://bit.ly/3XkFQln?ref=jeffsu.org) \- My favorite Grovemade product. Throw the phone on top, hang keys below. Not technically part of the desk setup but too good to leave out. - [Oakywood iPhone MagSafe Shelf Mount](https://shrsl.com/3zhge?ref=jeffsu.org) \- I have two. One on the desk, one by the front door. Pop the phone on, it charges immediately.
