Sony
Since 2018, Floris Smeets has been a Sony Europe Imaging Ambassador. Sony is renowned for continuously pushing the boundaries of innovation and imaging technology. With each new generation of cameras and lenses, technical challenges become easier to overcome, allowing photographers to focus more on creativity and storytelling rather than camera settings and limitations.
As a professional wildlife photographer, Floris often works in remote locations and under extremely demanding conditions, ranging from Arctic storms to harsh mountain environments. In such situations, reliable equipment is essential. Sony's camera systems have consistently delivered the performance, durability, and image quality needed to work with confidence in the field.
By combining cutting-edge technology with exceptional image quality, Sony enables photographers to concentrate on what matters most: creating compelling images and unforgettable visual stories.

MrJan Gear designs and manufactures high-quality, durable accessories for wildlife photographers, including camera backpacks, floating hides, camera carrying systems, photography blinds, and much more. Every product is handmade with a strong focus on craftsmanship, functionality, and longevity.
For many years, Floris has relied on the Boris camera backpack during photography expeditions around the world. From remote mountain ranges to harsh Arctic environments, the backpack has endured countless adventures and demanding conditions, yet it still performs as well as it did on day one.

Kite Optics
Kite Optics produces some of the finest stabilized binoculars and spotting scopes on the market. We have been using Kite's stabilized binoculars extensively during our tours in Svalbard, where they have become an invaluable tool for spotting wildlife at great distances. We often joke that "the person using the Kite binoculars is cheating" because the image stabilization makes it so much easier to detect wildlife that others might miss. The stabilization allows you to observe animals at much greater distances, while the exceptional optical quality delivers a bright, sharp image even in challenging light conditions. When searching for wildlife in the Arctic, every detail matters. Spotting a white polar bear against a snowy landscape several kilometres away suddenly becomes much easier with a pair of Kite binoculars.
