Currently I am using a Sony Alpha 6000 because it's more lightweight than a DSLR like the Canon EOS 600D I had before what's a huge advantage in case of backpacking and it also has a high dynamic APS-C Sensor.
For Landscape- and Nightsky Photography I'm using a Walimex Pro 12mm F2.0 to have a wide angle but also a wide open aperture to capture as much light as possible of the stars at night in a short time.
I have a very cheap but nevertheless sharp and with an average to good bokeh Hanimex Tele-Zoom F4.5 90-230mm with an adapter to my Sony for when it's important to get something close to camera.
And for Portrait and also Macro I bought a Porst Color Reflex Auto 50mm F1.8 with a fitting adapter.
The Cullmann Nanomax 400T is lightweight and has a very good and smooth ball head and is also flexible. With a maximum of 86.5cm it's not the tallest tripod but since I do Landscape Photography more often from the ground than at eye hight it is satisfactory for me. Additional I am using an Andoer Quickrelease Plate.

Additional Equipment
Since I started to take pictures seriously I am using the Amazon Basics Camera Backpack.
​
For shooting time lapse footage I needed a SD Card with a decent write speed. RAW images of my Sony Alpha 6000 are taking about 25MB, so I needed a SD Card with a write speed of at least 25MB/s to capture one photo every second. I chose the SanDisk Extreme 64GB SDXC with a write speed of about 40MB/s.
​
For long exposures at daytime I own two Neutral Density Filters. One with ND1000 for when the sun is shining strongly and a variable one with ND2 to ND100 for shorter long exposures. Both of them have a diameter of 77mm so I am using some Step Up Rings to mount them on every lense.
I also own a Polarizing Filter to get rid of reflections.
​
To shoot pictures with specific intervals without touching the camera a remote trigger like the Ayex TR-1 which I am using with an S2 Cable for my Sony Alpha 6000 is very helpful.
