As a blogger, YouTuber and Instagram enthusiast, Benazio 'Benakribo' Putra relies on several high-tech devices to produce interesting photos and videos.
A self-proclaimed Apple fanboy, Bena employs an iMac, iPad and Macbook Air to craft creative contents on his Instagram account, YouTube channel and his award-winning blog, benablog.com.
Among his Apple gadgets, Bena named his gold iPhone 6 Plus as the most important one.
'I always use iPhone 6 Plus for making calls, chatting, browsing, checking e-mail, shooting and editing my Instagram videos and also other essential activities,' said Bena, who is known for his afro hair and geeky spectacles.
Bena rose to fame in 2009 because of his fresh and witty postings on his blog that steal the attention of many teenagers. He then expanded his creativity energy into creating videos and photos on YouTube and Instagram.
'I upload comedy, technology and educational videos on Instagram each week. While for YouTube, I upload two videos each month,' he said.
Along with seven young bloggers and YouTubers, Bena set up the first Indonesian video community called Indovidgram, which curates and reposts videos on culinary, technology and comedy topics from Instagram users. As many as 1.8 million Instagram users follow Indovidgram.
The 25-year-old Bena has also established a clothing line, @iwearbanana, and manages a digital creator management group called the Potato Team.

iPhone all the time
I use iPhone 6 Plus Gold 128 GB. I have always been an Apple fanboy. It is not just about the brand, but I particularly love iPhone 6 Plus because its processor works fast and flawlessly. Its 128 GB memory capacity is my favorite feature, considering that as YouTuber and Instagrammer, I make videos that take up a significant portion of memory space.
The phone's camera is also great because its stabilizer makes the video look steadier and professional.
Computers for every need
I employ a Macbook Air 11', iMac 27' with Retina 5K Display and iPad 3rd Generation.
I choose the Macbook because it is lightweight, but can perform well. At home, I use the iMac mostly to edit video and do some heavy stuff. When travelling, I bring the iPad as it has long battery life.
Snap, shoot everywhere
I use a DSLR camera, Canon EOS 5D Mark III, to make videos on YouTube and occasionally on Instagram. I use a mirrorless Sony A6000 camera for traveling and daily use because of its wireless connection that enables me to transfer photos and videos into my iPhone.
I use GoPro Hero 3 for travelling ' in particular for water-related activities, like swimming and snorkeling.
