Mikhail relies on Huawei's P30 Pro for daily use, and its easy to see why. The smartphone is equipped with a Leica quad-camera system which works even better since it's combined with Huawei's own sensor. The 40-megapixel camera also has a super zoom lens and ultra-wide-angle lens. It's the camera system to end all camera systems.

You can pretty much never separate a movie director from his cap. Mikhail has a bunch on rotation, but he uses his own customized Red camera cap the most along with his black Supreme and Balenciaga caps.
