Filming Equipment

A lot of people ask what filming gear I use so here’s a list (as an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases)

Main camera
I’m now using an iPhone 15 Pro to film at the back of the boat, both for pieces to camera and general scenery, using the BlackMagic Design camera app, recording to ProRes LT on an external SSD.

The main camera used to be a Sony AX43 camcorder https://geni.us/CtC_SonyAX43

Bow camera
DJI Osmo Action 4 https://geni.us/CtC_OsmoAction
Bow camera used to be a Sony AXP43 https://geni.us/CtC_SonyAX43
See my review of the very similar AX53 at www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BuJvAOzFSI

Main camera microphone
Godox Cube SC https://geni.us/CtC_GodoxMic
This is a tiny wireless mic that just hangs around my neck on a little lanyard and provides excellent audio with zero effort involved in setting it up. Just switch it on and it connects to the receiver on the phone and works.

Bow camera microphone
I’ve tried all kinds of options for this but as I’m now using an Osmo Action 4 at the bow, I’ve paired it with an old Hollyland Lark M1 which is doing surprisingly well with lovely stereo sound https://geni.us/TS_LarkM1Duo

Voiceover recording
Rode NT-USB

Audio interface
I really try to do good quality audio recording, mixing and monitoring and this device is low cost but sounds good: Behringer UMC22 USB
