What gear do I use while traveling ?

Ah, you were waiting for this article! Here is a list of my video and photo equipment while traveling.

I started filming my very first videos using the GoPro Hero 4. Suffice to say that I found the GoPro really very useful. I liked the idea of being able to film quickly and without being cluttered. Right now I’ve swapped the GoPro for my new photo and video hardware below but from time to time I use the GoPro heroe 7 for underwater shots or on my bike, perfect for action!

I quickly realized that I felt the need to have more professional equipment to live from my passion and transcribe my travels to my subscriber.es. That’s when I started to equip myself with professional video and photo equipment, but still practical when traveling and reasonable to start with!

DRONE | MAVIC MINI | DJI

The Mavic Mini is a great opportunity at a low price to start with a drone. Very compact and lightweight, they will follow you everywhere when traveling. If you want to use the Mavic mini in the USA as a hobby it is quite possible because it is within the limits allowed. But if it is for a commercial purpose, you will have to pass the FAA test which will give you a license to have the opportunity to fly in the United States commercially and/or with a heavier drone.

Here are some examples of photographs taken with the Mavic Mini:

Beatriz & Charlie

For sound:

For my videos, I use the mini microphone from Rode. Compact, you can bring it everywhere with you, perfect for traveling!

stabilizer:

To stabilize my videos, I use the Ronin-S most of the time. Incredible stability but as far as weight and size are concerned it is not practical to go with on a trip. So I use it mainly for wedding and real estate videos. The GH5 has a magnificent stabilization even without the stabilizer, convenient for hiking!
