CAMERAS

I shoot adventures on a GoPro 10 and 12: https://amzn.to/41g6dy8  and https://amzn.to/49mjPd2 (I'd switch but I have a pile of batteries)

I shoot interviews on several iPhones 17Pro, 16Pro, 15Pro, 13Pro and XS 

My larger cameras are at Sony A6400: https://amzn.to/4ipAGji

and a Sony ZV1: https://amzn.to/49lBkuf but these are rarely used because iPhones are now so good.

For the out-front shots I use an Insta 360 X4: https://amzn.to/3Z2e7st and mount it in two ways.  There's this which only fits on the handlebars https://amzn.to/41E8jZ1

So if I need to use it in other places around the bike I use the Insta 360 Invisible selfie stick https://amzn.to/3BeUlln   clamped to the  handlebar or steerer tube with a SmallRig clamp (don't clamp onto carbon parts!) https://amzn.to/3ZqpVV8  The clamp is great but the ball & socket can sag, so this needs to be tight.

DRONES

Currently my only drone, until the UK rules settle down, is the HoverAir X1 Pro https://amzn.to/4gkAIa

TRIPODS / STANDS

I have a lovely carbon stills camera tripod https://amzn.to/3WB7cpf. Now there are cheaper versions, but I find I don't need a tripod when working indoors, I use a simple stand https://amzn.to/4qcoBls

AUDIO

Audio is most often recorded on a Sony voice recorder: https://amzn.to/41mBtvw

using a Rode SmartLav+ microphone https://amzn.to/3OIiZOs

For interviews I use a Rode Wireless Pro radio mic set https://amzn.to/4i5S1NS

For audio with the X1 Pro and quick iPhone interviews I use a Hollyland Lark M2S https://amzn.to/3FGPtHq


HOW I SHOOT AND EDIT

I made a series explaining how I shoot, structure and edit videos including the equipment I use.  Here's the first.
