Hi my name is John Tisbury and in this video we're going to spend a bit of time
running through my GoPro equipment. I've got it all laid out in front of me I'm
going to take you through it piece by piece just to give you an idea of what
I've got in my GoPro camera bag. So see you after the intro.
Okay, yeah we're back! So I not going to run through this in any particular order. I'm just
going to pick up the bits here I've got in front of me and work my way through
them. And give you a sort of reason of what I got, and why I've got it.
So I've got a few GoPro cameras. We'll start with those. I've got 2 of the GoPro
Sixes, Hero6. The reason I've got 2 is that I've also got the Karma drone.
So quite often I've got one on the drone and then I've also got one either on
the grip, the Karma grip. Stabilising grip or on a tripod or what have you, if you're doing B-roll footage.
So I found that just having the one was difficult because it
was either on the drone or it was on... you know doing B-roll footage and it
couldn't be doing both. So I ended up with 2. I initially bought a Hero4 to start
with that was, my dive into GoPro. And whilst this is okay I find really
complicated to use, is very fiddly. There's too many buttons on it. Whereas
the 6s have been improved tremendously. Plus they don't need the
waterproof casing and have things like that. So it's a lot easier with the 5s and 6s
when they came out. I have a whole range of batteries and
battery chargers. I've also got powerbanks as well, this is an Anker powerbank,
with associated cables. And also if I'm out and about as well and get stuck I've
got a solar panel pack which I can use for charging on the go. Which is really
neat. It's a 3 panel setup.
I have a whole raft of different types of mount. You generally get big old pile
with your GoPro anyway, and if you've got 2 then you sort of build up
a little bit of a collection. Loads of screw thread adapters as well
and all various types of bolts and nuts and what have you. I also do quite a
lot of car work with the GoPro as well. So I've got suction mounts we've got 2
suction mounts vis. And then I've also got a Joby suction mount as well which
got an articulated arm which gives me a little bit more flexibility and movement.
I have got the stabiliser, the Karma stabiliser which is awesome. It's a
really nice piece of kit and it also comes with a little clamp as well which
you can clamp around the top there and it can wear it on your jacket with a
clip. The backpack has a little clip so you can pop that in there which
I found really useful. I've got the Polar Pro set of ND filters. I've got 2.
Typically, you going to use, if I'm using both GoPros at once I need one on each to
match them out. I've got a remote trigger which I don't use that frequently, but it's
quite useful if I need to use it. I've talked about this before, this little
frame stabilising frame. It's great for getting some nice steady handheld stuff.
And it's got a decent microphone on it as well which allows me to catch capture
good audio from the GoPro if I need to. If I'm just relying on that for audio
rather than relying on the Sony for external audio capture.
Loads of different types of power connectors. The ones for the cigarette lighter.
General fast charge ones for three-pin plugs. And that's about it really.
So it looks a lot, but when you sort of boil it down, because I've got 2,
it generally tends to double up on things. So it looks like you've got
absolutely loads of stuff. But the reality is, what's there is the basics.
And if I'm doing a video where I need both
GoPros I'm using quite a few of the different bits. Yeah.
So I think that's probably about it really. That's me GoPros. I use them, as I say, predominantly
for B-roll footage, if I'm shooting cars then they're on the suction mount.
And I'll try and use 2 at the same time to cut down on retakes.
But I'm very careful when I do that to make sure that I can't see the other one
in the other one's field of view, if that makes sense. I hate seeing shots
where you've got loads of like 50 GoPros stuck all over the car as you pans past
or zooms past. So if I'm doing drone footage or if I'm doing static drive-by
shots. I do take them all off and then do those shots and then put the GoPros back
on again which does make a little bit more tricky and time-consuming but to me
it gives a better final outcome. So there you go. Any questions about the gear
please drop them down below in the comment section. I will put in the
description down below all the gear that I've got here in case anybody's vaguely
interested. And yeah hopefully you found that useful, and I'll see you on the next
one. Alright, take care bye.
