In this video I'm gonna share with you the video equipment I plan on bringing
with me on my 12-month trip around the world trip. Greetings from New York City
YouTube. My name is Kevin, I make these weekly videos documenting my journey
towards full time travel, so if that type of content interests you, please subscribe
below! In March, I'm leaving on a 12 month
journey around the world where I'm gonna stay in 12 countries for 30 days. I'm
leaving my job as a corporate lawyer to do this.
I plan on documenting this adventure on this YouTube channel and I hope after
that twelve months to continue to travel full time. For those of you that
haven't seen my packing video I'm actually only going to be traveling with
a small thirty liter backpack and a messenger bag that will have my camera
equipment in it so I've had to be really strategic about the equipment that I
bring with me in order to make my travel videos so I figured I'd share with you
what I'm bringing and why I'm bringing that stuff so let's first start off with
the GoPro so I'm sure everybody on here knows what a GoPro is this is going to
be the camera I use for my action shots if I do any kind of hiking or jumping up
a cliff into a water or anything that's rugged or maybe in a situation where I
want to bring a smaller camera I'll use the GoPro I have the GoPro Hero seven
black it has a really good stability especially when you're making hyperlapse
videos the time work function which is one of the hyperlapse options on this
GoPro seven are just amazing it makes me look like I have much more skill than I
actually have I also have this mini tripod that I bought with this GoPro so
it serves a bunch of different functions for me that obviously serves as a tripod
because I can also take photos with this or I could set it down and go out and
talk and do a vlog in a second I'll talk about mics I have a specific mic for
this GoPro just in case I do want to with the cameras portable tripods
portable it was kind of a must-have for my bag
the next thing I have here is a little bit double tripod a lot of people have
those Joby's I wanted something actually a little bit smaller because I have
limited space and they're pretty much acts like a Jovi's bendable and does
similar things that Joby does and it's much more compact if I want to really
make it small so I also have this little like selfie stick holder I have a pixel
three which actually has pretty good video it takes really good photos and so
I'll be using this with the tripod that my a 6500 is sitting on right now that's
just a small amount proto tripod so I have three tripods total that I'm
bringing with me so next is my drone so I wanted something small and compact
that I could get epic footage with so I what would the DJI Matic pro air it's
really small it fits in my camera bag and I'm hoping this really takes my
travel videos to the next level next I have a few different mics I have a rode
mic video pro that I'm using right now that's on my sony a 65 hundred that I'm
using to film this video with I also have a road level ear or a clip-on mic I
actually just got this so I'm going to start using this more I've done a couple
tests with it and the audio quality is really good and so I'm hoping this takes
my audio to the next one and next I have a little mic that I can
use with my GoPro Hero 7 if I decide to vlog with it most people know that the
GoPro mics usually aren't that great the hero 7 the mics okay but I went ahead
and bought the mic extension and I can either hook this mic on right here where
I can hook on that road level ear mic that I showed you earlier or even the
rode videomic pro that I have on my camera right now I also have a 20 foot
extension cable for my røde lavalier mic but I could use this for any of the mics
and actually next let's talk about my pixel 3 I first got this phone because I
was switching to Google 5 and at the time they didn't support iPhones so I
decided to go ahead and go with the pixel 3 because I wanted the Google 5
service because very traveler friendly I didn't realize how good thing
camera was until I got the phone it shoots great stills
but it also shoots great video Google doesn't really talk about the
stabilization in this pixel 3 but it is phenomenal it rivals the GoPro Hero 7 in
my opinion I've also added the moment case and the moment wide-angle lens I
added the moment wide-angle lens primarily to vlog with this pixel 3 I
took this pixel 3 and moment lens out on new years and it worked really well for
me as a blondie camera in the pouring down rain I also got a moment macro lens
but that's more for photography along with trying to build up my youtube
channel I plan on trying to build up my Instagram following as well so I'm sure
I'll make use of both of those moment lenses or still shots and finally the
camera I'm treating with right now is the sony a6000 it's a great camera it
shoots 4k at 30 and I can shoot 1080p at 60 and 120 the lens attached to the
camera right now is the sony 16 to 70 millimeter zeiss lens that's the lens i
used primarily in the day it's a great lens it's the one i'm using right now i
also have the sigma 16 millimeter and this is going to be my go to night lens
I use this when I was in Paris and I was just blown away with how great it shoots
at night so that's the equipment I'm gonna bring with me I also have a
MacBook Pro and use Final Cut Pro to edit my videos I'm very new to making
YouTube videos and especially to making travel videos so I'm excited about
improving my skills as I go and I really appreciate any feedback you give me
