Here’s a list of the gear I most commonly use to create my YouTube videos. Clicking on the picture will take you to a page with more information and in some instances to buy it for yourself. Also I do earn some affiliate commission from some of these links, so thank you if you do buy from here.
Video
Main Camera: Canon EOS RP
My main vlogging camera. A more affordable small body, full-frame, 4K camera.
Vlog Lens: Canon RF 14-35mm
My main vlogging lens. Stabilised, nice and wide, not too big.
Cockpit Cam: GoPro Hero 9
Amazing stabilisation and good quality image.
Mini-vlog Camera: Sony ZV-1
My backup camera. Great 4K quality image in a small package, you can basically do everything with just this.
DJI Mini 3 Drone
Brilliant travel drone. Very light, easy to launch quickly.
360º WingCam: GoPro Max
How I get my pan / zoom shots from the aircraft wing.
Audio
Sony ICD-UX570 Digital Recorder
I record all my cockpit radio into this digital audio recorder. Great battery life, can record entire flights.
Headphone Splitter
Use this to split your audio output to two devices (the audio recorder and your headset).
Audio cable
This converts a 1/4″ output to the 3.5mm input you will need for the audio recorder.
Sennheiser MKE400 microphone
Compact microphone with excellent sound quality. A really important part of my kit.
Audio Level Adjuster: S1000
I connect this between the headset output and my audio recorder to keep the audio from clipping / distorting
Aircraft
RAM Ball Mount ‘B’
Attached to my dashboard, used to attach the RAM arm for mounting my iPad / GoPro.
RAM Arm
Attach this to the Ball Mount to give you an articulating arm.
RAM Suction Cup
A really strong suction cup to mount bits to your window if you don’t want a permanent fixture.
