TRAVEL YOUNG & BROKE
TRAVEL YOUNG & BROKE
MY TRAVEL GEAR
So that I can create even more memories and cool content I always take my gear with me in all my trips.
I prioritize material with quality but that can go unnoticed, not only so that my person does not draw so much attention with all that video equipment but also so that I don't carry a lot of cameras, lenses, gimbals and giant drones. At the moment my travel style doesn't justify that level of equipment. In many of my trips I let myself belong to the crowd, I follow more challenging trails or cross streets where being noticed is not something in my favor and therefore opting for a simpler and smaller gear is something that I have found to be a good option for me.
This way I have been traveling more relaxed and at the same time I'm still well equipped with high quality material.
​
My camera
I use the Gopro8, it's a camera that allows me to film at 1080p or 4k and has cool features like slow motion, time-lapse and warp-lapse.
I equipped the camera for vlogging so I have an extra screen that allows me to see myself while I record, an external microphone to capture better sound and that helps to cut the wind and an external light for when I record at night.
Not only is this camera super handy to travel around with, very light to shoot and super ideal for any radical sport, it is also waterproof which is a big plus. The camera can go up to 10 meters deep and up to 60 when I use the protective underwater case.
​
​
. It's a pretty light and small camera
. It's pretty seamless and doesn't draw much attention when you're filming.
. Shoot high-quality video and photos
. It has a lot of accessories that you can add to better adapt to the style of video you're shooting
. It has great automatic video stabilisation.
The gopro9 and 10 are already on the market with improved features :)
These are my favorite pros that make me love filming with the gopro:
My drone
I use the Drone DJI mini 2.
I love the DJI brand, is one of the leaders in the market and has drones for all likes and purposes.
I opted for a mini drone mainly because in most of my trips the space for my stuff is reduced.
The drone does not take up much space, is practical to carry with me and film my shots super well.
​
. Easy to carry with me and because it is mini and weighs 249g I don't need a license
. It films and photographs in 4K
. Has 31-Min Max Flight Time
. 10km Video Transmission
. Has intelligent Modes
​
These are my favorite pros that make me love filming with the drone:
My Iphone gimbal
I use the DJI Osmo Mobile 3 to be able to do more professional shoots with my iPhone and to use as a tripod while filming or photographing.
For certain jobs having a gimbal is important as I can get professional footage with much more stabilization and smoothness.
In these circumstances I record with my iPhone 11 as it also shoots at 4k and has great quality.
​
. GREAT for time-lapse
. Great tripod mount
. Own creative editing animations
. Face detector
​
These are my favorite pros that make me love filming with the gimbal:
My external microphone
I use the Robe Directional Microphone made specifically for small cameras. It allows me to get a better sound than with the camera mic and in case of wind, it helps a lot on cutting the noise and giving a much cleaner sound.
​
. Is directional so is focusing on the audio in front of the camera
. Improves the audio quality of the video
​
These are my favorite pros that make me love this external microphone:
My hard-drive
While traveling I shoot a lot of content daily that will soon fill up my storage space, so I need a place to keep my footage safe and organized.
I use the WD Black, 5TB gaming drive and because this drive is made for gaming it is an absolute beast in speed.
This way I can shoot content during the day and at night organize everything on my hard drive and go back to that content whenever I need to.
​
These are my favorite pros that make me love this hard-drive:
​
. Is super fast
. Has 5TB
