Hi all,
Something I've been thinking about for a while now is that I'd like to have a go at vlogging with my landscape photography. I'd rather buy budget gear to begin with to see if it's something that I like doing, so with that said, what would I need and what would you recommend?
I don't want to do this to make money, although like all us extra money is fine. When I go on photography trips, whether for the day, or a few days or a week it can feel a bit lonely sometimes, even though I quite enjoy being outdoors on my own, and so I thought it might be nice to have something to do to feel as though I am connecting with people who also love landscape photography. I can extend this to my Deep sky astrophotography hobby as well.
Camera - I have a Samsung Galaxy S9 but I think it would be better to have a camera with (better quality and) a flip out screen.
Microphone - sound quality must be decent and wind proof, so a camera with a microphone jack is necessary - which budget microphone with wind noise protection would you suggest?
Tripod - I've got a good tripod for landscape photography but for putting the vlogging camera on I'd need another one - I've owned one of the Manfrotto traveller tripods before which are around £100-150 so I'm thinking probably just get something like that again. Something light definitely so most probably carbon fibre.
Handheld Gimbal tripod ? Definitely need one of these.
If it's something that I take to then I could get a drone for different and more varied b-roll but for now it's really just to see if I like it, so a tripod, camera and microphone are the essential things I need. The camera is the one I am most unsure of as to what to get though. I don't fancy spending £500 on a vlog camera nor can I justify spending that much on one to begin with.
Lens/es - what lens/es would I need to begin with? I guess just one lens would suffice - a normal wide lens or something? To go with suggested camera.
Is there anything else I need? I don't need any help with the editing side of things at the moment and I think I'd be quite quick to pick that up anyway.
Thanks for any advice.
