Steve, could you give an overview of
the equipment, process/es, time etc
you use to produce your videos …
Im trying to assess the resources, techniques, effort etc
required to produce such effective video coverage.

Hi there
I will be doing a video on my production equipment in a few weeks' time. In the meantime, here is a short version.
My camera equipment has changed over time. The current cameras are:
- Canon Legria HF G50 video camera - this is my main camera - I usually use it on a Manfrotto monopod to get the most stable footage.
- Insta360 One R - usually mounted to the windscreen and films, as the name implies, a 360 view - so it captures what we are looking at as well as us in the car. I can also set it up on a small selfie stick or tripod to get walking footage and vehicle drive-bys.
- DJI Osmo with built-in gimbal - awesome for landscapes and establishing shots with some movement
- DJI Mavic Pro drone - for arial shots - very cumbersome and many laws so I don't use it too often.
All cameras shoot in 4K except for the 360 which films 5,7K.
For sound:
- Two Rode Video Micros which I can mount on the Canon or Insta360.
- A Rode Wireless Go for talking to the camera (mainly when driving).
- A Zoom H5 recorder with shotgun capsule for capturing ambient sounds.
- A Rode NT1 studio microphone with AI1 interface for voiceovers.
For editing, I use Final Cut Pro X on my Imac. The editing process is really time consuming - I have never timed it but an edit can take several days or even weeks with an hour or two here and there per day.
Lastly, I get my music from Epidemic Sound - I have a monthly subscription.
I get a lot of joy from producing a good video. So, for me, the effort and time is worth it. In fact I am currently setting up a production company so I can do this kind of thing full time - I should be up and running by the end of the year.
Did I miss anything?

What I like about Steve's video's - and I have been watching them for nearly a decade, is that unlike other Youtubers, Steve doesn't do it for the Views - he makes his videos for himself.
So there is none of this 'please watch, please subscribe, click-bait crap'.
Also, not being like many other Youtubers, who get a few views & then think they are Hollywood A-listers . there is no ego dripping out of Steve's video.
Well done Steve, love your work...

I've watched all of Steve's videos and do enjoy the content and his way of doing things.

Enjoyed it so much.
Love the Karoo and the Western Cape areas. So many favourite spots on that trip.
I wish I could just leave on a trip like that right now.
Awesome.

Morning all. Following a number of enquiries about our overlanding setup, I put together a video demonstrating it.
