CAMERAS

 

Sony FX3

A beast of a compact and lightweight cinema camera for everyday filmmakers. We use it for shooting our YouTube videos, to high budget productions, and everything in between.

This was our first camera. We used this bad boy for everything and when the FX3 came out, we didn’t “jump” to buy it. This is still a great camera and we still use it for our B cam. Kajun loves this for lightweight vlogging and photography.

A great vlogging camera.

GoPro HERO10 Black

What we currently use on our FPV drones.
