WHO AM I?
If we haven't met before... Hi, I'm Ruth 👋 and I recently bought a campervan to travel my home country of Scotland after living overseas for 12 years. I’ve hardly seen anything or been anywhere in Scotland and now is the time to change that!

I realised after filming this video, it’s called an arca swiss plate and not an arc swiss plate, oops!
Let me know in the comments below which thumbnail design in your favourite.👇

I like the 50 dollar thumb nail, sometimes called click bait it's made me watch a video I wouldn't normally have watched.
Just to clarify Ruth, I wasn't meaning your videos, I meant other videos I might not have watched.
@@colinblack7049 Thanks Colin!
Whatever kit you're using you are a professional video maker...................... Number 1 on RUclips.
Awww that’s so kind. Thank you!
While I am not a RUclipsr or videographer, I still find behind-the-scenes and how-to videos really interesting. I did a few marketing videos for my previous employer after taking a course and that gave me some insight into the process and a HUGE amount of respect for those who put together such thoughtful and beautifully shot videos like yours, Ruth. It's not as easy as people think! I had an equine photography business for over 20 years and always used Sony cameras, too. :)
Thanks for watching this video! Wow an equine photography business, that sounds so interesting!
It was a lot of work but a lot of fun, too. I started out with my grandfather's old Miranda camera (100% manual and heavy...no plastic parts in that camera) and moved onto Sonys later purely for the reason that the lenses I had already invested in fit the Sony DSLR I purchased. I still have a Sony camera for taking game photos of a local elite hockey team I volunteer with but am retired from the horse show photography. Great memories though! @@ruthaisling
I did not realise how much effort and work went into editing a video and the results of all that hard work are shown in the excellent quality of your u tube vids .
Thanks John, yes it's a lot of work but I enjoy the whole process!
RUclips is about all we watch and for every quality vlog like Ruth's, there are hundreds that think the process is easy.
Another great video Ruth, as you say weight is important, I met an old truck driver in Canada who had separate cameras with different lenses on them. He did that to make sure no dust, or stoor as we say in Scotland, got in when the lenses were being changed. It looks like an expensive business making RUclips videos.
Ah yes, dust on the lens or sensor is the worst, it ruins the whole shot. He sounds like a smart guy!
You could make a paper bag look interesting lol , so much involved in the RUclips videos we watch, great channel Ruth 😊
Thank you so much!
Great video Ruth! That is a lot of equipment you use. You use them wonderfully together to make really lovely videos! ❤
Thanks so much! 😊
Some serious tech there Ruth.
In aviation we have these conumdruns as well in regards to headsets,software for flight planning & air traffic/airspace applications.
Excellent vlog from you & really appreciate your time putting together the content for us.
Look forward to the upcoming vlogs.
Take care & enjoy your travels 😊
Thanks Sean!
Looks to be well chosen and researched equipment. The Olympus picture was superior to the iPhone, and the $50 thumbnail was my favourite. The drone picture quality was amazing
Excellent video. Great content and presentation.
Your equipment seems very well researched, without anything superfluous in your pack. I suspect working with Final Cut Pro would be the steepest learning curve. I do like the most expensive thumbnail for sure… should be for the price! Thanks for all the info. I was particularly interested in your drone … the shots you take with it are breathtaking!
Thanks Ben! Yes the editing software does take time to get the hang of. I did an online course a few years ago over a few days and from then I've been able to use Final Cut Pro
Been working my way through your videos in a rather haphazard manner (sometimes based on the thumbnails!!!) -- and really appreciate all the time and effort (and equipment) that you put into your regular travel videos, but this was a great bonus (have not made it to the Scottish foods video yet). Thank you for sharing all of your equipment and techniques wrapped up in the 'This is what works for me, but you may find other things work for you.' attitude. Yep -- each person is different, their subject/location/topic may be different and their aesthetic sense may be different -- so it's very refreshing to hear someone who isn't saying, 'This is the only camera/microphone/drone/software/etc that you should use.' But your examples bring out the pros and cons of what you use, and some of the options -- very fair minded and well presented. I never would have thought of outsourcing things like the thumbnails -- but that's an awesome idea -- a savings of time and effort for sure, and you really were not paying a lot through Fiverr. Thank you for taking the time to put this video together -- though I did miss the yummy meals/snacks that you have in your travel videos!!! 😁 -- and don't forget the open invitation for you and Ernie (he just needs some pontoons and a propeller!) to pop over to the States to do some travelling and videos!
I’m really glad you’re enjoying the videos! Thank you 🙏
Hi Ruth, just started following your content so lot's to catch up on. I'm currently at your episode about gas and thought "Tools" - this is one of the best you can have available. I live 50% on and off a narrowboat. Cylinder changes bring their own challenges, so early on I invested in the Honeywell EzSense Flammable Gas Detector Wand. This allows you to simply check near the gas bottle connection, the pipework etc., and within the space you occupy. Its easy to use and very accurate in my five year canal experience of using it. Note: I am not sponsored for this product.
That looks such a useful tool, I was thinking I needed something like that. Thanks so much for sharing!
The quality of your videos is outstanding. Your channel is one of the best on RUclips. Very professional. It’s obvious you are very skilled and know what you are doing. Of course the subject manner is important too. Who doesn’t love Scotland?
Thanks Robert, I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying the videos!
Nice stuff you’re using. Didn’t know having to get a license depends on the drones’ weight. Also on every video you always look impeccable.
Always interesting to see the behind the scenes of how things are done. No argument on that in your hands, your kit does make for engaging videos. :)
I'm glad you found the video interesting, thanks for watching Mike!
Wonderful work as always, Ruth! Keep it up for your fans! Cheers!
Thank you!
That's a fascinating insight into your creative world! Thanks Ruth :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Looks and sounds all very professional!!
Thank you 🙏
Very informative video on gear required. I like the camera backpack..The contrasting colour scheme of grey /blue in your camper is eye catching as indeed is your pretty image on all the thumbnails
Thanks, the backpack has been really great and is so comfortable to wear!
Thankyou Ruth, what a lovely story.
Great info, thanks Ruth!
Glad it was helpful!
Omfg Ruth, you are absolutely AMAZING X
When i started doing youtube (im not in the same league as you Ruth)
I was told 'the best kit to use is what you have available" ie mobile phone, i do have a gopro 9 but not used it in ages
Great video and interesting content Ruth - well explained!
Thanks so much!
今日も素敵な動画をありがとう💘

This was amazing information. Thank you so much for generously sharing your tips.
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent video! Thank you.
Thanks!
Good afternoon Ruth glad I found you always interested in Scotland even though from USA and my daughter in law Japanese so I was very interested in watching you. Well your videos are great of course my husband loved all the scotch distillery’s but to the point of todays video excellent explaining all the equipment and skills needed for a you tube start up thx stay safe see you soon 😘🌸🌺🌼
Thank you Linda! I'm glad to hear you have been enjoying the videos. Have you ever visited Japan?
Ruth just watched your video again , the tools you use to make your videos. And your just so amazing just love it keep it up 👍
Thanks so much 😊
That was very interesting, what content in about 15minutes!! You are a real pro Ruth, well done. Cheers Mike🍷🍷
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent !
Love this Ruth. I have just started out my RUclips journey and have learnt a lot just watching videos like this. It’s difficult to know where to start in the beginning but I have recently upgraded my phone to the Iphone14 pro and the camera is amazing.
Amazing! All the best with your new channel. I watched your hiking video, the views are stunning!
@@ruthaisling Thanks Ruth😊
Ruth, you said you dropped your camera once. Maybe look at peak design cuff if you are going to walk about with the camera hand held. I have two of them for my Canon cameras, when I don't need to use it I just unclip it and use peak design sling strap, as the peak design universal clips fit all their straps and cuffs.
Thanks!
That is so kind, thank you!
Your expertise is admirable. I prefer Sony gear, as well, but what I have is prosumer at best.
I'm more of a dork, than anything. hence more prone to building drones than outright camera work.
I own the same Sony camera but have hardly used it. Bought it to shoot video with - however I have 2 Sony video cameras - one old prosumer and 1 low-end professional. SmallRig cage - 👍.
Shoot more often - but just stills - with the older Sony a6000. Have a lot of Sony and Sigma lenses.
Had some older Sony Nex camera bodies but wasn’t happy with them,
A cautionary note on that beautiful iPhone - make sure the lenses are clean. A smudge can make your shots look softer.
I use a Sennheiser wireless mic and the same Rode faux shotgun. Just bought a better Sennheiser shotgun mic for the camera.
Used their broadcast mics in tv production for years.
I own the DJI mini 2 drone but haven’t used it much
I have over 800 videos on youtube! None are edited though. I really want to learn to edit. I did put a video together once using imovie but I didn't cut anything, just joined it all together! Hours & hours of it. What you do is fabulous Ruth (ps I have the nearly same laptop, yours is newer!)
ショータも良い機材使ってるからルースさんも良いもの使ってますね🎉
Great video and very informative im sure to those who want to get into youtubing. So expensive mind you. Ill stick to the esse of being a viewer. Love the videos.
The more expensive thumbnails are far too busy and turn me off the most as I am a keen advocate for KISS, and a minimalist approach, therefore I would go with the cheapest version. For filming I use a Sony PXW-Z150 Camera, which is a big heavy to lug around so use a small 4K action camera or my iPhone for filming on the go as they both integrate well with my bigger 4K camera. For editing I also use Final Cut Pro X and started with the earlier versions in 1999, so I have been doing for a while now. I like your story telling and filming and appreciate finding all about Scotland, the place my forebears came from.
Thanks for sharing your know-how, I was particularly interested in your drone .how did you learn to fly it ?
Just practicing, I fly it most days now and each time I'm getting better and more confident!
Hi 😊 I’d love to know how you made the little animation of your campervan travelling around Isla please 🙏
I work with an amazing freelancer to help me with those, but you can make the images in photoshop then within the editing software make the movements. There will be some videos on YT about how to do it!
Ruth what ever phone your using your amazing you look amazing to love it
ルースさんの映像いつもきれいで透明感があります。SONYを使っていただいてるんですね。日本製で嬉しいです。ルースさんの腕もいいからですね。ドローンもいつも美しい‼️
やはり50ドルの価値はありますね😂
楽しみに待ってます😊
画質を気に入ってくれてうれしい。コメントありがとう。
Fascinating. I wondered how you made such precise complex videos. Illuminating and helpful. Many thanks. Rmb5*
Glad it was helpful!
Ruth さん
こんにちは😊
いつも、スコットランドの景色をありがとうございます。
私の好きな映画、ブレイブハートやアウトランダーのシーンが目に浮かびます。
でも撮影機器の多さにビックリです。
憧れますが70爺さんには複雑過ぎて、映像を見るだけに専念します。
これからも、素晴らしい映像を楽しみにしています。
ビデオを見てくれて感謝している。ありがとう。
Hi Ruth, interesting video and beautiful shots of Scotland. Do you use a tripod when filming with your iPhone?
I sometimes use the phone with the tripod to take photos for Instagram, I have a phone clip like this one: amzn.to/3Zsqg9u
Yeah I use a Sony too!
Nice!
Hi Ruth, love the channel. What does epidemic sound cost?
Thank you David. I pay £13 per month and use the music across three platforms - RUclips, Instagram and TikTok. There is a 30 day free trial which is worth a try so you can check it out and see if there is music you like before making any payments.
Looks a great setup. Do the arca-swiss plates clip into the Peak Design thingy too?
Yes, but the arca swiss plate used for the peak design capture clip needs to be a peak design arca swiss plate. I use the plate which came with the peak design capture clip and then it fits into the tripods
@@ruthaisling That's pretty handy. I never knew there were third party systems like that.
For videos aimed at Japan, longer is better.
You are already popular. I want to watch videos longer than 30 minutes.
The beauty of Scotland is...
Long videos are good.
There is a long travel video coming next week, please look forward to it!
Hi Ruth, I've watched several of your videos now. Planning to visit Scotland in May next year. Hey has anyone told you that you seem to say the word "channel" with a slightly Japanese accent? Just something I keep noticing in each video.
Amazing, I hope you have a great time here!
During Covid while I was in Japan I pretty much only spoke Japanese for 3 years. There was a period of 6 months I didn’t speak English with another native speaker in real life haha. It’s actually been an adjustment speaking English all the time again. I sometimes say weird sentences or pronunciations and take a few seconds to remember words, it probably sounds strange since English is my native language 😂
Hey Ruth !
Hey Mark, hope you're well 👋
スコットランドの旅 楽しみにしています
Thank you Ruth for sharing your know-how. I won't be satisfied unless I do the editing myself, but the bags for mountain climbing are lightweight and durable. You have to be careful about rain, dust, and temperature, but if you're going to use them for traveling, you should have multiple compact devices and be careful about batteries and storage media.
Thank you, yes lightweight is so important otherwise I get a sore back and the bag is so heavy to carry around everywhere
Hallo Ruth
Sorry for my english
excelent equipment.but the name deadcat mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
i love the cats.🐱
well i will see you in other occasion.
greetings
tony
Haha thanks for watching Tony!
Jeez. $50 for that thumbnail? I am in the wrong business. I should be using my IT skills for design thumbnails at $50 a pop! 😂😂
The Mavic Mini 3 Pro looks really good. Careful with a lighter tripod, or it won't be so steady in a bit of wind!
Yeah more than I would usually spend, but the result was good and the freelancer didn’t need much direction so for some people maybe that is worth the price!
If you have the skills, why not set up a freelancer profile on Fiverr! I have yet to master photoshop so it’s easier for me to hire someone to help at the moment.
I really recommend the Mavic mini 3 pro, it was a great purchase!
@@ruthaisling I will certainly look into it! Thanks!
The 5 dollar thumb nail is the one I would click on. I am having issues about RUclips thumb nails being too glitzeeee. Too glitzeeee generally means poor content begging for a click. Text on the thumb nail helps to communicate the video content. Questionable thumb nailed videos get a random 4 click 4 second sampling before seeing if the comments have been disabled. Disabled comments generally means a propaganda video. As a general rule it is thumbs down or just on to something else if the screen test fails.
元気にしててよかったー^_^
🤖equipment👍. 寒く成ってきますね ⛄. Scot.の白い大地が楽しみです✨(温かい食べ物も🍲).
スコットランドにも日本の鍋があればいいのに。なんとか作ってみようかな。
I’d use the $50 one. I guess you get what you pay for 👍
ルースさん❣️💕🤗
Now you become a professional RUclipsr. I suppose you have a lot of knowledge and skills in DIY and filmmaking. Have you had already those skills or have you gotten after working with “Shorta”. Now he reported many news from USA.
Shota and I learnt all our DIY and film-making skills over the last few years through trial and error and giving it a try!
Dead kitten because it's small🤣
I think this should have come with a disclaimer that 26000 youtube subs does not buy £8000 worth of kit. And this was all privately funded. The apple gear alone was £3500!
Hi Mick, thanks for your comment.
I’d like to clarify something from the video. I didn't say that this RUclips channel purchased all this equipment recently. In fact, I only started this channel a few months ago. Some of the gear isn't even new; for example, the laptop I'm using is five years old. In my first video on this channel (you might have missed it), I mentioned that I had been doing RUclips even before starting this channel. Before this channel, I was part of another channel, and I gradually collected these tools over the years.
I'm extremely grateful that people have enjoyed the videos on this new channel and subscribed. This support has enabled me to start making money through Adsense and brand partnerships. I've reinvested all that income from the last few months into recent purchases like the bag, drone, and a new lens (I got it at half price during a sale) because I want to improve my video quality and make nice videos about Scotland.
These purchases are investments in my work, much like a carpenter buying a drill or a hairstylist investing in hair dryers and styling tools.
I understand that it might seem like a substantial expense initially, but it wasn't always this way. When the previous channel started, a GoPro3 was used for filming, which was already a six year old camera at the time, it was challenging to even afford a microphone or tripod. It took over a year before there were enough funds to upgrade equipment and enhance videos.
What you see in this video is the result of four years of hard work, with very few days off, and consistent effort to build the other RUclips channel. Now, I can use this equipment to create videos while I'm back in Scotland.
I admit that I could have shared more of my backstory in this video, but I tend to avoid mentioning the other channel since I'm no longer a part of those videos, and I want to focus my efforts on this new channel.
Where is the Japan boy ?
In USA
カメラ機材でいくらかかってるのかな？それも世界のブランドのソニーですよ、これだけの機材を持っているのはもう撮影のプロですね、そしてバックパッカーのカメラバックは私の勘ですがルースさんが前月の8月に日本に居たときに大阪のヨドバシカメラで買ったやつじゃないかな？それとカメラ機材もね、次からのバンライフが非常に楽しみです、頑張って下さいね。
How much does camera equipment cost？It's Sony, which is a world renowned brand, and anyone who owns all this equipment must be a professional photographer, and I have a hunch that Ruth-san was in Japan the privious month in August, Isn't this the one I bought at Yodobashi Camera in Osaka？I'm also looking forward to the next van life, and I with you all the best with your camera equipment😊
カメラ機材は安いものではない。
レンズとカメラバッグは、イギリスで買うより日本で買った方がずっと安かったので、先月大阪で買いました！
応援ありがとうございました。
As a professional youtuber, thank you for delivering a wonderful video! ( ´▽`)
Thank you!
お元気でなによりです。日本に滞在中のルースと別人に見えるんですけど、ぼくだけですかな
Do you prefer to travel alone Ruth? It says a lot for you to travel alone.
I think I prefer travelling with friends overall but I do enjoy solo trips too
日本🇯🇵に帰って来てください😊
いつかそうするよ。僕は日本が大好きなんだ。
Please give your kind consideration to Shota
Great info - thanks Ruth.
Glad it was helpful 👍
