Ever wondered how I film my videos? Here's the lightweight camera gear I use to film all my hikes and backpacking trips! I do not come from a videography background, and neither does my producer Rainer, and so when we film our outdoor adventures we like to take an easy-to-use camera kit that still delivers professional looking video, and I think this is the perfect set-up! If you're looking to start capturing your outdoor adventures, start vlogging your thru-hike, or just need lightweight camera gear for any other purpose, this is the perfect kit (plus accessories!) to get you started and feeling like a pro! Happy filming friends, see you outside!

@@MirandaGoesOutside Chim chiminee chim chim cher-ee!
For anyone wondering - the camera we use for indoor videos (like this one) is the Sony A7sIII with a 16-35mm f/4 lens. I have taken that into the field as well, but it’s kinda heavy and far pricier than the ZV-E1. And less beginner friendly too.
Try a camcorder when you get a chance. 😉
So, it's NOT a potato??? 😕
love how this channel is the opposite of gate keeping and always shares information to help folks out! keep up the awesome work🤟🧡
Heck yes!! Thank you - that's my goal, for sure. Thanks for watching! 💚
3:54 “the shorty extends this much… *gasp!*…. OH!” 😂
And big kudos to editor Katie (and Abby, Chelsea & Doug) for the stellar job she/they do to put all the footage together, including special visual and sound effects. I'd love a follow-up video with the rest of the process and editing tools y'all use. Thanks for the fun and informative video.
Ooh yeah! I’d love to see their editing process as well
That potato does an excellent job. Very clear picture 😂
It is a High Quality Idaho Russet Potato, 4K. Fancy Potato.
@@MirandaGoesOutside Ahhhh yes, no finer brand than an Idahoan
The topic no backpacking RUclipsr talks about!! Awesome. Thanks
The DJI Osmo Action 4 Outperforms GoPro in almost every way possible. The new low light sensor is a godsend. The batteries last much longer and the charging system is amazing; you can charge 3 batteries at once and it takes about 10 minutes to get one to 80%. The camera doesn't overheat or glitch out which is a notorious problem for GoPro. It can also go underwater twice as deep. The last thing I want when I am out in the wilderness is a camera that doesn't work or loses data.
Last year I used to Osmo Action 3 and had it recording every moment of my backpacking adventures for 8-12 hours a day. Only time I turned it off was when I was swapping batteries.
I pair the Osmo Action 4 with a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra for my backpacking adventures. Both are super compact and lightweight. They both do 4k @ 60FPS.
Good to know!
The Osmo Action 4 also connects directly with the DJI Mic 2
Follow-up request: how you edit videos! How you cut, transition or edit pacing, how you like to decorate with illustrations etc
True fact - this video contains at least one shot from a video not yet released, but coming soon! *winky face emoji*
It's the shot with the 95 delica isn't it!? So hyped here for that van build content!
@@gangwayforthatfalsestart😂 It’s not that one but I do linda want one of those Delica vans. They are dope! Maybe we’ll get one (when we can afford to do that) and make cool camper.
Cute shirt, Miranda! Fun video again as always.
This was awesome and I would love to see more about how your crew creates the content.
The BURP is back! SIGH of relief. 😁
I used to use a DSLR, then I was born again and started using a camcorder. It's not your soccer mom's camcorder, but what's known as a "prosumer" grade camera. They start at about $800, but because you don't have to buy multiple lenses like you have to with a DSLR/Mirrorless, it's all you pay for it besides maybe a mic which is about $50 from Rode. Compact, light, no need for opening up your camera body and exposing it to the elements while swapping out lenses, 25-600mm zoom (it's like having a telephoto, macro, wide lens all in one body) and now they come with onboard adjustments for typical stuff (ISO, aperture, etc..).
Just pop it on your tripod (or gimble), open it and WALA! ...instant video. No fidgeting around, no having to trying to tailor it to the shot and the autofocus is insanely simple. It's a point & shoot on steroids (unlike DSLR/Mirrorless that require readjusting everything every time you move it).
I can carry a whole kit in one small pod (about 8X3") and that'll hold 3 batteries (for a good 5 hours of constant shooting) and OH! they don't overheat or break up the footage in clips every 30 minutes! You can literally just put the camera on and let it record for hours without worrying about it having a meltdown.
DSLR/Mirrorless cameras are photography cameras that shoot videos, but camcorders are legitimate videography cameras. All the hunters are switching back to camcorders now after losing so much footage with their DSLRs & mirrorless cameras.
The footage is nice too. I suck at taking my time and getting nice shots, but the one time I did it (the moon video on my channel), I was stunned at the footage. It was like NASA took the shot. I could clearly see all the craters on the moon.
I have a GoPro too, but GoPro is like Adobe Premier Pro. It's overpriced and unreliable. When it works, it's AWESOME, but when it doesn't, it's horrible and frustrating. It's too finicky and I can't stand taking good footage and HOPING that my GoPro actually caught it.
What BRAND do you use? I could afford that. I really want to work on my channel, and I'm a freakin' Luddite and am not good with tech. I need the KISS principle applied here.
@lanecountybigfooters5716 Panasonic VX1, but Sony makes a great camcorder too.
I love you Miranda! You’re content inspires me to get outside more and you always make me smile 💕💕💕
Awww love you back!! Thank you!!
I was just thinking this morning I wish more backpacking RUclipsrs would give some tips on how they film their amazing content. As an up and coming content creator thank you so much!!
That dance showing your fanny pack totally cracked me up, you can be sooo funny! Thank you for all this information on camera equipment so I will be making a list and checking it twice. I only have 2-arms thus 2-trekking poles, but maybe I am weird. Oh, I should have waited. Great video, cute, and very informative.
I've seen people strap a hand warmer (the kind you put in your mittens) to the gopro to help the battery last in the cold. Might be something for you to try.
As a Gopro user, I can definately recommend a couple of useful accessories to that as well - the "Gopro Hero Media Mod" gives you a better "internal" microphone, but also gives you a 3.5 mm jack so you can use wireless microphones by connecting the reciever to the Media Mod, as well as a USB-C socket for charging the battery or uploading files into the computer straight via the Media Mod instead. You can also get the "Gopro Light Mod", which is a small LED light which you attach by sliding it into a socket ontop of the Media Mod, and then you have a light when for example vlogging in low light.
A little late to comment but just have to point out that the special mounting plate Miranda has on the trekking pole tripod adapter (super cool btw) is based on the Arca-Swiss standard of mounting plates, so if you have ANY Arca-Swiss compatible plate it will work with the tripod mount, HOWEVER not all Arca-Swiss plates are created equal, the Peak Designs capture clip (the backpack attachment used for the ZV-E1) will pretty much ONLY work with their own Peak Design plate because the mechanism used for the capture clip has the same size slot as an Arca-Swiss plate but doesn't only use a clamping force on the sides of the plate it uses the small holes and triangle-ish extrusions on the bottom of the plate as well.
TLDR is Peak Design capture clip plate will work with ANY Arca-Swiss mount but not all Arca-Swiss compatible plates will work with the capture clip.
I just realized how big the wall of text I wrote actually is, hopefully I helped give anyone curious far more details than necessary and maybe save them like idk a dollar or two on mounting hardware.
That's exactly what I was wondering! Thank you soooo much So basically, I I already have the Peak Design clip, I could buy any Arca mounting plate to screw onto my gorilla pod and then I'm good to go quick and easy? I have both DSLR and GoPro on my straps on a clip and could easily switch any camera to the tripod?
@@daenathedreamy9053 effectively any Arca plate yes, there are some weird like SUPER specific ones that don't like the peak clips for some weird reason but I've come across maybe like two of those in the practically hundreds of mounts I've used over the years.
Another hilarious, and highly informative video! Thank you, Abby, Kyle and Chelsea!!!!! Thanks, Mrs. Poppins-Doubtfire, and thank you, dear Miranda!❤
Thanks for the joy you always bring to my life, and to my 116,000+ fellow admirers' as well! You do good! ❤
P. S. The Smallrig SD storage case didn't make the gear list.
🤣 potatoes 😂😂. Miranda and Rainer kill me 😅😅keep it going
😄 glad you appreciate our sense of humor!!
Consecutive Miranda Goes Outside!! videos without a burp: 0
love these updates, we have the best channel community
Spoiler alert 😂
She did burp in this video
Seriously, y’all rule💚
@@lizzietrot2522 Seconded!
I love your informational videos! Also, your hair is marvelous and is stealing your limelight.
The ultralight tripod adapter is blowing my mind right now! Thank you for this, I never fail to learn something from your videos.
That trekking pole adapter and attachment will be a game changer! We already had a peak design clip and hadn’t gotten a gorilla pod because we would have had to remove the clip each time. Great info!
Thank you so much for making this lol I really needed it 💙
You’re amazing!
So glad to hear you guys use the ZV-E1, it's a solid camera. I never had trekking poles, but the multi purpose use with the tripod makes me want to get it for my hikes. Great video
It’s super solid. I love it!
Great vid! I will be attempting video this year on my travels. Also love your shirt! You always have the coolest clothes…which btw I love my ‘See you Outside’ sweatshirt! 💕
Awesome video! As someone who has backpacked exactly once and used a DJI gimbal + iPhone to record the trip, this is super useful in the case that I want to get more serious with it ✨also it’s just fun to know more about the behind the scenes :)
Honestly would love to also know even more technical specifics of y’all shoot (4k vs 1080?) and it’d be interesting to hear about the post-process work as well!
hell yes I needed this vid! so rad! trying to film sketching on the trail better this is going to help so much!
Thanks for recommending LMNT. When I hiked in the Camino in Spain, I found and loved canned orange Aquarius, but can't get that here in the USA. I'm not a fan of a lot of other electrolyte options I tried. LMNT is great. It is lightweight and easy to use. Can't wait to try it in a hot coffee.
As a hiker, cosplayer, and cosplay photographer this video was so useful for me! Thanks so much!
Thank you so much for this info. And yes I would be interested in what the crew packs. I struggle to balance my photo gear wants with my backpacking needs without it becoming a 50lb pack!
Thanks Miranda! I wanted to look at a waterproof hood and that abstraction of a cover is perfect! This was awesome!!! I've been using the Aoka Tripod for my Cannon and its 1lb...works FANTASTIC!
Rainer is always picture perfect ready for the camera
Very helpful! Thank you!
Miranda!! You look sooo pretty in this video🥰 So much good information about filming, thank you.
ahhh thank you!! 🥰
Amazing ad always!
Great tips thanks for sharing
This video has great timing, next weekend I was going to attempt to bring my camera for my first backpacking trip of this season. 😀
Oh my gosh yes!! I’m obviously biased, but filming my trips makes it that much more fun for me!
I picked up a few good tips. Its always nice to see how others do their setups.
Sweet, happy to hear that!
Great info!
Heeeeyyyy.. soooo there was a video you made when you were still apart of REI youtube... and you said if you got 100k subscribers you would do a mushroom foraging video.. lol ive been waiting for this day. 😆 (Currently 117k) It was in your 'A day in my life as a backpacker *fall edition*' video. Would love to see more 'day in the life' backpacking trips! Much love. ✌️🫶😊
For pure vlogging i thing the best you can get is the DJI OSMO Pocket line of cameras.For outdoors and mountaineering camera nothing can beat Olympus / OM System in terms of weather resistance , image stabilization and weight- compact footprint.I had my 9 years old Olympus EM5 Mk.2 inside the tent at -20'C and the next morning was just ready to take some more photos.Beside-it was a frozen solid bottle of water and a happy me to be in the mountains.Since then i upgraded to Olympus OM1 and is even better 😍
Agree I use the pocket cam for most of my content
Awesome tips! I'd recommend ditching the camera cage and handle though (I would ditch the strap too)! Useless weight that won't make your videos look better, cheers!
Totally agree they add weight, but I find it worth it to have the handle and cage. We film outside all the time and the cage helps protect the camera from drops, as does the strap since I regularly have to use my hands for things, and often suddenly. On a recent trip I misjudged a step off of a rock and had to suddenly shoot out my hands to stop myself from falling flat on my face from a decent height. Because of the strap, the camera just swung from my neck and was undamaged when I let go of it. Without the strap it falls 6 feet and hits a rock. Another benefit is that the strap helps me go without a gimbal for some stabilization. Miranda and I are new to being videographers, relatively, and so our muscles have not developed that experienced camera-person smoothness. To help with that when we're filming we just stretch the strap against our necks to make it taught, and use our entire body as a counter weight for smoother and easier pans, tilts and dollies. Not perfect, but does help. Also, the mounting options for things like onboard mics, HDMI clamps, and so on, is great with the cage seeing as the ZV-E1 lacks a good deal places where mounts can be attached to the camera body itself. My hands also get quite sweaty and warm and so by having my hands off the camera on the handle, especially when hiking, I can keep it from collecting sweat and overheating and roll it for long periods. So for me it's weight that's worth it for far easier handling of the camera, even though in terms of picture quality they don't add anything. Definitely agree with you that in an ideal world we don't use a cage or strap or handle and save the weight. Miranda will often take that handle off when she films solo.
Miranda has also just told me she doesn't want the cage on there either, haha! So hey... definitely a personal preference thing!
Great video
More, more 🌞
Big UPs for lugging that Sony on the trail! Great video.
That was really interesting seeing what you use. Seeing you realize the little GoPro handle was longer than you thought was priceless.
I use a GoPro Hero 9 with a custom 3D-printed handle when my friend and I go on adventures, and for all the issues, it gets the job done. My friend LOVES doing water shots and having the camera already water-resistant is a HUGE plus, not to mention almost anyone can use it with minimal to no training. And you can pick them up second-hand pretty cheap if you are on a tight budget.
really great video.
As a beginner hiking youtuber, this video was pretty useful for me, thank you for making it :)
"When we have really inclement weather" and then an add for hotels. It fit so well, just wanted to share
Great video! Thank you for sharing. I have always struggled with camera gear on my hiking trips and just because of the ease of use i end up using the gopro the most. How is the stabilization on Sony ZV1? Do you ever walk while filming on the Sony or is it pretty much used on a a tripod?
Thanx for the video! Love it... but... How do you put your gopro to the shoulder strap AND to the shorty at the same time? Does that double mount come with the shoulder strap? Would love to have that combo..
gosh darn it Rainer!
Have you tried the GoPro Enduro Batteries? They are made for cold conditions and I use them in winter all the time. Winter camping, ski touring, snowboarding... It is night and day compared to the normal batteries.
Long time admirer; first time commenter. Love your t-shirt! What is the brand?
Love the concept of reducing my tripod weight of 35oz to 8.6oz. Thanks for that very helpful tip!
You’re so welcome! It’s definitely a big weight saver!
Oh hey, i have the same lens. Nice!
I think I can help alleviate some annoyance at 12:18! I used to use an arca swiss screw mount to allow me to use the peak designs clip and a tripod, but twisting the knob to attach it to the tripod was always annoying and I never knew if I tightened it enough. After some digging, I found that the F38 system has a super solid quick release that also has a plate that works with peak designs in one direction and the F38 system in the other. Much faster, much more secure. Maybe it will be a nice upgrade for your setup.
I love the electric kettle on the wood burning stove behind you.
😆 to make matters better, it's actually a gas fireplace.
And that fireplace has, I am pretty sure, never been turned on. That kettle does get used though!
Love watching y'all and thanks for the great tips! Was wondering, which attachment did y'all use to get the GoPro to the shorty stick AND the clip which slides into Telesin Pack Mount? Can't figure out how to have all three :'( (GoPro + Shorty Tripod + Quick Release Buckle Clip)
Oh! Didn't know the Telesin strap came with the mount needed. Ordered it and excited!
You’re hairs soo pretty 🤩
I have the Peak Design clips as well and love them dearly. Do you know of any adapter plate to mount on a Gorilla tripod that is compatible with the Peak Design clip? My goal would be to have the big camera on my strap clip and in the case of need get my tripod out of my backpack and quickly slide the camera in. Thank you so much for the very informative video and greetings from Germany!
you need to get enduro batteries for the gopro, the grey ones. I used them when i ski and they are good, they're not discharging
I attached a cheap handlebar mount on my trekking pole and now it's a monopod for my GoPro. Works great.
Miranda this is super off topic but your hair looks so pretty in this vid!!
I need to know what kind of potato you were using and spud lens.....😁
Have you ever had batteries arc out?, I usually have covers of each battery but I just had one arc out and burnt, think it was a random little easter egg I had in there that crossed the load over!
How do you connect the GoPro shorty and still have a standard slide mount for attaching to your pack, are you using an adapter? 4:37
Notification squad!!
yeah!!!
Always
Hell yeah!!
REPORTING FOR DUTY!!
What brand is that hoodie you’re wearing when you were talking about LMNT? Love it!
Can you use hand warmers on GoPro battery?
❤
I’m really interested in picking up some of Insta360’s newest set of cameras for our hiking and camping channel
Another option for the GoPro could be the DJI Osmo. I’ve heard it does much better in the cold.
Hey, Miranda. Have you tried attaching a hand warmer pack to the back of your GoPro to keep it warmer when the temperatures drop? It might help extend your battery life.
fuji xe-3 or xe-4 with the 18-55 weighs like 500g total, would recommend
I love the idea of the tripod adapter gadget but sadly I only use a single trekking pole. And I suspect adding two legs probably pushes the weight close to my current travel tripod. (Although it would still extend higher I guess!) Something to investigate for sure.
Did you try the Enduro / white batteries (if available) for your GoPro model? Those are supposed to last pretty last.
Thoughts on the Action 4? Heard the battery holds up way better.
I have a knockoff version of the GoPro selfie/tripod and I like it, but it can be a little tippy sometimes if I have it extended all the way up. I wish it had longer legs.
What kind of socks are those? They look super comfy 😮
Id love to see more about the cameras. My own personal setup as always been underwhelming
Question, how does Miranda attach a GoPro mount clip to her camera and the Shorty tripod?
What's the name of the ultralight tripod adapter? I'd like to try it out.
Miranda have you tried the new GoPro Enduro batteries? I just got some for my Hero 9, haven't tested it in cold weather yet though.
what model of your lens using on your filming? -thanks ed
Hey there Miranda, sorry it’s been so long we should totes catch up😂. But I was curious if you’re still doing the running? And if yes what’s the progress looking like? Love ya your amazing and I can’t wait for 2024 Miranda🎉
My only issue with the trekking pole tripod was that I couldn’t use the tripod once I setup my tent since I use a trekking pole tent. That forced me back to a standalone tripod.
This is definitely a real issue! The standalone tripods have their strengths, for sure. Elina Osborne uses one that’s super light!
How are you guys getting along with the camera rain cover?
I use the lenscoat rain cover, because i usually use it with a 600mm lens. But i found that i get condensation inside quite fast and think that this is probably more dangerous to the camera (at least something rugged like a D850 etc.) than just straight rain that can be wiped off easily from time to time...
But honestly - it's just a (mildly educated) guess. So would be interesting to hear how you're getting along with camera raincovers.
What are your thoughts on the DJI Osmo pocket? I’ve seen a few through hikers use it too.
I've never used it, but I hear great things! Several of my RUclips buddies swear by it.
Have you guys experienced any overheating issues with the zv-e1?
We haven’t, no! We had a few issues with our other camera overheating occasionally, but not yet with the ZV-E1
Do you record straight into the dji and match the audio later?
We do! All the audio records internally into the DJI lav mic, and then we sync it later!
Love to see the sync process!
Hi miranda and company
New to the channel. And new to the civilian out door (recently ex army) what are your thoughts on bivy bags and military surplus equipment for backpacking (I have a lot left over from my time in indentured servitude) and I am wondering if it would be sufficient? Thoughts? Concerns? Interesting anecdotes?
Alot of that stuff will work and u can use it til you get some lighter stuff
How do solo hikers film those approach shots? They set up the camera, run back, and film themselves walking by? Do they do that all the time?
I love the GoPro when it works but it can be a bit finicky sometimes about micro SD cards in my experience-- sometimes it just doesn't want to read them. Drives me nuts! Have you ever tried the Osmo Pocket? I've heard good things about them from other hikers but haven't tried one myself.
Also this is not related to anything, but your hair looks great in this video!
I was thinking of switching to the Pocket Osmo, because a few channels I follow use it, but it's not water resistant at all. So you need to use something else when it rains, which would be a PITA. It does work in super cold temps tho, which the Go Pro does not! So they each have frustrating pros and cons.
@@musingwithreba9667Can the GoPro be powered by on external battery? Maybe run a USB cable from battery pack inside a pocket?
I love my Osmo Pocket! I film trail runs with it. I have the exact same problem with those damn GoPro micro SDs, too....I'm forced to use the app and transfer footage to my phone, then laptop. Ugh
@@memathews yes and no. To use an external battery pack you have to remove the battery/Sd card door, which then makes it not waterproof anymore and dust can get in the SD card slot.
❤️🔥
How do you keep track of your lens cap?
Honestly, it gets lost far too often 🥴 I'll tuck it in my pocket or in the hip pack, but sometimes it walks off and I proceed to panic until I find it.
