What is your fave camera + lens combo? (stuck on a desert island, it's all you have for the rest of your life) **also beware of scammers in the comments, I will not be messaging you on youtube**
I've been using my EOS M6 mark II with a Sigma 16-35. I use it for TV documentary work. That's it. Maybe an additional nifty fifty. I know this gear like the back of my hand.
Tbh I really don’t know, I have too many fave cameras but if I were to choose it would probably be my Canon 5D mkIV, it’s got everything I need (apart from in body image stabilization and a bunch of other stuff)
Loving my c70 with some vintage nikkor lenses or just a classic 24-70. Internal ND is just too important :). But I'm really honestly, currently my favourite is my original A7s with these cheap Pergear manual focus 35mm f1.4 lenses for photos of the kids lol. Don't forget you can technically buy a 49mm to 77mm or 82mm step up ring without needing to stack 7 or 8 or them. Like 10 bucks on Amazon :).
oh hi. youtube has done something strange and now the video is out of sync. my apologies. hoping this fixes itself soon as it wasn't like this always?!
No dodads, wingdings … just the gear you need to to be a successful film maker. So good to see so many new people on this channel! You deserve it Mark. AOD is the best ❤
Finally popped into AOD a few months ago and have already been a part of a number of shoots with local AOD filmmakers. What a dope community for those of us just starting out!
Looks like a hell of a setup, and the samples of footage used to create this giveaway video were perfect demonstrations. Entered and crossing my fingers!!
Thanks for making storytelling more real, it's hard to find a genuiness in a industry that will ask you to give everything to it and give little back in return. You are a help to the people who love this the most. Thanks for inspiring me to tell more stories, and create constantly.
I'm so excited to watch more of your videos to increase my documentary skills. I live in Eastern Kentucky where there are so many stories to tell, but not enough filmmakers such as myself in this area to bring these stories to life. Thanks for everything that you do, Mark!
This channel has helped me with probably the most important aspect of filmmaking: the storytelling aspect. One of the few RUclips channels that doesn’t always push gear as the answer to making good videos, hopeful to be the lucky winner but also hopeful for anyone that wins to get a chance to up their game or get their foot in the door of filmmaking.
You guys have been so amazing to upcoming filmmakers like myself. I’ve entered the contest as I’m in need to great gear. Thank you all for even giving us the opportunity! 🤞🏽
you guys are honestly such an inspiration to the film making community. no words for what the whole journey has pulled out of yourself and what youve pulled out of your followers. lifting eachother up like this is what its all about 🙏 thank you
I just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the amazing content you're providing to the film community. Your videos are not only informative and educational but also incredibly uplifting and inspiring. As someone who is passionate about filmmaking, it's truly refreshing to see a channel that focuses not only on the technical aspects of the craft but also on the emotional and personal growth that comes with pursuing a creative endeavor. Your dedication to spreading positivity and encouragement is infectious, and I always feel motivated to tackle new projects after watching your videos. Thank you for all that you do to support and inspire the film community. Keep up the fantastic work!
Nice! I entered the 1st giveaway but eventually learned more about AoD. Even without thinking about the gear giveaway, the knowledge itself when you join the live streams, watch the videos, get the modules is so invaluable and cost 50x more than any gear giveaway. What I appreciate about AoD is how it changed my perspective when I meet other people and hear their stories. I meet people from all walks of life begging their story to be told. I used to be passive about it and would just listen but after AoD helped open my eyes, I am empowered to create the story. It won't be nominated for awards or Oscars, but the visceral impact it has to that person and the people around them solidifies the story and legacy. Thanks AoD for opening my eyes and for teaching the knowledge on how to create these documentaries. More power to you and the team!
So glad I found you and this channel Mark. In murky waters of a late bloomer filmmaker, you make it possible to see some clarity and hope on the horizon. I'm very excited about AOD. A spark has been lit! Thank you again!
Just enrolled in Module One so excited to start learning from you and Michael, my film journey starts today and I'm setting off as a complete beginner. Picking up this kit would be sensational! Thank you so much for inspiring me, and I'm delighted to now be part of your filmmaking community.
Man you`re the legend! It's incredible how much you give, for FREE! So much knowledge, so many little inputs. It would be an understatement that you've influenced me as a filmmaker just a little bit, you did a whole ton! Whenever I'm going for a project, the first one I'm going to for tips is your channel. I'm so stoked on the AOD Courses as well and once I get some more jobs going (which is in the making) I definitely want to join it and be a part of this awesome community of storytellers you've created. Thanks again Mark for everything and big greetings from germany!:) I think you inspire people all over the world. PS: Wouldn't say no to trading my old trusty but very rusty A7III for that tiny but very shiny FX3! :P
Your channel has helped me sooooo much! I've been making the switch from black magic cameras to Sony and have been really loving it. The auto focused has helped on so many shoots when I can't get an AC. I'm renting the fx3 for a project this week and this video is so helpful. Congrats on AOD!
Wow, this was such a great video! I really loved the camera rig you used, it captured the shots so beautifully. You are truly an inspiration, thank you for sharing your expertise with us!
FX6 and the 24mm GM have never let me down on the job, but I'm really enjoying the 14mm GM and cropping to widescreen 2:1 aspect ratio lately, especially if I know I'll be doing any documentary style filming in an indoor location like a home or bedroom and plan on finishing the project in widescreen!
Thank you for your immense contributions to the film community. Your dedication and hard work have undoubtedly left a lasting impact on the industry, and it is truly appreciated.
AOD has been a game changer and helped me feel confident to chase down some big dreams! Recently returned from filming a short Documentary in Ukraine 🇺🇦! Mike and Mark are gifted communicators and passionate about getting you a top shelf course!
How do things like this happen when you need it the most ?! I just want to say this is invaluable what you guys are doing. I mean, literally, making dreams possible. The fact you're giving access to knowledge and gear. My mind is blown, and thank you for pushing the community aspect because you can even share this equipment to help film your buddies' projects!
What I would miss from that set-up is the best accessory ever for the FX3: the handle extension (MD3490 Smallrig part number) Not only doest it add length for a better grip, but also adds a NATO rail on top, which is in mi opinion better than that magic arm that Mark uses, as you can use a Monitor Mount like the 2906 that can be adjusted with friction.. so you can adjust the angle on the monitor on the fly, with one hand, very quickly.. no need to unscrew anything... Also, you can adjust the position of the monitor itself on the rail, to have it more to the front..
You guys are freaking amazing for all the knowledge you share and all the things you give away. Thank you for everything and can't wait to see you when doors open in AOD!
I was looking for a good setup for documentary-style shooting and came across this. I'm a military photographer, but recently got into video so now I'm looking into gear that will help me better capture the action and military training in the field. I've been running and gunning with my DSLR since I started shooting video so I think it's about time to get a grip/cage to make the footage a little smoother. This setup is nice because it's not too excessive or over encumbering especially when you're running around capturing the moment.
Excited to have discovered your channel! Use to love using the GH4 with a vintage Pentax Super Takumar 50mm. The sensor turned it into a really nice portrait lens with great character.
Just entered the giveaway. You guys are incredible and I’m so glad to have gotten to watch part of your journey! Congratulations and good luck on your next adventure!!
Your channel is one of the most inspiring filmmaker channels on RUclips. Love your relaxed and engaging way of sharing extremely helpful tips. Your advice has made me tell much better stories, I know this video focuses on a amazing set up but your channel has help me do better on any set up and most importantly focusing on a telling better stories, most by having a more structure game plan before going into a shoot. You deserve all the success you've gotten and more. Looking forward to learning more from you this year!
You guys are a massive inspiration to myself and the rest of the community. Thank you all for everything and I can't wait to join the program. I am currently working on my first doc and have 3 more in the planning stages. I don't think you guys know how much you've actually helped us out.
Just dropping a message that you channel has been a lot of help so far. Thanks for doing what you're doing and giving new film makers a chance to kickstart their business with awesome gear!
As a filmmaker who loves documentary filmmaking, a setup like this would be game changing for me. I tell the behind the scenes stories of life on the road for different bands, love capturing unique stories of exceptional individuals, and have even made a documentary about a dog that was rescued from a dog fighting ring in Dubai. Definitely entering this contest!
New to your channel Mark but that looks like the best run n gun/docu set up money could buy right now! I make videos on an a6300 and SEL18-200 so this would be a crazy difference. Big respect from Scotland cant wait to see what is to come next in the series!
It is true in many fields that less is more. It is the old idea that limitations breed creativity. Going gear crazy gets in the way of doing, in so many areas of life.
Found you through Peter, but this channel has been invaluable to me. I've been making films for years, but there's just so much quality information in each video you put out. And now a giveaway? Incredible.
I am really interested in learning more about the bracket you are using for the monitor mount. Couldn't find it on SmallRig, but it looks very cool. Thank you in advance.
Amazing of you to give away your set up . But what I enjoy the most is the education and advice your channel provides to calm my uncertainties while inspiring me to refine my skills as a filmmaker. Thanks again Mark
Nice setup. Just finished building a similar rig with my Lumix S5. SmallRig Black Mamba Cage with Top Handle, Rode VideoMic Pro, NATO Side Handle, Helios 44M-4 and a Ninja 5.2" recording monitor. Crazy to see that the following for the Helios has only gotten stronger in the last 10 years.
I really enjoy my one and only camera it is a GH4 with a nifty fifty. I am trying to get into documentary film and this would sure help out. Thank you for the great content.
Is it weird that I started salivating as I saw this kit??🤤🤤 It's such a perfect and gorgeous kit, especially for someone who doesn't even have a camera. You guys are doing some great things with this platform, and I can't wait to see more.
NO WAY you're giving away that dream setup!! I've recently dipped my toes into filmmaking and recording the car scene here in Michigan and still practicing with slog color grading on my camera. After a year of car photography and getting into filming it's literally a whole new world I can discover. keep up the great work though and drop more banger videos!!
Such a beast setup! I want to get more serious with my filmmaking and this whole channel seems like the answer to that! Bless you guys and this channel
I've had my eye on the Sony FX3 for a while, the kit that you've put together looks so nimble. I also agree that on camera LCD monitors are rubbish, especially outdoors. Nothing like seeing your reflection staring back at you whilst your trying to get frame and focus 🤣
Wow this is awesome such a great give away! We learned so much from your RUclips video's as amateur film makers. Especially to just go out there and try it. That you don't 100 lenses to make a nice film. Thanks for the inspiration! We entered the competition, good luck to everyone who joins to inspire us with awesome film 😍
I’ve been wanting to get a Helios 442 for a while. I usually use my 24-70 f2.8 on my a7iv because I’m mainly a photographer who also does video. Lately I’ve picked up more work doing Reels for people, and I’ve been using my 35mm and 24mm for those
New aspiring film maker. Wanting to upgrade from my zv1. Thank you for putting this together! Good luck and am looking forward to gain even more knowledge from your channel🤘
You guys rock! To have the privilege to support others like you do is the total dream! Keep up the work and thanks for all the great tips! Hope to be shooting soon! Cheers
Documentary itself represents a natural, organic way of cinema, despite all this types of camera gear and equipment, we can shoot documentary and that’s it, because we feel it, we love it. Of course a good setup will help you achieve the image and the mood you want, I would say a good solid setup for my work would be a fx6 A cam and a fx3 B cam with 2 zoom lenses, a 10-18 and a 24-70 and minimum a prime, for example a helios 44 is such underrated but an amazing vintage lens! I recommend for anyone to learn and watch Werner Herzog’s movies, especially the documentaries because he learned something that is beyond cinema itself, is about pure emotion, a way of experiencing a story and how to style everything up. I am from Romania and I also want to recommend this Documentary for everyone out here, “Black Buffalo Water” 1977. This represents the beginning of documentary in Romania for me! Good luck everyone and hope to see more documentaries soon, from everyone!
@@markbone such an amazing piece of art. I’m still a bit upset that he is not notorious enough yet! Another great scene is in grizzly man, when he listen to the tape, and all the building before and after that scene. That’s cinema! Best of luck and hope to see better and better video, as you got us used until now!
Wooooh, Amazing, I had to sell my FX3 for economic reasons and replaced it with the A7IV which over heats on me all the time... Could surely use the FX3 again!!!
Thank you Mark for all you do on this channel, and with AOD! This setup is beautiful in it's simplicity and function, so cool you are doing a giveaway.
big up all the work you do, watched heaps of your videos which has helped me run a decently sized youtube channel now (not my personal) and wanting to make more documentary based projects
Damn I regret selling my Helios few years back, when I was doing only photos... But it is something with all those "vintage lenses" that is so climatic and make image looks different. Now I'm using Soligor 28mm with my Fuji XT4, and it is also cool looking.
Love your channel. Love your approach to mastering skills for budding filmmakers. And most of all, love your films for their content and style. Thank you.
I'm a total newbie in regards to photography and film making but I am trying to get a reality show going "Carnivore Jail" (see my humble videos, briefly explaining the concept, if you so desire). It would mostly take place indoors; some type of building where we can build the jail sets and the kitchen area where the carnivore meals are prepared. Also, there would be indoor and outdoor exercise areas so, some video recording outside as well. Would this be a good setup for the scenario I described? Most likely, we would have two sets of whatever camera system decided upon. Right now, I just have my two Galaxy S23 Ultras and a GoPro Hero 11 Black (still in the box) a few lights and microphones and other misc equipment. I like the idea of keeping things simple, like the setup in this video. thank you
I'm wondering if this is my ideal set up for filming in fishing boats in the Atlantic. I've been filming with GoPros until now, need to step up. Might need to get a rain cover for it though!

Sony a7iii and the Sigma 35mm🤓💪
I've been using my EOS M6 mark II with a Sigma 16-35. I use it for TV documentary work. That's it. Maybe an additional nifty fifty. I know this gear like the back of my hand.
Tbh I really don’t know, I have too many fave cameras but if I were to choose it would probably be my Canon 5D mkIV, it’s got everything I need (apart from in body image stabilization and a bunch of other stuff)
I’ve been digging my BMPCC4k mixed with an Opticam 135mm f2.8! Such an amazing perspective
Loving my c70 with some vintage nikkor lenses or just a classic 24-70. Internal ND is just too important :). But I'm really honestly, currently my favourite is my original A7s with these cheap Pergear manual focus 35mm f1.4 lenses for photos of the kids lol.

Maybe cus you got political ;) great shots. Great give away!
Can people in the UK apply?
No it wasn't like this. 👍🏽
Just a heads up, there was a bot account with your profile picture asking me for my telegram. I reported it as spam.
@@thatbencrane lmao same
This has been one of my favorite filmmaking channels for a while. You're doing a great thing with this contest. Good luck to all!
I am so glad I found this channel. I'm making my first documentary this year and this channel has been so helpful. Thank you so much
so glad we can help! hope to see you in AOD!
No dodads, wingdings … just the gear you need to to be a successful film maker. So good to see so many new people on this channel! You deserve it Mark. AOD is the best ❤
Finally popped into AOD a few months ago and have already been a part of a number of shoots with local AOD filmmakers. What a dope community for those of us just starting out!
There's something going right with your talking head lighting I haven't seen anything this moody and balanced, looks great!
Looks like a hell of a setup, and the samples of footage used to create this giveaway video were perfect demonstrations. Entered and crossing my fingers!!
🤞🤞
thanks for the giveaway ! Hope to win this one 😄 I joined the very first batch of AOD btw and I hope whoever wins creates great films 👌
Thanks for making storytelling more real, it's hard to find a genuiness in a industry that will ask you to give everything to it and give little back in return. You are a help to the people who love this the most. Thanks for inspiring me to tell more stories, and create constantly.
I'm so excited to watch more of your videos to increase my documentary skills.
I live in Eastern Kentucky where there are so many stories to tell, but not enough filmmakers such as myself in this area to bring these stories to life.

So glad I found you and this channel Mark. In murky waters of a late bloomer filmmaker, you make it possible to see some clarity and hope on the horizon. I'm very excited about AOD. A spark has been lit! Thank you again!
Welcome aboard!
Just enrolled in Module One so excited to start learning from you and Michael, my film journey starts today and I'm setting off as a complete beginner. Picking up this kit would be sensational! Thank you so much for inspiring me, and I'm delighted to now be part of your filmmaking community.
ive literally wanted the fx3 or fx30 for so long but its not in the budget right now. This is awesome, good luck to everyone! love ya mark
Man you`re the legend! It's incredible how much you give, for FREE! So much knowledge, so many little inputs.

Thanks again Mark for everything and big greetings from germany!:) I think you inspire people all over the world.
PS: Wouldn't say no to trading my old trusty but very rusty A7III for that tiny but very shiny FX3! :P
I've been following you from the start and I knew this was more than a filmmaking channel. Thanks man!
this setup will be a blessing to anyone getting into filming ..... good luck everyone !
Good luck to you as well
The LCD monitor on the FX-30 is really good. I get it's small but it's much better than the fx3/a7siii.
So happy to see someone making a wonderful community for filmmakers
💕💕💕

video is not synced with the audio?
RUclips started doing this today on this video halfway through the day. Very frustrating.
Thank you for giving so much to the film community !
Currently rocking a Panasonic S5 with a 28-70 - works great for all my documentary needs.
AOD has been a game changer and helped me feel confident to chase down some big dreams! Recently returned from filming a short Documentary in Ukraine 🇺🇦! Mike and Mark are gifted communicators and passionate about getting you a top shelf course!
Do u know if its going to cost anything to sign up for the waitlist?

Honestly, this channel has been such a breath of fresh air, I've been on the fence about joining AOD. I guess this is the "push" I needed ;)
You’re gonna LOVE AOD
What I would miss from that set-up is the best accessory ever for the FX3: the handle extension (MD3490 Smallrig part number)
Not only doest it add length for a better grip, but also adds a NATO rail on top, which is in mi opinion better than that magic arm that Mark uses, as you can use a Monitor Mount like the 2906 that can be adjusted with friction.. so you can adjust the angle on the monitor on the fly, with one hand, very quickly.. no need to unscrew anything...

You guys are freaking amazing for all the knowledge you share and all the things you give away. Thank you for everything and can't wait to see you when doors open in AOD!
I've been using the GH5 with the 12mm-60mm as a beginner combo for the past two years. Amazing camera! Still have lots to learn.
I was looking for a good setup for documentary-style shooting and came across this. I'm a military photographer, but recently got into video so now I'm looking into gear that will help me better capture the action and military training in the field.

This setup is nice because it's not too excessive or over encumbering especially when you're running around capturing the moment.
I've begun to love documentary filmmaking over the past 2 years. So many stories can be told.
Such a solid kit! Curious to why you have like 10x step up rings haha
I use one step up from whatever diameter my lens is to 82mm
I have many different lenses and filter sizes so it helps remain flexible
Excited to have discovered your channel! Use to love using the GH4 with a vintage Pentax Super Takumar 50mm. The sensor turned it into a really nice portrait lens with great character.

Nice setup. Just finished building a similar rig with my Lumix S5. SmallRig Black Mamba Cage with Top Handle, Rode VideoMic Pro, NATO Side Handle, Helios 44M-4 and a Ninja 5.2" recording monitor. Crazy to see that the following for the Helios has only gotten stronger in the last 10 years.
Awesome work y’all have been doing! Since I started my journey I have been watching your videos! You are very helpful and inspiring, thank you 🙏
I really enjoy my one and only camera it is a GH4 with a nifty fifty. I am trying to get into documentary film and this would sure help out. Thank you for the great content.
Thank you for all your inspiration and continuing sharing your great vids. Greetings from Costa Rica. 👍🏻📸☕☀️🌋🏝🌴🌊
Such a good kit for a giveaway! I've worked with FX3 and FX6 and I think the built-in IBIS is more valuable than the built-in VND overall now.
@ 5:45 it looks like warp stabilizer (clouds wiggle). Is that in post of from the camera stabilization?
or from... not of
Would still go with the c70 over the FX3 for those internal NDs, internal raw, and better dynamic range without noise reduction.
Popped up on my feed and so glad it did! Seems like a great community to be involved with. Entered to win fingers crossed 🤞
I'm just starting out in my video creation journey. You guys are having an amazing giveaway. Good luck to everyone who entered.

I've watched so many of your videos man, I appreciate your work. Keep it up, thank you for being a real voice in a world of clickbait gear reviews.
Thanks Colton!
Loving what you and Michael are doing with AOD. You guys are continually giving openly and freely.
That seems hell of a good set! Small but effective!
I've had my eye on the Sony FX3 for a while, the kit that you've put together looks so nimble. I also agree that on camera LCD monitors are rubbish, especially outdoors. Nothing like seeing your reflection staring back at you whilst your trying to get frame and focus 🤣
Looks amazing! Thanks for all your help throughout the years!
Wow this is awesome such a great give away! We learned so much from your RUclips video's as amateur film makers. Especially to just go out there and try it. That you don't 100 lenses to make a nice film. Thanks for the inspiration! We entered the competition, good luck to everyone who joins to inspire us with awesome film 😍
🥰
I’ve been wanting to get a Helios 442 for a while. I usually use my 24-70 f2.8 on my a7iv because I’m mainly a photographer who also does video. Lately I’ve picked up more work doing Reels for people, and I’ve been using my 35mm and 24mm for those
New aspiring film maker. Wanting to upgrade from my zv1. Thank you for putting this together! Good luck and am looking forward to gain even more knowledge from your channel🤘
Great Video, it's awesome that you guys are reachin out and helping the community as well. Cheers and goodluck to everyone.
ON 5:50 i saw little wiggle effect on that runing footage is that any post production stablization effect or thats camera doing this?
Entered!
Glad I got my Helios before you made this video. You probably just doubled the price via increase in demand 😅
Such a sick lens though.
Beauty setup! Would be an absolute game changer for me. Is it open worldwide?
You guys rock!
To have the privilege to support others like you do is the total dream! Keep up the work and thanks for all the great tips! Hope to be shooting soon! Cheers
Very dope, I just found this page today. I'll be tuning in for more.
This is amazing!!! I’ve just joined the waitlist. You guys rock.
cool cool💥 it's a great thing ya'll doing. been gathering budget gears myself to bring folktales alive again from a corner of Tribal world .
Documentary itself represents a natural, organic way of cinema, despite all this types of camera gear and equipment, we can shoot documentary and that’s it, because we feel it, we love it. Of course a good setup will help you achieve the image and the mood you want, I would say a good solid setup for my work would be a fx6 A cam and a fx3 B cam with 2 zoom lenses, a 10-18 and a 24-70 and minimum a prime, for example a helios 44 is such underrated but an amazing vintage lens!
I recommend for anyone to learn and watch Werner Herzog’s movies, especially the documentaries because he learned something that is beyond cinema itself, is about pure emotion, a way of experiencing a story and how to style everything up. I am from Romania and I also want to recommend this Documentary for everyone out here, “Black Buffalo Water” 1977. This represents the beginning of documentary in Romania for me!
Good luck everyone and hope to see more documentaries soon, from everyone!
I love Into the Abyss by Herzog
@@markbone such an amazing piece of art. I’m still a bit upset that he is not notorious enough yet! Another great scene is in grizzly man, when he listen to the tape, and all the building before and after that scene. That’s cinema!
Best of luck and hope to see better and better video, as you got us used until now!
im looking into getting started with filmmaking and this channel has taught me a serious lot of useful infos, cheers!
Wooooh, Amazing, I had to sell my FX3 for economic reasons and replaced it with the A7IV which over heats on me all the time... Could surely use the FX3 again!!!
Thank you Mark for all you do on this channel, and with AOD! This setup is beautiful in it's simplicity and function, so cool you are doing a giveaway.
I've learned so much through you guys! I can't wait to see what I can learn in the course as well! Thank you for all you do and for the AOD videos!!
big up all the work you do, watched heaps of your videos which has helped me run a decently sized youtube channel now (not my personal) and wanting to make more documentary based projects
wow...what a nice give away! I already purchased Module 1 of AOD and I can't wait for Module 2.
my fav cam combo would be the fx3 + 16-35. heavy, but oh so pretty
Damn I regret selling my Helios few years back, when I was doing only photos... But it is something with all those "vintage lenses" that is so climatic and make image looks different. Now I'm using Soligor 28mm with my Fuji XT4, and it is also cool looking.
Love your channel. Love your approach to mastering skills for budding filmmakers. And most of all, love your films for their content and style. Thank you.
I'm a total newbie in regards to photography and film making but I am trying to get a reality show going "Carnivore Jail" (see my humble videos, briefly explaining the concept, if you so desire). It would mostly take place indoors; some type of building where we can build the jail sets and the kitchen area where the carnivore meals are prepared. Also, there would be indoor and outdoor exercise areas so, some video recording outside as well. Would this be a good setup for the scenario I described? Most likely, we would have two sets of whatever camera system decided upon. Right now, I just have my two Galaxy S23 Ultras and a GoPro Hero 11 Black (still in the box) a few lights and microphones and other misc equipment. I like the idea of keeping things simple, like the setup in this video. thank you
Thanks for all you do AOD. And this giveaway is pretty insane!
I'm wondering if this is my ideal set up for filming in fishing boats in the Atlantic. I've been filming with GoPros until now, need to step up. Might need to get a rain cover for it though!
When you looking for the perfect setup and realize it’s also a giveaway 😍
