The ONLY TECH You Need to Film Your Travels!

[@joelconolly5574]

DJI Osmo Pocket 3 has been the best camcorder that's been released for the decade. Basically a bigger sensor on a small device. Definitely will get this in the future. Don't think we'll see a Pocket 4 anytime soon so this is definitely a plus.

[@keuuy]

Thanks for the shoutout @JasonVong! Loved your take on the video concept, and especially the bit on laptopless file transfer 💪

[@JasonVong]

The man himself!!! Enjoying your travel content! Keep it up!

[@mitchellsmith4601]

There are adapters you can buy which block the data pins on USB-A data cables, turning them into charge-only cables. Think of them as a USB condom: put one on your cable, and you can connect anywhere without fear of your firmware getting infected.

[@bimmerfan2126]

just back from an Iceland photo trip, the Anker Prime 100W GaN (Gallium Nitride) Wall Charger is a great wall charger, half the size of an Apple 14" MBP charger, can charge a laptop, tablet, and phone form a single charger,

[@ThruLucillesLens]

I wish I'd known this for my japan trip back in March. I had to take my laptop to offload every other day. But I'm definitely saving this for future use! This is so helpful

[@DDHDTV]

so glad I don’t do video. I get through by using multiple sd cards only

[@impulsesystems]

Great travel advice! Can feel the love! I’d mention/recommend the ACASIS hub that can take an SSD and has an SD card reader built in.

[@RFS_Mulm]

Perfect timing! I had thoughts on this topic a few days ago :D

[@TruuGemini]

really great tips. I never thought about the phone and portable HD with me. wireless transfers be taking forever for real. thank you again.

[@JayFingers]

Haha, this video is right on time. Thank you! I’m planning on traveling soon and was dreading having to carry my laptop (and a huge bag for it and its accessories). But some of these options will def work for me. However, instead of the DJI Osmo, I have a Canon Powershot V10, which I love! 😄 Thanks again for sharing!

[@watkinsphoto]

Great video. I've been using a similar setup: iPhone, Osmo Pocket 3 and Sony a7c ii. Wish my production quality were as good as yours!

[@ekphotography]

Wish these back up options would work with iPhone 14. I do not personally need or even like or want to spend any money for the 15 which USBc would be the ONLY reason. I use to use a NEXTO portable back up hard drive back in the day, although it was "expensive" it was awesome. I cannot believe in 2024 no one has invented or made a newer cheaper better version. After all it was just an HD with a CF and SD card slot that would back up files. Nowadays with SSD it seems it could be faster, lighter and easier to make.

[@whereisjohnnow]

here is a simpler and lighter way to backup your SD or Micro SD card with iPhone 15. This doesn't require attaching a battery and SSD drive to a hub. Just use the SD and Micro SD slots in the hub or SD card reader. Copy (not MOVE as you said) files from one to the other.

I would be interested if Jason can show how to get a pic file from a camera via wi-fi built in to your smartphone in order to send the pic to friend and family via text while on vacation…also how to resize file on phone before sending if needed to.

[@-easyisthekey]

In my opinion, the easiest travel set up is to use your phone (iPhone 16 now has ultra wide angle at 48 megapixels), use the insta360 Flow Pro gimbal with a built in tripod. Couple of Samsung external hard drives for storage. That’s it! I now use post AI Sound Enhancement programs (they are so good), so I don’t even have to bring my wireless mics. At far as battery goes, my phone is dedicated to taking pics and videos, while my wife uses her phone for the other travel GPS stuff. Additional equipment = more accessories = more work.

[@asiadmajeed]

Hi man, have being following you guys for a while, thanks for the tips n ideas. It is always plasure to see your upbeat videos. You guys put a lots of love into it. PS: I still have you A7IV guides and setups saved and use them often as my go-to

[@vvassall28]

This is a great video - exactly what I needed.

[@arquivo225]

Hey Jason, another great video, thank you! The Belkin hub is what i need. And my travel kit is just like yours. Currently usind DJI Pocket 2, my phone and one Sony ZVE1, what a joy. Lenses I'm using sony 28 f2, 40 2.5 and sigma 90 2.8 dg dn. Audio i still have the rode wireless go from the first generation.

[@deneguil-1618]

After months considering the Fuji system I've chosen to go Sony for the myriad of cheap options with better video quality. I'll probably get an A6000 with a small Sigma 30mm F/2.8 for casual every day use and complete it with a TTArtisan 56mm F/1.8 for more zoomed in shots later on. If I can splurge a bit I'll get the A6300

[@Tang-dr5vs]

Welcome to the family! A6x00 series are also lighter so I think you'll like it for travel. If you're like me, afraid of taking photos in public because of the shutter sound, I would recommend you look into A6100 instead of A6000. A6100 allows me to take photos more freely, in locations like train/ restaurants in Japan because of the option to have silent shutter. But I don't quite like the fact that I can't tap focus when I'm using phone app to control the camera, definitely check out the models to see which function matters to you more

[@peterevans8598]

Great video JV....love your stuff!

[@NinjaMonkeyguy]

The combo method works best for me, Main camera A7s3 with zoom lens and a second camera like a DJI or ZV1 2 for talking shots .. :)

[@JasonVong]

Which do you like better? DJI OP3 or ZV1 II for talking shots?

[@NinjaMonkeyguy]

@@JasonVong I don’t have the DJI (yet)

[@hidavewhereschloe1190]

Great useful tips as always!

[@tonykeltsflorida]

I can backup to the phone and playbook on the go then copy to my ssd later for short trips. I am probably going to use my crucial ssd when we go to Caribbean because I will only be making a few posts at port stops. Portable usb-c to usb with a usb card reader is really handy. I Shoot photos with my Canon M6 mk II. I trust my phone for video. I will just dump video straight to the ssd drive and edit the next week on my computer.

[@LouisLuzuka]

[@Stevenk770]

[@JasonVong]

[@marleneanderson9121]

Great video. Thanks for sharing

[@lg.studio]

I have been backing up my data on trips since early 2018 like this, but a bit simpler. OTG adapter with 2 USBs (or a simple hub) to Android phone. SD card reader to one, SSD to other. phone gives just enough current for both. Copy in file-explorer app from SD to SSD. much less cables.

[@JasonVong]

I found if I didn’t connect it to the wall, there is a strong chance of it losing power and disconnecting. The wall plug just gives me a peace of mind as I have 0 dc so far *knocks on wood*

[@bimmerfan2126]

yep, android phone is not crippled like the iphone as far as file management :P

[@yeeisme]

I like prefer the Ulanzi Osmo Pocket 3 cage as it uses the DJI quick release systems, has retractable GoPro fingers and gives you a quarter inch mount on the back.

[@rocketrollsvlogs7625]

[@FAMBAM_AUS]

We have a similar set up now. We had a Sony Zve10 and a gopro. Now we have a Sony A7 IV and the insta360 X4.... The dji wireless mics are a good addition too.

[@JasonVong]

Wireless mics are game changing and the fact that can internally record. We can’t live without em! Glad the new kit is serving you well!

[@FAMBAM_AUS]

​@@JasonVongthanks your videos helped me select the A7 IV, so THANK YOU ❤

[@Ironmerchant]

My kit is pocket 3, action 4 and zv-e1 with 16-35. I hear that DJI might be releasing a mirrorless camera if they do I’ll switch my zve1 for that.

[@SingaporeUntold]

Another way is to use the Wi-Fi file transfer which is fast on the pocket 3. Then you can use a usb stick direct to the iphone without any external power supply. I have a 1tb usb stick. SSD is still the fastest but this is the most simplest way to back up

[@Klp85]

Using a hyperdrive usb c hub from my iPad for my phone. Gets rid of some of those dongles

[@bankomeister11]

I love these more minimalist travel setups, I would love to see a similar video about video workflow without a laptop. I prefer traveling with just an iPad or iPhone and leave my laptop at home

[@JasonVong]

Yeah I want to experiment more on the iPhone and iPad workflow as well! Editing photos with Adobe LR has always been good but I haven’t quite found the best video editing app yet. CapCut is somewhat the closest in terms of the best workflow experience esp since you can edit on both computer and phone! + the auto caption is unmatched for a FREE app

For the super sweat setup, what do you carry/use for stabilization for the 4k video? The DJI Ronin? Even if it's tiny, I find it still a bit bulky and heavy when trying to hand carry.

The RS3 mini but yes sadly it’s still bulky. I wouldn’t use it on a casual outing unless I know I’m making specialized videos that call for it.

Hey ! How do you manage with Dji mic 2 when you are recording for let's say full day. Do you turn it off and on each time you are done with one location?

[@JasonVong]

It really depends. But yes in most scenarios we would have it off once we move on from a location. Whenever we take breaks and food breaks, the mics go back in the box for charging. Same goes for the other gear as well. I charge em and chance I get. For spontaneous moments, we would just use the on board mic or the iPhone and do some post processing. We found Adobe Podcast AI to do an incredible job for voice isolation!

Yesterday I was out without my camera (A7R III). Felt a bit like being without any clothes, but sometimes you just don't want to carry a bag along. :D I had my phone with me which is an iPhone 14+. Coming home, looking at the images, I was quite disappointed. Having recently tested Sony's Xperia 1 VI, this walk was my final step to give it a chance. iPhones are great as reliable gadgets, but they really suck at photo/video. It looks so unpleasing to see all this exaggerated HDR/saturation/contrast/fake-sh*t. What I really missed were S-Cinetone for mobile (which gives a remarkably natural and ready out of the box result with great colours) and the opportunity to have an 85-170mm lens with me. Even though the quality isn't really stellar, it's very practical. I don't expect a smartphone to be a wonder of a camera, it just shouldn't make things worse than they are by its processing. Shooting video on the 85mm lens is quite cool, too, because you really get some of that large aperture separation - without AI! But the biggest difference: You can expose an image, capture it as JPG+RAW and both will look relatively equal. On the iPhone with 3rd party apps, you can capture DNGs, but figuring out what might be the correct exposure is like guessing or taking photos with your eyes shut. The RAWs always come out extremely underexposed. You just cannot work with it, even if you know how to set a correct exposure. The aids will always show you something different than your RAW exposure. With the Sony, this problem doesn't exist at all, even though the RAWs are not always comparably sharp. Not an Android fan, to be honest, but I'll give them a chance. They did a really good job on this device.
