The Film Gear I use to Produce Destination Adventure

[@lifewithconnie3738]

Dustin. I brag about your channel to EVERYONE!!! You’re the best!!!

[@Eric_from_the_North]

DJI Mavic Pro is a beast, I found one while hicking in Alberta, it was flying over my head and crashed like 20 feet away, I grabbed it, knowing that they know their last location on GPS and waited for the guy to come pick it up, he was soo happy to get it back he offered me 100$ and I refused, I gave him back because If it would have been me, I would appreciate someone doing the same. Just like you, Ive crashed mine soo many times and still kicking after all the beating and abuse. Great product!!!

[@randybooth9192]

We need workshop Wednesdays and maybe a monday moho cooking show.. sure miss the cooking 🤘

[@Ty-tie_FTW]

I've left comments before about your videos, and basically, I'm just giving you feedback here, but when it comes to quality and production, my opinion is that it can not get much better than your videos. On top of content, locations, audio, and the upbeat optimism that comes along with your videos is why I keep watching. Every video is a high quality introduction to what was, way back when. Me and my girlfriend wait to watch your videos together like a tv show lol. Just a great way to escape for a minute.

[@JohnHill-qo3hb]

Me too... except no girlfriend, pretty sure my wife would be a tad upset...

[@briankent103]

@@JohnHill-qo3hb Me three! This is the best show on You Tube by far. I've been following for many years now and always get excited when a new episode drops.

[@Escapademade]

Idk who’s asking for 4K from Dustin but y’all need to chill. His videos are perfectly beautiful without them ❤

[@kenuber4014]

Boy, this gives me alot more respect for your videos. I never thought it took that many tools and cameras to do the work you do! Thanks for doing what you do!!

[@thereissomecoolstuff]

Thank you Steven Spielberg....You get the shots for sure. Has to be fun when you get to the editing. With outdoor photography you never know if you nailed it until the edit. You nail it at a high level.

[@jeffmentzer9186]

DJI are great drones! As always Dustin thank you very much for bringing us along on your adventures buddy!!!!

[@norlor]

Dustin, I found you during the pandemic and your videos have helped me through some pretty severe mental health issues. I don’t know if this would ever fit into your Wednesday vlogs , but I would be interested in hearing how you deal with isolation. The places you visit must only go so far in assisting your mental health

[@bjclassic1950]

Thanks so much for the equipment info!👍

[@seriescell]

Was just thing Mick doing a camera tech gear review would be funny.

[@SnoMoJoe1]

It is nice to see the tools of your craft.

[@leroywood5383]

I enjoy your channel Dustin you really show beautiful scenery keep up the great work my friend.

[@joangravel2436]

Awesome stuff thanks

[@Nicothehut]

I love hearing the 12v in the cab talks. Keep it.

[@nevysadventuresllc9074]

Dude I love your cinematography your one of the better quality videographers on KZbin that doesn’t have a professional set up and you even do better than many professional photographers with thousands of dollars of gear.

[@glengillis7775]

Its not cheap to put out high quality videos. You do a great job. Thanks for all your work

[@bob_frazier]

Great point Glen! Imagine how much easier it would be, for example, to go see a glacier as opposed to film myself going to see it?

[@blueman5924]

Great rig rundown. You’re so well prepared to get the “shot”. We thank you. 🌲🤙

[@wadelintick9538]

197K and counting, am cheering you on.

[@rileyuktv6426]

Awesomeness in Film❤

[@katheriner9970]

Wow, okay, now I want a "go pro", it keeps your horizon stable?? I have such shaky hands, that sounds great. You used a lot of words related to lenses and stuff that mean about as much to me as the truck build lingo but I do love seeing behind the scenes. You pick and capture some of the most spectacular views, I have no doubt it won't be long before you have more sponsors giving you new gear to try out.

[@anthonya8537]

The slits on the Rhode mic cold shoe clamp accept the mic cable. Press the mic cable into the slit and it will stabilize the mic. Love your channel. Keep up the great work.

[@dennymeyer7410]

This is most excellent. Lots of KZbinrs don’t share their camera work and editing software. I’m enjoying catching up on previous adventures.

[@michaelcaselli2716]

You have some great equipment, but what makes your success as a videographer, in my opinion, is your talented eye! You’re a master!

[@kaineleeabel]

The drone was a great addition to the channel

[@CanadianSledDog]

Total dream kit for me. What an investment you've made in this lifestyle, it's awesome.

[@milesandhikes]

I LOOOVE the slider! I noticed it in your shots months ago and boy, does it make a difference!

[@heyjudesadventures]

I am in awe of the work you put into making a video. Thank you for your awesome videos!! 😊

[@Destination_Adventure]

You’re very welcome, thank you for enjoying.

[@ericvonwiegen5672]

Nice 👍

[@lioneljohnston9894]

Dustin what a great review of the filming equipment, well done 😁👍

[@POVLA]

Love it! Solid gear cache. I highly recommend a zoom audio recorder like the h4n. It’s great for recording long interviews and ambient sounds and as a backup.

[@BackcountryNomad]

4K blows up all my shit........ I tried to convert over. Couldn't do it. Im going to wait out the technology till its get cheaper to buy reliable hardware that is bullet proof. It was nice to see a behind the scenes look at your equipment. Enjoying that your back out on the road again. We'll see ya out there !!!!!

[@aquilinefpv2592]

Thank you for sharing.

[@thelazyoverlander]

So so glad you still like your GH4.... STILL a fantastic camera and punches way above it's class. I have one despite a recent switch to Nikon full frame, the GH4 will always be in my bag.

[@djmatt1]

Great video as usual, just a quick tip, for the video micro mics being too heavy on your cameras and flopping down, the cold shoe thumb screw has a bunch of notches in it and is designed to hold the red wire, so just stretch the wire taught to where the mic sits level (with the deadcat) and stick it in a notch, problem solved!

[@ResaleRenegade]

2:14 - flip the mic cable wire around so that the long side plugs into the mic, and the short side plugs into the camera. Then, take the straight portion of the cable and push it into a groove on the knob that secures it into the hotshoe. Then, you can use that tension to hold your mic horizontal instead of it falling forward. ;)

[@Destination_Adventure]

I’ve seen a few of these comments and gave it a try. Turns out it has been a me problem all along. Hahahaha. Works perfectly when you use it correctly.

[@admiralking]

Love it! Thank you for the look behind the curtain.

[@montyforster3370]

Thanks for this coverage Dustin. Your easy description will make this an absolute 'go back to' for me. Thank you agsin for your absolute integrity all round. Cheers

[@MikeBabsBC]

Those Rode VideoMicro's punch way above their price range. I was sssoooo close to getting an S5, but then found a deal on an a7Siii, which was a MAJOR upgrade to my GH5. Great video, answered many questions that I had. Oh, and the slider was a great addition, been looking into one myself for a while now.

[@highdesertnation1285]

Great cinematography throughout..Thanks for sharing..I would love to get to half this level.. Really incredible work!

[@thenorriestory]

I was just saying last night that I wish you’d post a video like this and here it is lol. Thank you Sir!

[@jonnieson9656]

Just awesome video footage, thanks again, your the best adventure I follow. Nice that I can set home and see spectacular nature this world has too offer!

[@landlice48]

A million thanks for sharing your knowledge, humour and very appreciated video and documentary travels .

[@h.h.6551]

Your video content has been excellent as well as your editing.

[@eggberta]

agreed....I worked as a Quality Control Op for a "Broadcasting Company" for 20 years, and my job was to QC prime time programming and commercial spots for technical flaws. Dustin's video and editing work is on point!

[@jameslumley5170]

You know you're equipment well. Great stuff coming up on screen. Keep up the good work!!

[@hellofoodiebeauties]

You're very talented... we appreciate all the work you do, and all the equipment you lug around to produce masterpieces for us to enjoy. Thanks Dustin... looking forward to the next adventure.

[@bob_frazier]

Love those slider shots, D!

[@marilynmaker5942]

That's a lot of equipment! No wonder you're so pro-amazing. I love your drone footage always. Thanks for sharing this with us Dustin. Keep on adventuring! 🥰

[@DieselTjuv]

Aw shucks, you forgot the "backup" camera on the rear of the camper 😜. Thanks for the walk-through!

[@BronzedTube]

dude, if you just posted like an hour of non stop b-roll of the front camera on the raft, I wouldn't complain. Just for meditating. lol

[@spongebobsqueeze]

I think you have forgotten your most important equipment. Your time,your experience and most importantly your talent. I could film with the best gear from now until those glaciers melted and still not frame a photo correctly much less decently edit a video. So many of me and so few of you. Your videos are spectacular.

[@joannamarie_yt]

I was thinking about the original camera gear video you did just the other day 😂. Was gonna go hunt for it so I immensely appreciate this update ^_^

[@NorthcoastDrone]

Great video. Dont rush to do 4K untill your ready, the file size and upload times are killer but starlink does rock for that. And the DJI mini 2 is a tank of a drone

[@waterfallsofbritishcolumbia785]

Awesome video! I had no idea that those slider setups were even a thing, I assumed most of those shots you were doing a manual pan. Definitely adds a great cinematic feel when you incorporate those clips. Great knowledge segment Dustin.

[@remitremblay2091]

Quite the gear you’ve got there!!! Just stating to use my own small dji drone and can’t wait to have some time to figure out what to do with my footings! Thanks for the review :-)

[@ErnestColeFishing]

For the Rode mic, you should be able to clip that cable in the groves in the cold shoe. I do that for mine using my go pro.

[@joshbreeze1865]

I dont think you need to be told, but yes. You get some great B Roll shots with the slider.

[@garyhusband3395]

Thank you very much for this gear video. You sure make great videos with this gear and your knowledge.

[@avid.venture]

Nice set ups. I use the mini 2 as well.. and had my fair share of crashes 😂. The thing is tough as nails though. Love them

[@oxygen454]

Yes DaVinci Resolve! I was hoping you would say that. Love that program so much better than premier now 👍

[@TinTin-nz2kt]

Don't ya just love when things just keep working. Hobby Photographer her and dabble in Colour film cameras as well. Had to get the battery changed in a old Canon AE-1 Program takes great photos still working on a roll of film in it. Have you ever worked with Film Cameras? @Destination Adventure

[@Zewestcoaster]

Have you covered what camera/monitor you use to watch the trailer? (The camera that is located on the camper that is connected to the monitor on the dash that watches the trailer.) Wired? Wireless? Battery life? Thanks,

[@TheWoodenRider]

Thanks for the behind the scenes look Do you find there is a huge quality boost when filming with cameras+lenses as opposed to cell phones? I was looking up the prices in amazon while you were talking and felt a bit ill I use iPhone13, iPhone8 and iPadPro for my channel and usually do film in 4k even if I only publish usually in 1080 I think we have the same exact slider? mine has a wired remote which was cheaper and didn't need a cell phone to control, so easier to use and faster. You are going to love the M-series Apple laptops, had one for 2 years now and FinalCut makes for a deadly combination

[@scottlawson4622]

I have noticed that there is a VHF/FM antenna mounted on the truck. Are you a Amateur Radio Guy??? I try to catch all your travels.. I am a native of NW Washington State, now residing in Missouri. So much of your content hits me with a little bit of a yearning for the days of my youth. Keep up the great work.

[@mannsonthemove2958]

Thank you! You’ve answered a bunch of questions I wanted to ask. Love your videos!

[@Niagara716]

Thanks Justin! 😎

[@MapleMarmite]

That slider unit really has produced some excellent shots and made me wonder how the camera was moving if you were on film. Nice review of everything else, too. Making a start on filming stuff myself but just using my current and older iPhones and some external microphones. Picked up a nice used gimble, too. Will see what I can come up with out of that for now. What do you use for external mounts on the truck for your camera? I’m guessing you put a GoPro on the outside but I’ll be using an iPhone so don’t want to lose it, even though it’s an older one. Thinking of using a suction mount and a secondary magnet with a fine wire as a back up to catch the phone if it does come off.

[@beyondtwominutes]

Thanks for taking the time to film this! Your cinematic shots are well done! As well as your drone footage! Trying to film for my channel has taught me a lot mlre respect for solo channels. Its not easy to do it all! The best gear is the gear that gets used. I also use davinci resolve. Great software. I wish you continue succes in sharing your adventures with us! Hope it continues to provide a life you are happy living!

[@SeeMallardMedia]

RODE VIDEO MICRO FALLING DOWN FIX!!! Turn the connector end down and poke the red cable into the slots on the round part of the bracket that connects to the camera. I got this from another KZbinr Cody Wanner "You're Using Your Rode VideoMicro Wrong!" LOVE YOUR WORK!!! There is a mountain near my home in Little Rock called Petit Jean. There used to be a Arkansas State Park sign on the mountain as you drove into the park it that said, Take nothing but photos, leave nothing but footprints.

[@Overlandtraveladventure]

Morning Dustin, thanks again for your time and effort in producing the videos.. and inspiring myself to make better vlogs. Respect 🫡 Question, the slider: is it motorised? & can i ask the make/model. Thank you

[@lorenworthington8739]

Great stuff. I would be curious about your process and methods for downloading all the data and how you store it and keep it organized.

I’m happy to hear that you use the Mini 2 and that it’s been very durable. I recently took the plunge and purchased it’s successor, the mini 3. If you could only have one of the 3 cameras, which would you choose?

If it works, why change it. Loving your videos!!!

[@MountainParameters]

The Star Link subscription? As most of your time is in the Chilcotin, I'm under the impression you can remain in the same footprint Polygon and use a Standard subscription which is much more affordable?

[@mjmcomputers]

No issues with GoPros not recording?

[@Destination_Adventure]

GoPros are full of bugs. It’s the only downfall. They pump out new models faster than they can finish the software. Check to see if there’s a software update.

[@mjmcomputers]

@@Destination_Adventure been considering one or maybe a DJI, GoPro seems to have the features and DJI has the stability.

[@mrandrat625]

I still think you should do signed & numbered limited edition prints. Your cinematography is that good. Imagine your viewers being able to purchase prints from the videos, Link in the Description.. I'd buy at least one (depending). I wonder if you could set up an agreement with a local (or Van) gallery that could handle the creation/storage/logistics for a percentage. Just sayin' 😉

[@BronzedTube]

I would buy. I could use some new things on the wall in my office.

[@holmenadventurecamp]

hey buddy, if your wanting to work with 4k. From bigger files like log files, on lower computer. Make proxy files and relink media when cooler correcting. Personally I have a m2 shoot canon log and still make/work with proxies, butter smooth editing. Personally I use QuickTime Pro res low as my proxy codec. All the best, Holmen.

[@Destination_Adventure]

I have tried this, and with success. I just find it disrupts an already lengthy weekly editing process. Probably just because it’s unfamiliar though, but it’s gotten me out of a punch a couple times.
