A few folk have asked about the equipment I use to record my videos and how I get the buttery smooth shots – I’d like to say it’s me but alas it’s not me – it’s the equipment.

Below is what I use:

Main Camera: Panasonic HC-VX1 4K: https://amzn.to/2RHRJAo This never lets you down and produces great wide stunning shots in 4K

Second Camera: GoPro Hero Black 7: https://amzn.to/2PufdHg This IS THE camera if you have an allotment. It is by far the best and easiest to use – video is stunning!!!

Third Camera: Note 9: https://amzn.to/2L588MV If I have no camera and need video… this is a great video caperture phone – 4K is stunning.

Main Mic: RØDE VideoMic Pro+ Microphone – Black: https://amzn.to/2PsuTe2 The quality is unmatched.

Second Mic: Rode Smartlav+ Lavalier Microphone: https://amzn.to/2L3DBPq Back up if the wind is too great

Indoor Mic: PR 40: https://amzn.to/2PrZI2F Omph – if you are going into this for real – audio is even more important that video. This mic is a dream sound.

27” iMac: https://amzn.to/2B1VVE6 I have used Macs all my life – not one has let me down. Rock solid with rock solid software. I use Apple’s Final Cut Pro

Main Tripod: K & F Concept Tripod: https://amzn.to/2L3HKmw I have tried all so many tripods some way way more expensive. This one is great, lightweight… but opens tall enough to still get me in the shot and I am 6” 4”!

Second Tripod (for GoPro Hero 7) Joby GorillaPod SLR-Zoom: https://amzn.to/2L5vRMS This is the idea tripod when in allotment as you can stick it anywhere and record great shots

Light: Neewer 176 LED 5600K: https://amzn.to/2B5Dy0U I use this all the time now great for dull days (we get lots of those).

  1. It's that good I can see your face Iam gone lol GT information and update thanks for your time 🐞🐦👍👍👍👍👍

  2. You're a busy lad Tony!
    This is really good video. The camera is great but your editing and narration is excellent. Like how you linked your gardening at home with that on the allotment and hyperlapse journies between the two. Picture quality is crisp and colours vibrant. Stabilisation is really good. I've been thinking about getting an osmo2 for my smartphone. Just have stabilising lenses for my canon dslr. Gimbals for the dslr come with a hefty price tag. As you say were often doing small movements in confined spaces on the plot and handy shake is always amplified. The go pro is worth thinking about.
    Thanks for this. Wish more gardening Youtubers would do a few tech reviews.
    All the best
    Mike😁👍🌱

  3. I thought for a minute you were going to sweep the hedge cuttings to the allotment…
