A photography walk
Start with the Sony A7R IV. Add the Pocket 3 when the walk also has a film to tell.
PACK FOR THE DAY
The journey decides what goes in the bag. This is my working equipment, not a suggestion to carry seven cameras on every walk.
The Sony A7R IV is the main stills camera; the Pocket 3 is the primary solo video camera. The other cameras give me different options, from travelling lighter to a wearable point of view. Each adventure will list only what I actually took.
A STARTING POINT, NOT A PACKING RULE
Start with the Sony A7R IV. Add the Pocket 3 when the walk also has a film to tell.
The RX100 keeps stills compact. Take one video camera only if the story needs it.
The Action 4 is the video option for rougher conditions. The day and the forecast still decide what goes in the bag.
Main stills camera
The photography-led option for landscape, wildlife and finished photographs.
Travel light
A smaller stills option for longer walks and days with less in the bag.
Solo filmmaking
The primary camera for talking to camera and filming the moments between photographs.
A walker's point of view
Wearable footage and a look behind the scenes.
Another perspective
Creative solo compositions and the freedom to reframe footage.
Out in the elements
The option for mounted footage and rougher conditions.
A sense of place
Aerial views when the location and conditions allow. Not part of every outing.
Experience notes will be added as the kit appears in published adventures. There are no shopping links here.
