If you're doing any kind of outdoor sport photography or video you need the right balance of necessary, tough, weather-proof equipment. You're also limited to what you can hike, climb, ski or snowboard with.
Here's a top ten list of my recommended equipment from my latest filming project in the Swiss resort of Verbier with Team GB snowboarder Jamie Barrow:
- Camera and backup cameras - 2 x Nikon D7000s, 4 x Contours
- Radios - 2 x Motorola walkie talkies
- Spare batteries and memory cards - Nikon battery grip and Sandisk Extreme SD Cards
- Tripod - Camlink lightweight tripod
- External and Lapel Microphones - Rode StereoMic Pro
- Lenses - Telephoto, prime, fish-eye and kit
- Stabilizer - Glidecam XR 2000
- External Flash - Nissin Di866
- Laptop - Macbook Pro 13"
- Lock
And to carry it all in? The Dakine Mission Photo Backpack has never let me down! Labels: equipment, gear, guide, jamie barrow, jon williams, mountains, outdoor sports, photo, photography, recommended, red bull, shoot, ski, snow, snowboard, sports, top ten, video, videography
