My main camera is the Canon Vixia HFS100. I bought the camera in 2009 and have used it like crazy since then. I love how small it is, but the video it captures looks like it’s from a much bigger camera. Many people are surprised after watching my videos when they finally see how small my camera is.
http://amzn.to/ph3xhP It looks like the HFS100 is still for sale, but there is a newer version out that has replaced it. The Vixia HFS30 http://amzn.to/ns1aA3 You will have to read up on them because I have no idea what the differences are.
The shotgun microphone I use is made by Canon and will only work with Canon’s “mini-shoe” Sometimes I think I should have bought a Rode’s shotgun mic so I could use it with other cameras, but I was really impressed with how well the mic does. I’m often asked if I’m hiding a lapel mic somewhere under my shirt to pick up such great audio. http://amzn.to/oxhiYN
The helmet cameras I use are the Drift Stealth (http://amzn.to/qShDLd) and the Drift HD. It looks like the Drift HD hasn’t made it’s way onto Amazon.com yet, but if you check out www.mypov360.com they should have them. And if you decide to pick one up be sure to use the coupon code. “halfthrottle” It should get you $30 off your fancy new camera.
The wide angle lens adapter was actually $17.99 rather than 12 like I say in the video. http://amzn.to/qCpe2s
My tripod is made by Manfrotto and is a small enough size to fit nicely in my panniers. Tripod: http://t.co/5uu3q75 Quick connect: http://t.co/bCdVxr4 if you want to see a full review about that tripod check here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYdsazUp2y0
The Zoom H4n I use to record the narration for my videos is a game changing device. It’s an amazing microphone and can do so much more than what I use it for. Check out the video on their amazon page http://amzn.to/pnzhEL
The camera bag I’m pulling everything out is made by Domke. I’ve had the bag since 2006 and it’s been everywhere from Iraq to Europe and every country in Central America multiple times. It’s still going strong. Domke makes a lot of different bags and they are all amazing quality. http://amzn.to/qhwEAX
