Dive into my 2024 camera bag update! This year, it's all about going LIGHTER & WIDER for EPIC ADVENTURES outdoors. I've tried a few setups of the last couple of years and selected the right cameras and kit that I actually take with me on big days out in the mountains. 🏔️🧗‍♂️

I learned a lot 😊

I’m glad it was helpful 🙌

I need a HUGE camera to get my forearm bigger and improve my climbing GRADE!!

[@benmenashe]

Haha that’s one way to do it :) Jokes aside, what camera gear do you use?

[@francoclimbing]

@@benmenashe I'll show you once, I'll come to climb with you again!! Soon on Joao channel ;)

[@benmenashe]

@@francoclimbing Ah mate!!! I didn't realise it was you!! 🙌😎

Yo I want to see your editing setup…

[@benmenashe]

Hey, it’s a 14’ MacBook Pro, M3 Max “base model” without any further upgrades. Reason being I was going to get the M3 Pro and update the RAM + SSD to 1TB, the base M3 Max comes with these upgrades for not much of a price difference. It’s great! I might make a review of it, just want to spend a bit more time with it.. I was editing all on an M1 iPad Pro before…

[@hexanchidaestudios]

Those MacBooks are amazing!

That drone is terrible. My drone (O.G. Mini) is jailbroken with no-geofencing and I hacked it to enable tracking features and “follow me” mode. I also carry the Sony A1 on 50 1.2GM on my left shoulder strap & the Sony A7RIVa on 20G on my right hip. I’ll put my setup against anyone and win

[@benmenashe]

That’s cool about the drone didn’t know you can do that, personally geofencing never been an issue for me, and I prefer the mini 3 for the dedicated remote with a screen to keep my phone free.
As for the camera, I suppose we have different needs, carrying 2 cameras while climbing/in harsh mountain conditions is something I will never do, as it’s a lot of faff and extra weight which may put me and my teammates at unnecessary risk, same goes for extra/heavy glass.
Generally I go by Weight>Bulk>Versatility.
