Revision as of 21:29, 18 December 2023

Here is a listing of the gear I've bought, and at least until now, what I think of it, for documenting our epic adventure.

Video

Insta360 X3 360 Camera

This is awesome.


Insta360 Ace Pro Camera

This is awesome.


Power

Anker Portable Power Bank, 40,000mAh 30W Battery Pack with USB-C

I picked up the the Anker 40,000 mAh 20W Battery Pack as my primary power source. It has USB-C and USB-A ports on it, and is power enough to run a laptop. It should be able to charge my phone, cameras, wireless audio, satellite communicator, headlamp, watch, or anything else we need powered up while on our adventure. It's a bit heavy/bulky, but since I'm going to try to run video the entire hike, I'm going to be needing to charge backup batteries while we're in motion. I'm hoping this will do the trick.

Audio

R0de Wireless Go II Dual Channel

I picked up the Wireless GO II model dual channel Analog and Digital clip on microphones. These will allow me to capture both my an John's voices while we're on trail (in separate audio channels) to get all the good jokes and quips. See below for the "dead cat" wind muffs I'll be mounting on them to cut down on the noise. I also found a nice mount that puts the receiver on the side of the 360 camera in the stitch line so it's invisible in the shot.

Insta360 Mic Cold Shoe for X3 and R0De Wireless Go

Also known as the Ulanzi PT-20, this mic cold shoe will stay under quick release shoe on the Insta360 camera, an the R0de wireless mic receiver clips onto it. It stays out of the shot as it is mounted in the stitch line of the camera.

R0de Wireless ZGCine Charging Case with 3,400 mAh Battery

I picked up the the [hhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B09C1G9Z1D?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details ZGcine charging case] for the R0de Go wireless microphones to keep them charged on the hike. This base has USB-C input, so my battery pack will charge the case, but the case also has a good sized (3,400 mAh) battery too, so I can charge my phone (and whatever I need, say my headlamp) at our water breaks, and this case in the pack while we're on trail.

R0de Wireless YouShares Carrying Case

I picked up the the YouShares carrying case for the R0de Go wireless microphones to keep them organized when I don't need to be charging them. This pack carries it's analog audio cable, charging USB-C wire, and the "dead cats" that came with it. The dead cats are the wind screen to keep noise at a minimum.
