Here's how I film my YOUTUBE videos outdoors with compact camera equipment

In this video, I show you the camera gear I use to make my YouTube videos. I discuss how I make YouTube videos outdoors using what I think to be the best vlogging set up for YouTube. I believe the best camera for making videos is the one you have on you. I’ve always got my iPhone 14 pro in my pocket and the video quality is superb. I also take the compact GoPro hero, 11 Black. And I also carry a compact wireless microphone system to record my YouTube audio and how I sync up all of the audio to the video put together the final clip to YouTube.

There's a lot more to this YouTube lark than I appreciated.
There is a hiking & wild camping YouTuber who often complains their video's don't get enough views to warrant the effort involved.
I kind of see his point now.

So much goes into your YT films Paul. Thanks for giving us an insight 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Paul this video fills in all those blanks spots where one says Oh crikey where I go from here type scenarios. It's highly amiable of you to unselfishly share these extremely important videoing tips and points that cut through all the technical jargon to a more simpler language for a clearer understanding. All truly well appreciated. Thanks old mate. All the very best in Health, Wealth and Happiness to you and your family from the land of endless summer, Cambodia. 👌👌💯

Great info Paul. I'll be referencing this video again. This is why you're my favourite Wild Camping channel. Every video teaches you something useful, whereas a vast number of similar channels are made up of clickbait videos with very little educational value whatsoever.
You're creating awesome content 🤘
I've been using the GoPro Hero 5 black for years. It's only downfall is that it doesn't zoom so I struggle to capture some of the amazing wildlife I see. Also my content would probably bore the arse off people coz I tend to just film sections of my walks. Maybe I should overdub a bit of historical narrative over it or something, if I'm going to upload it. Or I could do what so many others do, keep my boring content and title it 'CAMPING HERE WAS LIKE CAMPING IN THE FOREST IN DELIVERANCE'
BOOM: YouTube made easy 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Mate I just used my iphone to film my grand canyon trip. Footage was better than I thought. Remind me why I lug 5KG of camera gear up a mountain?

[MB_EDC]

Brilliant! Thanks Paul. I really appreciate your common sense approach. I am only 3 months into my YouTube journey and still working with borrowed kit. I have been filming at my desk so far and plan to do more videos outside when I get the hang of everything. This video has been great to give me an idea of some of the kit I will need. Would it be possible for you do do a video on how you plan, execute and edit your videos? I think a lot of people (me especially) would find it really interesting.

The magician shows how the tricks are done. The quality of this channel has always been high. That disappearing boom blew me away when you started using it. I didn't know how you were getting those shots. I thought it was all drone and you were master drone pilot but I never heard the whine sound they make.

[TheLDunn]

Yeah, really interesting ‘behind the scenes’ video. It’s great to see what you use to create these videos.

[andycomley]

Thank you very much for this extremely informative technical insight. Thanks for being transparent & sharing behind the scene gear list. I will be using your advice, which reflects how rare & valuable such sharing of experience can be in some aspects of the creative industries. I greatly appreciate your openness & no doubt how it will support newbie mobile based film makers.

[JakeMay]

As someone who makes cycling related outdoor content it was great to see someone else's tools and processes - cheere for sharing

[WalkWithWallace]

Nice set up Paul, really liking the look of the Tentacle audio set up. I didn't quite get it when you were explaining it to me but makes sense now. Like that tripod at the beginning too. Not as steady as the Aoka but lighter and quicker. 🤔

[andrew_hikes]

I am always so impressed by your seamless narration and your ability to cover so much content in such a short video. Your videos are so well put together it is hard to believe there isn’t a crew behind the camera managing the ‘set’. Thanks for sharing these hardware tips with us!

[DavWalker-zuhh]

Been waiting for something like this but sweet all the details mate 💯

[philjones]

I would love to start filming my hikes and camps but just listening to the jargon about the computer is enough to make me squirm. Got rid of the dslr because i had so much footage on cards and no clue as to what to do with it. Still, at least i get out there which is the main thing and when i get back i can chill and watch your videos😊

[biagiosadventures]

Thanks Paul, a great insight for someone like me who is learning all the stuff. Thank you.

[AndreasHontzia]

This is awesome! Doing the audio sync manually is a nightmare. Just throwing all footage and audio in the timeline and start cutting is so easing.

[ExploreWithSam.]

This is awesome! I’ve recently bought some of that gear and about to test it this week in the peaks!
Struggling with the go pro battery duration at the moment! Just have to bring extra charges!

[chrisbland]

Thanks Paul I love the honesty and detail in this video, I’ve been waiting a long time for this so thank you 🙏🏻 great stuff!!

[thejacobitehiker]

Thank you for sharing this, Paul. I'm looking to make my videos better asap and this has given me some great ideas and info on how to do that. Cheers, all the very best, Davey.

[mjhinton]

been waiting for a video like this for along time. really good to know what you use and provides me with ideas for my content. thanks Paul...as always great content. thanks so much.
