SLOW PASSPORTREAL PLACES. REAL JOURNEYS.

BEHIND THE CAMERA

My filming kit.

The cameras and accessories I use to make Slow Passport travel films, with genuine photographs and examples from the journeys.

Start with the cameras, then explore the smaller items in the kit. You don’t need everything here to begin filming your own travels.

01 / THE TWO VIEWPOINTS

The cameras.

See both cameras’ work in the same journey: from ground level to the coastline from above.

Ground-level filming

DJI Osmo Pocket 4

I used my Pocket 4 for the ground-level filming in the Fig Tree Bay film. Those shots sit alongside the aerial footage from my Lito X1, so you can see the same place from two different perspectives.

Alternative retail bundle: Osmo Pocket 4 Essential Combo. It includes the same camera model; accessories may differ from my own kit.

Aerial filming

DJI Lito X1

I used my Lito X1 for the aerial footage in the Fig Tree Bay film. Its view from above complements the ground-level footage from my Pocket 4. Watch the film to see both cameras’ work in the same journey.

Alternative retail bundle: Lito X1 Fly More Combo with DJI RC 2. It includes the same drone model; accessories may differ from my own kit.

BEFORE YOU CHOOSE

Choose for your travels.

Think about what you want to film and what you’ll be comfortable carrying. Check the exact model, fitting and included accessories on the retailer’s listing before buying.

These are the items in my kit, rather than a shopping list everyone needs. Prices, ratings and stock availability are left to the retailer.
