Common shoots
Start with the kind of shot. Then confirm how you will record, mount and edit the footage.
Use the iPhone when you want to shoot, review and post from one device.
Confirm vertical or horizontal framing, sound, power, storage and how you will move the files.
Use a pocket gimbal camera when one person needs smooth moving shots without carrying a larger rig.
Confirm how many microphones you need, your framing, your media and what comes in the rental case.
Use a 360 camera when you want to choose the angle or aspect ratio after the shoot.
Choose based on the editing software your team uses, the recording mode you need and how you plan to finish the video.
Use an action camera when it needs to be mounted, may get wet or has to move with the action.

Use camera glasses when you want the shot to follow the wearer's point of view.
Confirm clip length, consent, battery, storage and whether the image quality is right for the final video.
Capture plan
The camera is only one part of the setup. A little planning helps you avoid missing a mount, microphone, memory card or editing step.
Decide whether the camera points in one direction or captures 360 degrees for reframing later.
Choose handheld, built-in gimbal, mounted action or wearable capture based on the shot.
Confirm whether built-in audio is enough or whether the shoot needs a wireless microphone or separate recorder.
Know whether you will post quickly, move the footage to an editing app or stitch and reframe it first.
Setup selector
Answer three questions about the shot, editing and sound. We will suggest a current product when there is a clear fit. If there is not, we will tell you what kind of camera to compare.
