Equipment
Karl Watson’s travel filmmaking setup is designed for documentary-style storytelling with cinematic visuals and lightweight gear. He records main footage on the Sony α7S III mirrorless camera, using a Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 DG DN OS Sports telephoto lens and a compact Sony FE 28-70mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS to cover everything from sweeping landscapes to close detail. For dynamic scenes and immersive shots, he adds the Insta360 ONE RS action camera and the DJI Mavic Air 2 drone.
Audio is captured with the compact Sony ECM-B1M microphone, while a JOBY GorillaPod tripod provides flexible mounting on the road. The Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max offers quick access for spontaneous clips and social content while traveling.
