Equipment
Despite the scale of Cleetus McFarland's automotive videos, much of the channel is filmed with a relatively simple mobile workflow. Cleetus and his crew make heavy use of iPhones for day-to-day footage, with the Apple iPhone 16 Pro listed as the likely recent model, although the exact phone currently used by the crew is not consistently documented.
When a shoot calls for larger production equipment, the team also uses the Sony FX3 cinema camera, while the GoPro HERO11 Black covers action and vehicle-mounted angles. An older Sony PXW-Z90V camcorder has also been directly documented in Cleetus' filming setup.
Beyond these cameras, the crew is known to use drones, gimbals, and microphones for its racing and event productions, although the exact current models remain unidentified.
