Quiet Roamers
Sony Alpha 6700
Our main camera: every static shot in the Aegviidu – Napu film, recorded in S-Log3 and graded afterwards.
Our gear
What we carry on the trail and film it with. Everything here has been on at least one of our trips, with a line on how it did.
Links go to Amazon Germany (amazon.de). Most items deliver to Estonia; GoPro cameras currently do not.
Filming
Used on: Aegviidu – Napu
Tamron 17-70 mm f/2.8 Di III-A VC RXD (Sony E)
The one lens we use on the a6700, for everything from the forest to the bog.
GoPro HERO11 Black
For the walking shots, where a bigger camera would get in the way.
C-Rope Creatorpod tripod
One tripod between the two of us; it carried the a6700 for every static shot. The ball head takes the Peak Design plate, so the camera goes from the pack strap to the tripod without changing plates.
Sony ECM-W3
Sony's wireless set: two clip-on transmitters and a receiver that sits in the a6700's shoe with no cable. We clip a transmitter near the subject when the camera is far away, so the sound stays close even when the shot is wide.
Peak Design Capture clip
Clipped to a pack strap, the a6700 hangs there all day and comes out in one motion when something is worth filming. Its Arca-type plate drops straight into the Creatorpod's head, so no plate swapping on the trail.

Stainless-steel tent stove
Ours is a near twin of this one: 304 stainless steel, glass door, air damper, fold-out side shelves and a telescopic chimney. What we would change: get one with an ash drawer.
