When it comes to capturing high-quality video content, the commercial videographer kit bag you bring to a shoot can make all the difference. At Base Aura Media, we pride ourselves on using the best equipment to ensure every project meets the highest standards of production. Our kit is carefully curated to handle a wide variety of shooting situations, giving us the creative edge needed for every project. The standout pieces of kit we always bring to video shoots include the Mavic Air 3S Drone, Lumix GH6 cameras, Go Pro 13s, Brinno Time Lapse Cameras, and the Ronin RS3 Gimbal. These tools help us capture breathtaking, professional footage and offer the flexibility and precision every videographer dreams of.


The Mavic Air 3S Drone: Elevating Perspectives


The Mavic Air 3S Drone is an essential piece of our video production kit, and for good reason. This compact yet powerful drone allows us to capture stunning aerial shots that add a whole new dimension to our visual storytelling. With its 4K camera, advanced flight capabilities, and impressive stability, the Mavic Air 3S ensures every aerial shot is smooth and cinematic. Whether we’re shooting sweeping landscapes, dynamic action sequences, or establishing shots for a corporate video, this drone delivers exceptional quality and versatility.


One of the standout features of the Mavic Air 3S is its intelligent flight modes. These include ActiveTrack, which keeps moving subjects in frame with ease, and Point of Interest, which circles around a subject for dramatic, well-composed shots. Additionally, the Mavic Air 3S boasts a long battery life and robust obstacle avoidance technology, making it perfect for capturing complex aerial manoeuvres safely and efficiently. By incorporating this drone into our shoots, we’re able to offer our clients unique perspectives that elevate the overall production value of their content.


Lumix GH6 Cameras: A Cinematic Powerhouse


The Lumix GH6 is the workhorse of our video production setup. Renowned for its exceptional video capabilities, this mirrorless camera is a favorite among videographers for good reason. The GH6 offers a 25.2MP sensor and the ability to shoot 5.7K video, providing unparalleled image quality and detail. This high resolution allows us to crop, stabilise, and reframe shots in post-production without sacrificing clarity.


Another key advantage of the Lumix GH6 is its advanced video recording formats. It supports ProRes and 10-bit 4:2:2 internal recording, ensuring that our footage retains maximum colour information and dynamic range. This is crucial when it comes to colour grading and achieving a polished, cinematic look. The camera’s high frame rate capabilities, including 4K at 120fps and Full HD at 240fps, allow us to capture stunning slow-motion footage, perfect for adding drama and emotion to our videos.


In addition to its technical prowess, the GH6 is designed with usability in mind. Its compact size and lightweight build make it easy to handle on long shoots, while its robust stabilisation system ensures smooth, handheld footage even in challenging conditions. The camera’s flexible lens options and adaptable settings make it suitable for a wide range of shooting environments, from controlled studio setups to fast-paced location shoots.


Go Pro 13s: Action and Versatility


The Go Pro 13 is the ultimate action camera and an invaluable part of our kit. Known for its rugged design and incredible video quality, the Go Pro 13 excels in capturing fast-paced, immersive footage. It’s perfect for situations where other cameras might struggle, whether mounted on vehicles, helmets, or handheld rigs in challenging environments.


With its ability to shoot in 5.3K resolution and impressive stabilisation technology, the Go Pro 13 delivers crystal-clear, shake-free footage even in the most extreme conditions. The camera’s waterproof build and compact size make it ideal for capturing unique angles and perspectives that wouldn’t be possible with larger, more delicate equipment. Whether we’re shooting action sports, behind-the-scenes content, or creative POV shots, the Go Pro 13 never lets us down.


Brinno Time Lapse Cameras: Capturing the Passage of Time


For long-term projects and creative storytelling, we rely on Brinno Time Lapse Cameras. These specialised cameras are designed to capture stunning time-lapse footage with ease, making them perfect for documenting construction projects, event setups, and evolving landscapes.


The Brinno cameras offer exceptional battery life and customisable interval settings, allowing us to capture hours, days, or even weeks of footage without interruption. Their ease of use and durability make them a go-to for capturing time-based content, providing visually engaging sequences that add depth and context to our videos.


Ronin RS3 Gimbal: Smooth and Stable Cinematics


Stability is key to professional-quality video, and the Ronin RS3 Gimbal ensures every shot we take is smooth and fluid. This powerful gimbal is designed for mirrorless and DSLR cameras, offering exceptional stabilisation even during complex movements and dynamic shooting scenarios.

The RS3’s lightweight design and advanced features, such as automated axis locks and customisable controls, make it a dream to work with on set. Whether we’re capturing tracking shots, creative angles, or handheld sequences, the Ronin RS3 keeps our footage steady and professional, allowing us to focus on creativity without worrying about camera shake.
