Filming with your smartphone

Field test: Which camera equipment do I need for the shoot?

It’s only in practice that you can find out which equipment works stably and safely. Here, the stable handheld and wired sound proved their worth when filming an Instagram reel series for the media portrayal of female craftspeople. The photo of the assignment with Sibylle Trost at the camera was taken by Elke Köpping.
