YouTube camera help: I'm shooting architecture

[Darryl Roberts]

Hi,

I'll be shooting architecture with a 4x5 view camera.

I'm seeking a digital camera to produce videos of these shoots. Below is the data of what I wish to achieve. If you can please suggest a general camera type or even a specific model.

• I won't need the audio, I plan on adding that after shooting.
• I would like for it to be weather-sealed.
• I'm 56, and the lighter weight it is the better.
• I, currently, don't have a digital camera and will not use my phone.

Thank you

Just a clarification request. Do you want a digital still camera with video or a discrete digital video camera? Will you be shooting by hand, or do you intend to use a video tripod with a fluid head?

Perhaps @Andrew O'Neill would like to help a "competitor"

GoPro. Light. Compact. Built in stabilisation. I have a GoPro 9. I can do up to 5k video, but I only use 4k. You can't zoom in with my model (not sure if you can with newer ones) but there are option to switch from super-wide to narrow view. I'm using a GoPro in this video on keystoning

GoPro's have a built in mic, but you should be able to delete the audio track in your editing software. I have the media mod attachment for mine, so that I can work with a wireless mic.

Hi, no need to be discreet. I'll video the building from the camera's perspective and voice over describe the scene, history, etc.

Thank you.
