Fathom Frontiers Gear

Here is a look at what we take out in the field to capture all the action and bring it to you.

The team built a parabolic microphone setup using some equipment they already had in their pack. The project, including detailed instructions so you too can build your very own, is HERE.

SONY HVR-Z5U

This HD video camera from Sony's pro division allows us to take broadcast quality video in the field. This model also provides professional quality audio along with the 1080P video resolution. Although this camera is quite big itis stil very portable.

Fenix TK35

With 4 light levels and 820 Lumens this tactical light is often reffered to as the best purchase ever made. The aircraft alluminum body is lightweight, durable and waterproof it is a must have for any night ops.

Azden SGM-2X

This shotgun microphone records better audio than any onboard mics we have. We use this on a boom pole for filming and in our new parabolic mic setup...love it!

V.I.O. POV. HD

This HD helmet camera has all the features we need. 1080P video, high quality audio, plenty of settings and its tough as nails. We strap this baby on a backpack shoulder strap, press record and head out into the woods.

SONY HDR-XR550

BUSHNELL BONE COLLECTOR TROPHEY CAM

First of all this guy is only 3 1/2" by 5 1/2" in size, IT'S TINY! Second, 4 AA batteries lasts 6 months, 8 AA batteries lasts 12. With an 8MP camera and 32 IR LEDs whats not to love. Oh yeah, it shoots widescreen VGA video too.

ZOOM H4

This high quality audio recorder features two studio microphones for crisp clean recording. It records on an SD card, runs on batteries and is small enough to strap on your belt. You can plug an external microphone into it and even record on up to four tracks if needed. Its basically a mini recording studio.

SONY UWP-V1

This professional wireless lavalier mic has the rugged housing and long range required for Fathom Frontiers' field work. Sold by Sony's pro division this baby plugs right in to your camera's mic input and even mounts on the camera's hot shoe interface.
