My B.T.S Setup

When you're constantly on set juggling lighting setups, directing talent, or capturing that perfect frame, documenting the behind-the-scenes (BTS) process can easily get overlooked. That’s why I’ve come to rely heavily on one piece of gear that’s always ready to roll—the DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro.

This camera hits the sweet spot between professional quality and set-and-forget convenience. With its upgraded 1-inch sensor, the Action 5 Pro captures surprisingly crisp detail and dynamic range, even in the unpredictable lighting conditions. Whether it's golden hour or a dimly lit control room, it performs reliably.

What really makes it my go-to BTS camera is its versatility & stabilisation. I can strap it onto my rig, clip it to a light stand, or clip around my neck—no gimbals, no fuss. And the magnetic quick-release design lets me switch setups in seconds, which is key when things move fast on set.

It’s rugged, waterproof, and smart enough to handle voice commands and automatic horizon leveling. But above all, it gives me clean, cinematic-looking BTS content without interrupting my creative flow.

For anyone serious about documenting the process while staying in the moment, the DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro is a must.
