Handheld camera tech

Compact camera gear can document a build from the bench, the shop floor and the finished project. Compare framing, stabilization, audio and file handling together.

Before choosing your setup

Check how the camera mounts at the bench and how you will keep the work in frame.
Plan lighting and audio for the details you want to record.
Match recording settings to the storage cards and editing tools you use.
Check charging connections and the accessories included in the selected kit.
