It may seem odd or overly nostalgic, but when I watch videos like this, showing off easy-to-use and portable vlogging setups, I think of my Grandad. From the early 1980s onward, my Grandad filmed everything out of his daily routine. He was given a video camera after leaving a job and despite not being creative and having no interest in photography, he started filming birthdays and events. Over the next 40 years, he filmed everything, including plenty of occasions we would ask him not to, but he didn't care. He lugged around giant Sony camcorders with tapes you put in the side like an old news reporter.
The last camera he bought before he died was still enormous by today's standard. He could nearly hold it in one hand, which was a major win in his books I imagine, but it was undeniably cumbersome. I wonder what he might have thought of cameras like this DJI Osmo Pocket 3 which is genuinely pocketable and produces stunning results!
