What we film with
People ask how we film the drives. The honest answer: a small, simple setup, used carefully. One action camera, recording in 4K at 30 frames per second, with the natural sound of the road. It rides either inside on the windshield, at the driver's eye level, or up on the moonroof for a higher, wider view of the road ahead. Everything below is exactly what we use on every drive.
GoPro HERO13 Black
The camera behind every drive. Its built-in stabilization smooths out bumps and potholes without a gimbal, and the 4K picture holds up on a big TV, which is where most of our viewers watch. If you want to film your own drives, this is the one we'd buy again.

Simple, sturdy and quick to set up. It locks onto the windshield or the moonroof in seconds and holds the shot steady on every drive we film, from city streets to mountain roads.
