Steve’s Expedition Production Kit Breakdown:
10–20 Pelican cases for carrying all gear into remote field sites.
Underwater housings for protecting cameras for long ocean deployments.
Gimbals for stabilising shots on moving boats and in rough conditions.
Drones for aerial coverage, safety and site scouting.
Long-deployment underwater camera systems for up to 16 hours runtime on tripods, capturing shark and fish trajectories.
MacBook Pro for the core of the field workstation.
DaVinci Resolve for heavy and consistent video editing.
RAID SSD storage units for fast, rugged storage for nightly backups.
EcoFlow power supply or generator for keeping kit running when mains power isn’t available.
Tents and solar panels (for December’s month-long camp) — turning a beach into both a science lab and film set.
