No just every angle. Not just every exciting trail. Every aspect. The human element… the stories… the experience… and of course, the unexpected.

Every angle possible will be captured by the undisclosed number and type of action cameras we are bringing.
Some of which we plan to sacrifice for the sake of “getting the shot.”

(Hopefully we aren’t breaking any of our 4K field cameras – action cams we are Ok with sacrificing – primary and backup rigs… not so much. LOL)
The Panasonic AG-DVX200 is an exceptional camera that has become a favorite among documentary filmmakers, especially those working in rugged and remote environments. Its durable design makes it ideal for backcountry films, where portability and reliability are essential. With a large 4/3-inch sensor and the ability to record 4K video, the DVX200 delivers stunning image quality, while its zoom lens offers flexibility to shoot a wide range of scenes, from tight close-ups to sweeping landscapes. The camera’s casing is primarily black, with a distinctive red section on the control body, which adds a touch of character and flair. This combination of power, portability, and style makes the AG-DVX200 an awesome choice for filmmakers who need a camera that can handle the toughest conditions without sacrificing professional quality.
In the 1985 movie Back to the Future, Doctor Emmett Brown used a JVC camcorder to capture his first test of the time machine. This VHS-C camcorder had a distinctive look with a black lens and a red casing, which became iconic after the film’s release. Rumor has it that Doc Brown’s enthusiastic use of the camera—particularly in the 1955 scenes when he marveled at its technology—helped drive a massive surge in the sale of JVC camcorders. As viewers flocked to see the film, they also sought out the same camcorder, hoping to recreate some of the excitement and futuristic appeal seen on-screen. The JVC became more than just a prop; it was a symbol of technological possibility and adventure.
Urban legend has it that the popularity (and affordability) of the JVC camcorder sparked a revival filmmaking by independents, first-timers, and hobby enthusiasts in the 80s. Many filmmakers embraced the accessibility of consumer camcorders, realizing they could create films on a budget. This democratization of film technology led to an explosion of independent films in the 1980s and 1990s, a time when filmmakers didn’t need to rely on expensive equipment to tell their stories. The JVC camcorder, with its blend of affordability and portability, popularized by Back to the Future may or may not have contributed. Who really knows… but it’s a great story, and we LOVE great stories.
Legend has it that the Panasonic AG-DVX200 is a modern-day nod to the mythic JVC camcorder and its connection to independent filmmaking. Designed with a similar ethos in mind, the DVX200 combines the power and visual fidelity of Hollywood-grade cinematography with the rugged practicality needed for documentary filmmakers and journalists. It’s a tool that empowers creators to produce high-quality content in challenging environments, just as the JVC camcorder did for independent filmmakers decades ago.
Because of this deep connection to the spirit of both Back to the Future and the DIY filmmaking movement, we affectionately refer to our primary rig as “Doc Brown”—a tribute to the camera that helped shape the independent filmmaking revolution and the adventurous mindset it inspires.

We will tell you more about how we rigged our “control panel” and got everything mounted as soon as we get permission from the company to use mention their gear… If not, this text may not be here next time you visit this site.
Mounting cameras in unconventional, almost impossible perspectives—beneath the tail rotor of a helicopter, under the carriage of a truck, or even positioned to appear “smashed” by tires navigating boulders—offers an extraordinary opportunity to immerse the audience in a story like never before. These angles don’t just deliver visually stunning shots; they create a visceral connection to the narrative. By placing viewers in positions no human could realistically occupy, the footage transcends mere spectacle, adding emotional and thematic depth to the storytelling. The challenge lies in ensuring these dynamic views serve the story’s purpose, evoking a sense of awe, tension, or exhilaration rather than just presenting “cool” visuals. Fortunately, with experience on our side, we’re poised to push these boundaries and let the audience not only see the action but feel the story from entirely new vantage points.
Hey look down here. More info at the bottom of the page. Mostly the same stuff from the top menu, but a few extra things people never really pay attention to, but here it is. Enjoy?
