Thread: Video equipment, filming and editing

The last time I made any videos was during deployments with a fuji finepix camera (expensive $1000 bit of gear at the time) and microsoft movie maker software, but that was 15 years ago and things have changed since then.
I know some of you chaps around here make hunting videos for youtube and I'm seeing some decent ones around, not just the single take filmed on an iphone clips but the television quality stuff.
Can someone give me their list of preferred items for movie making nowadays? I'm thinking in terms of a Go-Pro and its various accessories, and what editing software is accessible without expensive licenses. I will scour the youtube for some reviews on gear as I go, but I'd like to see what you chaps are carrying around the hills.. what is useful and what is not for outdoor filming.
