The countdown is on, the World Cup starts on the 20th of November with Qatar playing Ecuador. England will be stepping up the following day, playing Iran on the 21st at 13:00. We might not have been called up to the squad, but the team at Aimimage have had a hand in the World Cup, just in another way. We’ll be providing complete camera packages for the World Cup in Qatar! In preparation for this momentous occasion, we have been scouting out some extra products to offer the best packages to football fans and cameramen alike.

The DPA 4097 Micro Shotgun Microphone

One nifty product we’ve added to our repertoire is The DPA 4097 Micro Shotgun Microphone. The DPA Microphone is a small, lightweight microphone which has been outfitted specifically outfitted so it is suitable for difficult filming locations like cars (or busy football crowds and stadiums). This mic also comes with a built-in shock mount, to protect your sound from jostling elbows or goal celebration knocks!

The 4097 offers a highly directional pick-up pattern, as well as low self-noise and high sensitivity. The mic is capable of handling high SPLs, allowing it to deliver undistorted, natural sound, even when users speak loudly or yell – a particularly useful thing to know if you plan on filming in hectic stadiums. The interference tubed increases the microphone’s directionality which maintains a flat on-axis frequency response and consistent off-axis response. Increased directionality, combined with great off-axis rejection allows the microphone to isolate what should be picked up while negating sounds from the rear and sides.

The DJI RS 3 Pro Combo

Expanding on the already powerful features of the Ronin series, the DJI RS3 Pro is an advanced camera expansion platform that empowers videographers, providing coordinated shooting solutions for a professional camera crew.

The RS3 uses extended carbon fibre axis arms to enable more balancing space for professional cameras, so it is the perfect fit for cameras like the Sony FX6 or the Canon C70. The RS3 Pro means you can get started fast and never miss a shot, a useful feat for those unexpected goals.

A large built-in 1.8-inch OLED full-colour screen increases screen size by 28% compared to the RS2, so it is incredibly convenient for setting parameters, checking shooting status and framing footballers, no matter how quickly they move.

The DJI RS3 Pro combo offers:

• Quick mounting
• Long-range wireless transmission
• Coordinated shooting
• Seamless wireless camera control
