I use Canon - I have 2x Canon 5D Mk4 bodies; my birding lens in a Canon 500-f4; wildlife I use Canon 100-400mm or my Canon 70--200mm, also have a wide-angle, and an assortment of other Canon lenses. I travel to Africa 3-5 times a year and do photo safaris. I live in Tampa Florida and to stay sharp with my skills and settings I take photos of birds, gators, and any other critter that I can find.

Hey everyone, I'm looking for some advice on a problem I have recording videos. Specifically, an audio problem related to my rig. I know that's kind of a separate subject from pure photography, but I'm hoping someone here might know the answer. I did a lot of vlogging in my rig last year and got home to find out all the footage I shot in my rig included a very annoying buzz sound caused by my power supply. I had my camera (Canon EOS 6D MkII) connected to my 12v/120v power inverter via a dummy battery plug. So, my guess is that the inverter caused some interference that was picked up by the mic (hotshoe mounted shotgun mic). Does anyone know if there's something I can put between the inverter and the camera that will eliminate that noise?

I know I could avoid this by just using camera batteries, but it was really nice to be able to leave the camera on and just hit record without worrying about the battery dying.

Thanks!

@Aequitas1916

As A Nikon Shooter I know the extended Grips for my Nikons offer either 2 regular batteries (one in the body & one in a tray in the grip) or 1 in the body & a much larger battery in the grip. Not Sure if the extended grip for the Canon 6D MkII offers a similar setup.

Another option used by Astro-photography shooters is the Orion 12V DC Power Adapters I believe that the 6d is supported. These are like your dummy plug but convert 12v to the 7.2v DC (IIRC) that the the camera needs. If you don't mind DIYing it there are plans on some of the Astrophoto forums ( or 12V adapter for EOS 6D? - DSLR, Mirrorless & General-Purpose Digital Camera DSO Imaging - Cloudy Nights )

The last option is a better inverter with pure-sine wave output and a good noise filter.

Thanks for the tip! I'll look into the Orion power adapter. I do astrophotography too, but had been making that work ok with the inverter (since sound isn't an issue with that). But, plugging the camera directly into my 12v outlet would be more convenient anyway. Wouldn't have cables running all around the cab then.

Thanks!

I would love to take some quality photos. However what Steve has said might as well be in French. I need the dummies guide to photography

Pick up a simple and easy to use point and shoot digital camera to start. Nikon and Lumix make great ones that can take quality video as well. Both have YouTube videos showing how to use. Once you have learned the terminology you can upgrade if you choose.

As a photographer myself, I for one cannot wait to see where all my overlanding trips will take me. Currently I'm stuck to somewhat tame roads as my off road beast isn't built yet. But here a few from my tame adventures.

Love the White Rim and Shafer. I have a video on youtube that shows it from the Dashcam on my Earthcruiser. Great photos

Just thought I'd share a few more of my favourite landscape shots.
Landscape is my primary interest but I do sometimes dabble in other areas (astrophotography, travel portraits, wildlife and macro)

#1 is Ibex Dunes in Death Valley

#2 is Thor's Well on the Oregon Coast

#3 is the Wanaka Tree on the South Island of New Zealand

We do like the wide-format landscape photos and think as a style they are very under appreciated. Where was this taken?
