My Sound Recording Setup for Wildlife Photography

📸 In this video, I'm excited to share my stereo sound recording setup, which I used during my recent adventure photographing red deer in the rutting season. Capturing the deep, powerful roars of these magnificent creatures adds a whole new dimension to my wildlife photography, and I believe that immersive sound recording can elevate our work to the next level.
I'll walk you through the gear I rely on: the Zoom F3 recorder with 32-bit float, the Clippy EM272 microphones, the Røde VideoMic NTG, and a custom-built stereo bar that simplifies the setup process.
I’ll also share some tips on getting better recordings and cover how I manage and organize these large files in DaVinci Resolve’s Fairlight, turning raw recordings into high-quality audio that complements the visual storytelling.
Join me to learn how sound can transform your photography into a multi-sensory experience!
