Walking videos gear advice

[Lenovich]

^{Sorry for simplified english.} 

Hi folks! I make a small youtube chanel in a specific genre: City waking videos. It is a hobby channel. My goal not make big channel or deal with monetization, my goal have good time in my city and enjoy simple video production. 

 

Main question of topic: What gear do proffesionals or hobbysts can recomend for this very specific type of walking video?

Secondary question: how to store and  manage big 4K videos?

 

Current gear: DJI osmo pocket V1. Zoom H1N audio recorder. What i personnaly like about my gear, camera have very small footprint, even smaller than smartphone.

P.S. I choose osmo pocket v1 over v2 because of fov of lenses, its wide but without heavy distortion.

No experience but I was looking to get into this myself last year. I kinda decided on the Pocket 2 with optional wide angle adapter, but never went through with the purchase due to a change in personal situation.

 

I follow some streamers who do this. They seem to use a phone on a gimbal but this may be in part because they're streaming live, not just doing recorded content. Phones vary between iPhone and Android.

 

To manage video files I temporarily store them on SSD while working on them, and move them to hard disk on NAS for long term storage after I'm done editing. Personally I use Unraid for that storage as it is easy to maintain and add more space if needed. It isn't a high performance solution although depending on the settings it isn't that bad either relative to single native HD.

Couldn’t you get a go pro mini? Don’t really know if that would be a set up in quality or not. Video management id get a big SD card and just dump it all into a back up on a PC with time stamps or other identifiers for ease of locating 

nice camera. Digital stabilisation is fine.  Can you recomend any software for taging all video?

By the way, if you put osmo pocket on selfie stick it is becomes more stable.
