SPORTS VIDEOGRAPHY

CANON

Dedicated video cameras and mirrorless options to help capture magical sporting moments with ease. These carefully selected packages come with batteries and memory cards, so you'll have all you need to get shooting. 

Solutions > Sports > Sports Videography > Canon

A juggernaut of the industry, Canon has exciting options in both the dedicated handheld video sphere, and with their mirrorless hybrid cameras which offer fantastic video options as well as stills performance. Choosing which road to tread will likely come down to what you're shooting and what options you require. Handheld cameras feature pre-attached zoom lenses tailored exclusively to video capture, whereas Canon's mirrorless range uses a detachable RF lens mount system. This means you can use any RF mount lenses, or the older EF mount lenses if using an adaptor. Just remember that not all stills lenses are perfect for video, so if you're adding lenses on to these existing packages, make sure to do your research!

Option 2 - Canon EOS R5 C, Canon RF 70-200mm F2.8 lens & Rode Videomic Pro+, Manfrotto Fluid Tripod and Head
Weekend from £204 - hire now!

Canon's latest hybrid beast has a vast swathe of features to offer sports shooters. Featuring a 46-megapixel full frame sensor, it can manage stunning 8K internal recording, along with 120 frames per second 4K for buttery-smooth slow motion action. With its RF lens mount offering some of the most precise glass in the world, alongside class-leading autofocus technology and multiple RAW recording options, the R5 C is the absolute business.

Partnering the R5 C, the Canon RF 70-200mm F2.8 provides a nice range for establishing shots and general shooting, though you might want to add a longer prime if you’re planning on capturing objects a significant distance from you. For audio, the Rode Videomic Pro+ elegantly slots onto the R6’s shoe mount, and for stability and panning, the Manfrotto Fluid Tripod and Head is more than up to the task. This package also includes 2 batteries, a charger and a memory card.
