Run about a bit!

Sports videographers have a tricky (but fun) decision to make these days - do I want to shoot with a fixed lens video camera, or something else? With the speedy emergence of mirrorless cameras that excel at both stills and video, smaller cameras with detachable lenses have become a viable alternative to a traditional video rig. Whatever you're into, we have a host of different options in both camps, and below is a selection of the best ones. As well as a suitable tripod, these packages also come with batteries and memory, so you'll be all set whatever sport you're filming.
