Sean Viljoen’s photo and video gear

Stills

He’s been shooting with a Nikon D810 for the past few years. It has incredible dynamic range and due to the amount of time-lapse that he does, the built-in intervalometer is really helpful. It’s a great all-purpose camera, but he’d love to get his hands on the new Nikon D850 if possible!

Besides recently filming a project using the Black Magic Ursa Mini Pro and Ursa Mini 4.6k, he’s filmed extensively with the Sony FS7 and Sony a7S II and enjoys both for different reasons. They’re both incredibly hardy which helps a lot for the sort of work he does: Always being out in the sun and dust isn’t ideal for camera gear, but both cameras seem to hold up well and the image quality is great. For epic motion time-lapse, he uses the Syrp Genie. Additionally, he shoots aerials using the DJI Phantom 4 Pro, which has incredible image quality and uses the Aquatech Underwater Housing for his Sony a7S II camera with a 16-35mm Zeiss lens when diving.
