This is a camera I’ve used for a while, and it’s an excellent all-rounder. It’s a more affordable option than the Osmo Action 5 Pro but still delivers great image quality and reliability. Highly recommended for capturing in-car footage or lesson content.
Available in both Standard and Adventure Combos — I’ve linked both below so you can pick the setup that best suits your filming needs.

This is my main in-car camera. It offers excellent image quality, improved low-light performance, and great stabilisation. It’s available in both the Standard and Standard Combo versions — I’ve linked both below so you can choose the one that best fits your filming setup.

I use the Insta360 Go 3S mainly for POV and quick, versatile shots. Its compact size and magnetic mounting system make it ideal for driving footage — small enough not to be a distraction or obstruct your view, but still powerful enough to capture high-quality video. While the DJI Nano would better match my other DJI cameras in colour profile, it’s noticeably larger, which makes the Go 3S a more practical choice for in-car and cap- mounted filming. I may test the DJI Nano in the future and update this section if it
becomes a better option.

It was a tough choice between the Insta360 X5 and the DJI Osmo 360, but I’ve now switched to the Osmo for my in-car filming. I previously used the Insta360 One X2 for years and it served me well, but the Osmo 360 has been more reliable and gives a much cleaner, wider view when mounted on
the roof for external shots. It matches perfectly with my existing DJI setup, keeps the look consistent across angles, and it’s very much a “mount it and press record” camera — simple, stable and ideal for capturing the full driving environment. That said, if you go for the Insta360 X5, you won’t go wrong either.

Up to now, I’ve been using the GoPro Suction Mount for my 360 camera setups, which has worked reliably for both stability and angle coverage. I haven’t yet tested the three- mount system designed for the back of the car, but I plan to review it soon and update this section once I’ve had a chance to compare both setups.

Highly recommended as both a general dashcam and for in-car training setups. The A229 Pro records in 4K front, 2K rear, and 1080p cabin, while the A229 Plus records in 2K front, 2K rear, and 1080p cabin. Both offer excellent video quality and the ability to run up to three channels, making them ideal for capturing multiple angles. Audio quality is also impressive, which makes them great for lesson reviews, mock tests, or everyday driving footage. Depending on your budget and use case, you can decide which best fits
your needs — I personally prefer the Pro, but the Plus is still a great choice. You can see an example of the setup and footage on my YouTube channel.

I’ve used several models in the DJI Mic range and recommend them all. I currently use the DJI Mic 2, which gives excellent sound quality and reliability. I’ve also used the DJI Mic 1 in the past, which is still a solid choice. The DJI Mic Mini is a great, more affordable option, while the DJI Mic 3 is technically the most advanced — though it doesn’t support lavalier mic inputs, so it really comes down to personal preference and setup needs.

I really rate these mounts — they’re reliable, sturdy, and easy to set up. I use them regularly inside the car, and they hold firmly even during longer drives or when filming from multiple angles. While they can be used outside the car, I recommend a different mount for exterior setups to ensure maximum stability and safety.

This is the mount I use for exterior shots. It’s strong, stable, and I’ve used it mounted on the roof at national speed limits (up to 70 mph) without any issues. You can also tether the camera for extra security, but in my experience, the mount holds firmly on its own — a great option for reliable exterior filming.

This mount is ideal for standard head restraint setups, provided your head restraint isn’t fixed to the seat and raises on the poles. It’s easy to install and adjust, with 360° rotation for flexible camera positioning. I use one regularly on shoots — it’s a simple, reliable way to capture consistent in-car footage.

These are the cards I usually use across all my action cameras. They’re fast, reliable, and handle 4K footage well. It’s always worth checking the manufacturer’s recommendations, as some products have specific compatible cards listed — but for
me, these SanDisk cards have worked perfectly.

I use the Samsung T7 mainly for managing and transferring files I’m actively editing, rather than long-term storage. It’s fast, compact, and reliable — ideal for handling large video files from cameras and dashcams when moving between devices or editing on the go.

I use Seagate 8TB HDDs to store my libraries and maintain a large archive of footage. They’re slower than the Samsung T7 SSD, so I don’t use them for active editing, but they’re much more affordable for long-term storage of large amounts of data. I’ve used Seagate drives from the very beginning and haven’t had any issues — just handle them with care, as they’re traditional hard disk drives rather than solid-state drives. Larger storage sizes are also available, so it’s worth choosing the one that best suits your needs.

Cloud storage is a great way to back up files and keep footage accessible across devices. I use both Google Drive and Apple iCloud, as each has its advantages — Google is ideal for sharing and collaboration, while iCloud integrates smoothly with Apple devices. Whichever you choose, it’s worth having a cloud option alongside
physical drives for added security and peace of mind.
