Reddit mentions of Sony a6500 Mirrorless ILC Camera w/ 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 Zoom Lens Bundle

/u/precrime3 - I'd step up the video quality on the ground and underwater with a [$1697.99 Sony A6500 with the 16-50mm power zoom] (https://www.amazon.com/Sony-Mirrorless-Camera-16-50mm-3-5-5-6/dp/B01M4QXKS1//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=battleforthew-20) and a [$243 underwater housing] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FCXCN4K/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=battleforthew-20).

This camera has 5-axis internal stabilization, so you won't need a gimbal - and it has a mic jack, so you can record direct to camera without the Zoom.

To leave room in the budget for the A6500, I'd step down to a [$399 2.7K Phantom 3 standard] (https://www.amazon.com/DJI-Phantom-P3-STANDARD-Quadcopter-Camera/dp/B013U0F6EQ//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=battleforthew-20) instead of the Mavic for aerial.

With this setup, you can travel light - and capture very high quality video on land, underwater and in the air.

The A6500 can produce 4K and slow motion image quality that looks like this:

  It's a pretty good still camera too: https://www.flickr.com/groups/3081335@N25/pool
