Let’s Talk Gear, Part 1: Willie Vogt, Farm Progress ACN’s ”Above the Fold”

In today's world, we have the highest quality technology and gear at our fingertips. There’s always something new and shiny to try out— but there are also devices you'll never part with, like a trusty, old camera.In this new mini-series on Above the Fold, Host Kelsey Litchfield asks journalists, photographers, videographers, and podcasters what gear they use to create content—and why it’s not always about the equipment—but how the person behind the camera or microphone is just as important than the gear itself. In Part 1 of "Let's Talk Gear" Willie Vogt, Editorial Director at Farm Progress, discusses the video and audio gear he uses out in the field. He shares tips on how to efficiently gather video and why content matters first—followed by quality video and audio. In this episode, Kelsey and Willie talk through…
