If you’re an active vlogger who films at horse shows, lessons, or around your property, this small-yet-mighty camera is the perfect choice. Additionally, imagine how much peace of mind you’d have being able to see what’s going on inside your trailer during a long (or short) trip. Is everyone happily munching hay? Do you need to pull over? Love Canon? The EOS Rebel T6 a budget Canon camera for you. It takes nice pictures (for the price) and has enough features to make it worth it.

Another really great option for horse people are their rechargeable battery powered or solar-powered cameras. If you don’t have any wires running out to your barn you can still keep an eye on everything. You don’t need ethernet OR electricity. It doesn’t do 4K video, but it still gives you great HD. Other features include night vision, live-streaming, push notifications, and low battery warnings! There is a lot of value to this camera, because it includes all sorts of accessories so that you can mount it to your helmet. The battery lasts ~2 hours and it supports huge memory cards, so you can record a lot of video. You can’t go wrong with the Tadibrothers Horse Trailer Monitor. It’s simple to install, is weatherproof, and includes automatic night vision.

If you’re doing more extreme riding and want a drone to follow you around, it might be time to get yourself the Airdog ADII. This drone was built with sports in mind. The GoPro HERO7 is a useful little camera for vloggers who are just starting out. It takes amazing 4K video and has a neat feature called “HyperSmooth” that provides great stabilization. The catch is you pay per month, either via an annual plan or a month-to-month plan. This does not include the cost of a data plan either.

The problem that it works best when it’s five feet away from the subject. It was designed to be closer to a subject than normal cameras, which is great for filming an interview, but not so great to record your show jumping round. Cons? There are some reported issues with stabilization when zoomed, and autofocus can be a bit off. When you think of a drone, you may think of a completely autonomous flying device. That’s pretty much what the HEXO+ is. It flies itself. It takes off alone, flies around, and films you riding all by itself, and then lands. With accessories, it can work outdoors safely. (It just needs a little protection from the elements.) Note: The audio isn’t the best, it requires a USB port to connect to your computer, and the camera struggles in cold weather.This action camera is one of a series that SJCAM has been making. Like the other newer action cameras on the market it has stabilized 4K video. Another option for horse people is the Saddlebrook BarnCam. They offer both wireless and wired camera systems that can be transmitted to your TV as well as a webcam version.

You can’t go wrong with the Nikon D500 for horse photography. This camera is fast, Fast, FAST. It’s also super quiet. No more spooking those sensitive ponies as they trot around the ring. Again, there’s more set up involved in these cameras, but there are more options for those with internet access. This camera was made with sports and wildlife photography in mind, which is a good way of thinking of horse shows. The cameras can connect to reverse lights or any other standard trailer power source. The monitor can connect to a cigarette lighter or any other standard 12V power source.Note: It’s not a DSLR camera. Most people gravitate toward DSLRs these days due to the superior image quality, but if that’s not a deal breaker you’ll love this one. It simply Velcros on to the underneath of your hat peak or silk peak – yes, you heard it right, Velcro–which means no more horrible straps! It also makes it much safer in case you fall off. It fits 95% of hats currently produced which, when you take into account the number of brands and ranges of hats available, is quite a high percentage! The LCD screen shows one camera or split-screen between two. Plus, it connects to your reverse lights! Q: What’s the best horse riding helmet camera mount?

This GoPro is small and waterproof. Plus, you can hold it by hand or mount it to your helmet or chest with attachments.

Never film around other horses (e.g. trails) that may not be comfortable with drones. You don’t want to spook anyone else’s horse! The DJI Spark is a little mini-drone. It’s cheap, easy to fly, has sensors to avoid collisions, includes built-in camera with stabilization, understands certain hand gestures, and recognizes your face. You can’t talk about action cameras without talking about Sony. The Sony Action Cam FDR-X3000 takes great 4K video, has fantastic stabilization, and you can get a bundle full of all sorts of accessories – like helmet and chest mounts! This camera takes amazing 4K video, has epic stabilization for high-movement filming, features night vision, and has wifi.
