Budget Options for Wildlife Filming and Photography: Fotasy Lens Adapter

In this video I go over the gear I use to film wildlife on a budget and cheap options for anyone looking to start without spending a fortune.
eBay's auctions are great for getting decent gear for a low price.
the Vivitar lens shown in the video cost $20, and you can find them even cheaper quite often. not many older lenses were made in M4/3 for the Panasonic I have but Fotasy makes a cheap but quite durable adapter for any lens. check out some of my other videos to see what these camera setups can do, the panasonic with the vivitar lens, and the canon powershot sx 520, which i picked up used for under $50.

the powershot is better for quick autofocus on objects farther away but the manual lens on the Panasonic does better in a few cases and has more video setting options. no image stabilization however and all the footage in this video is raw so no color grading has been applied.
