Trails of Freedom films back-country cooking techniques in the mangrove
channels of Whitewater Bay in Everglades National Park.
Trails of Freedom doesn’t just produce videos, we experience a location first-hand and return with footage that suggests an intimate relationship with the landscape. We’ve filmed in some of the most extraordinary locations in the United States: Maine’s desolate mountains, Hawaii’s lush forest waterfalls, Florida’s remote mangrove swamps… no terrain is too extreme or too remote for our team. But just as passionate as we are about adventure, so too are we concerned with the simple subtleties of nature and the individuals that work hard to research and protect our natural resources. Our video interviews, for example, open a direct link between the insight of experts and the eyes and ears of receptive viewers.

Trails of Freedom prepares for a frigid sunrise shoot at
Bent of the River Audubon Sanctuary in Southbury, Connecticut.
Our state-of-the-art equipment has been carefully chosen to yield exceptional motion picture footage while remaining exceptionally portable and rugged. Trails of Freedom is always seeking the shots that embody a unique “sense of place”, so our equipment needs to be just as resilient, durable, and mobile as our field production crew.
Sony HDR-XR500V High Definition Camcorders
Sony’s HDR-XR500V offers the perfect blend of quality and portability. Stunning high-definition video at full 1080p, vibrant color reproduction, and a long 12x zoom… all in a compact unit that ensures we can get the shots that count, no matter how rugged or remote the terrain.
ContourHD Helmet Camcorder
Sometimes a “point-of-view”, first-person perspective is the best way to convey a sense of adventure. The ContourHD can be mounted just about anywhere, from a helmet or windshield to a mountain bike or canoe. And wherever its mounted, it sees the world in full 1080p high-definition video with a super-wide angle field-of-view.
