➡️ If you're new here: hi, I'm Katherine from the United States 🇺🇸 I've been living in China 🇨🇳 for 5 years and after having graduating from my masters program in environmental engineering at Nanjing University, I am now working at an environmental organization called Green Zhejiang.

This video was filmed with a combination of 2 different cameras, GoPro Hero 11 (selfie/widescreen shots) and Sony ZV1 (pretty much everything else)

This camera is the secret to how I get such stable footage even while biking and walking 🚴‍♀️ She's waterproof, shoots in 4K, and is very tiny and portable as well as extremely easy to use
SONY: https://amzn.to/3RybfiU
This camera is my B-roll queen, she nails the perfect lighting and focus to get beautiful shots to bring my videos to the next level 📷
