Ruud Elmendorp’s Summary

My name is Ruud Elmendorp and I am a Dutch freelance video journalist traveling the African continent, making reports and documentaries on the way.

For my reports I use the Sony HVR-Z5E. The HD picture is beautiful, and even in low light it's performing well. Editing is done on laptop.

The reports are available for download through my website.

Please be welcome.
