Since Ultimate Adventure's inception in 1998, video and photography has played a huge role in the event's exposure. Over the years, video has progressed from VHS tapes to DVDs to YouTube and Motor Trend's own streaming service. On the still photography side, the photos creatively and intricately detail the UA action.

The Ultimate Adventure video crew and still photographers are more than just hired guns. They're part of the UA family, and they work hard to cover this event, which is really as much about the family-like social aspect as the awesome action. Normally, the UA video director actually creates the videos, but this year they handed off their hard-won footage to the Motor Trend Studios, which cut and created the UA 2021 videos.

We thank the videographers and still photographers for their dedication. These folks spend most of their time on UA hiking on the trail, not seeking glory behind the wheel, but rather hidden behind the lens doing hard work that documents all the incredible Ultimate Adventure action.

VIDEO CREW OFFROAD

CAMERON I APPRECIATE YOU HOTCHKISS

For Ultimate Adventure 2021, Cameron Hotchkiss returned as video director. Cameron is an off-road enthusiast who loves the outdoors. He's heavily into mountain biking, skiing, surfing, hiking, overlanding, and making movies about all of the above. Cameron has been on Ultimate Adventure at least five or six times, including his first when he got very dehydrated. When properly hydrated, Cameron is always on the hunt for the next killer shot and is good at keeping the camera crew moving despite the long hours and brutal conditions.
