I do not know specifically, but I know that what he uses cost probably over $1,000. I have a $400 Canon powershot g9x mark ii, and it can take some nice video of ants, but not as nice as his. You can see my videos here:https://forum.AntsCanada.com/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=26323
Why keep ants that aren't found in your yard?
There are so many fascinating ants right where you live!
I disagree with the keeping/buying of ants that aren't in your area.

Well, as far as cameras go, that is the low end.

It's so easy for USA and UK people to find ants as it rains a lot
Did you know it only rains about 25 days a year for UAE

Wow, that's really dry. Hopefully there are some people from your area that can give you tips on catching queens in dry environments.

Or if you cannot find any you might look into the GAN project. Also I believe that AntsCanada uses some 4k camera but other than that I don´t know, you probably already knew that.
C. Novaeboracensis (my favorite ant
C. Pennsylvannicus x2
Tetramorium Immigrans x2

Ya, It is 4k, and specifically for macro.
