Popular Post Tizeye Posted September 6, 2021 Popular Post Share #1 Posted September 6, 2021 As a follow-on and marketing for the book, I am wanting to start a YouTube channel. Began taking the first of 10 videos that I plan at launch, taking a more indepth look at sites included in the book, plus some I intentionally omitted. While cordial to people I met on the trail, my video rig (less the stand in the photo) was obviously a conversation piece. One lady was walking 2 large dogs and pushing a stroller, and joked with her that the dogs probably wished they were in there and she noted that the 16 y/o collie is good for about a mile then needs assistance. She asked about my video and I told her what I was doing. Her sister bought my book and that is where she learned of this trail, and the first time she was exploring it. Made her day when figured out I was the author. It was an interesting hike! 5 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoseySusan Posted September 6, 2021 Share #4 Posted September 6, 2021 So, tell me about your video set up. Do you wear it, prop it on something, attached to a drone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you wear it, prop it on something, attached to a drone? This was the first time on an extended hike of 2.2 miles. Most have been walking a house. No drone, besides not being allowed many place, some do have good cameras (1" sensor mandatory) but one to lift this camera would be $$$$. THis is an older Ronin M stabilizer that DJI doesn't currently market. Great with the twin handles and upper handle, but may try their current single handle/multiple configuration stabilizer. It is heavy and no strap or sling. Did find a way to weave arm through it to spread the load for transport during the hike. Did turn the motor off when transporting so wasn't fighting me. For the initial video clip at the start mounted on a tripod with smooth video head with shotgun mic as I stood in front with welcome message by the trail entry sign and zoomed in in the map to orientate what to expect. Left tripod in car, but wish I clipped a monopod to my belt for the second camera which was totally handheld. Other audio will be added in post as I dictate a separate audio track discussing the clip. Cameras used were Sony A7rIII (pictured above) with 16-35 lens set around 24. The other camera was wife's Sony A6000 with telephoto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoseySusan Posted September 6, 2021 Share #6 Posted September 6, 2021 Thanks. I’ve been reading/viewing a lot of NM travel and photo blogs and videos. We’re pretty much covered out here! But I still want to launch a blog for my own photos and essays. I like “frozen moments.” 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, the GoPro 8 and 9 do a great job. Also the iPhone 12 Pro models (not mine) are outstanding with internal stabilization. The biggest issue with video is audio. You can get away with marginal quality video, but bad audio is an absolute turnoff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the Classic Editor in Wordpresss to create my blog posts.... I'm a simple gal that likes to focus on words and my photos, not all the software wizardry of Block Editor. Love to see your blog in the big reveal! NM is barely known /visited in Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
