    3 Moab, Utah - Hurrah Pass & Chicken Corners - BLM Off-Roading

    Definitely make a point to go back. For no good reason, it took me 25 years despite the huge impression it had on me at the time.

    3 [FPV] Mountain Surfing at a Swiss Mountain Pass

    Well, take my opinion with a grain of salt. FPV is a bit different and I generally don’t like to crop a sensor when you can easily crop in post. I love the look of FPV. Gotta add one to the fleet.

    3 Moab, Utah - Hurrah Pass & Chicken Corners - BLM Off-Roading

    Moab is the gateway to the big 5 National Parks of the Southwest; Zion, Arches, Canyonlands, Bryce and Capital Reef. But, there are also state parks, BLM land, etc. Moab and Southern Utah in general has something for everyone. Climbing, hiking, mountain & road biking, rafting & speed boating...

    3 Moab, Utah - Hurrah Pass & Chicken Corners - BLM Off-Roading

    There are a whole variety of vehicles on those trails. Depends on how much dirt you want in your teeth and nostrils. I rented a modded Jeep Rubicon and rode my 60yo a$$ in comfort. Of course, there are some extremely challenging trails around Moab if that’s what you’re into, but my interest is...

    3 [FPV] Mountain Surfing at a Swiss Mountain Pass

    I see. When you capture in 8:7 aspect ratio, you feel like you’re cutting off important parts of image. If you captured in 16x9, you wouldn’t think about what you cropped out. IMHO, what you’ll notice is that, from a composition perspective, there’s a lot of sky and the bottom of the frame is...

    3 Moab, Utah - Hurrah Pass & Chicken Corners - BLM Off-Roading

    The early explorers obviously had many challenges navigating the Southwest, which likely tempered their perspective of the vast awe-inspiring landscapes of the area, especially the Colorado River Basin. Here's a link to my photos (nearly every photo in Moab is a pano). - Moab, Utah - Oct. 2023...

    3 Exploring Iceland - South West

    Once again Maik, every one of your videos are the highest standard we can aspire and hope to achieve. Iceland is right up at the top of my list of travel destinations. A cheap flight and quick hop from DC, I need to get there soon.

    Great flying. Awesome locale. I think I’d prefer the full field of view. I like the color grading.

    3 Moab, Utah - Hurrah Pass & Chicken Corners - BLM Off-Roading

    It's been nearly 25 years since my first and only visit to Moab, Utah. So long in fact, a that time I was using a film camera (before DSLR/Mirrorless cameras). This time, I was better equipped with my trusty Sony a7r2, Mavic 3 Classic and 2 cameras mounted to the hood and windshield to capture...

    3 Oslo, Norway - August 2023

    Well, I can’t please everyone. I don’t think any of my videos are that great. I was only in Oslo for a day, visited a lot of sites, parks, building interiors and museums doing mostly photography. Sightseeing with wife and another couple, I didn’t have much time for flying. You’ll notice that in...

    Yes, I tried to fly over trees and grass and off-center from walkways, but there was a shot or two...

    Air 2 SeaScape & Diamond Beach, Mid North Coast, NSW, Australia.🇦🇺

    Filming Sunrise and Sunset are challenging to capture well, but can yield epic shots. I'll typically shoot an hour or two before sunset and save a battery in the event it's a good sunset. I like your moves and speed ramping, filtered clip transition at the beginning. Very nice. I'd encourage you...
