Hey my friends, I'm so glad you could join me on this one. I feared this video may not be received well lacking drone footage.
I think Dale really nailed it, a very special place few will ever see OR want to risk seeing so I'm happy to oblige. I used the One R, 360's modular older version of the One x2, very similar cameras. The "invisible selfie stick" is just a gimmick and any stick will work as long as the camera's 2 lens seams are aligned with the stick. You can see the 10' selfie stick a bit when it bends enough to get outside of the "seam" where the 2 sides of the camera lenses views meet at the seam. . . I am running back for the camera on all 3rd person static shots but, it's not too bad. With the DJI
Pocket 2 I can literally drop my selfie stick into a bush, the gimbal levels itself and I compose the shot wirelessly on my phone. . . pretty slick. My go pro has a mini tripod built into the selfie stick with ball head mount, real unstable but plenty good if I put a rock on the tripod's leg. The legs are short and low to the ground.
Climbing down less then vertical is not to bad since you can see footholds without leaning way out. On overhangs it's more crazy but then the hand holds are bigger and that helps to look. On tricky down climbs I remember how I came up and reverse, that makes it quite doable. . . still the hardest part.
While I love sharing my videos, a lot! I make them as a scrap book of my adventures and I make them as long as I need to have those special memories of all the things I never want to forget. I think my loyal fans want to see the nitty gritty too. Easy enough to just click ahead anyway. . . . I do cut and combine clips as much as I can. . . Thank's again my brothers and I can guarantee there WILL BE EPIC DRONE FOOTAGE! on my next adventure and "Wholly Mollie," was it an adventure, especially the the final part of the climb, fairly safe though. . .
I am not at all afraid of height but VERY afraid of falling. . .
My buddy's son was the youngest of the victims of that needless shooting, 20 years old and a very sweet gentle person. I was in shock and angry for quite awhile, including during this trip when I started to think of how special life is and then remembering what happened. . . .
