Feel free to be brutally honest... I’m trying to learn and improve.
Thanks!

Impressive, all the way around.
Oh, and the drone video wasn't bad either! LOL!

Great demonstration of the Mavic 4 Pro tracking ability for solo hikers, along with the compression of the background using the 6x telephoto.

Carrying the controller in your hand so casually over such rough terrain made me a little nervous. One minor slip and fall, and no functioning controller, and a $3,000 drone hovering over a rocky substrate with no safe place to land.

Well done!

I presume you had Dynamic Home Point turned on, in case of any mishap?

Haha, nah, it just looks a lot more dangerous than it really is. I’ve done a ton of hiking and never lost my balance.
And yeah, totally agree with you about having a good "partner” for solo hikes... it does the job perfectly.
This clip’s from before the firmware update to v01.00.0200 though (this also answers your question about the dynamic HP), so the moves weren’t as smooth as they are now.
You might’ve noticed the kinda “robotic” drone motions.

Anyway, really appreciate the comment!
Just curious; do you think it’s weird that I show myself so much in the videos? Like, more than half the time it’s me on screen... does that come off as trying too hard? (I just wanted to inspire people to start hiking)

Not at all weird, or coming off as trying too hard.
It's your escape, documented by your accompanying partner cinematographer, sharing your climb, the views, the experience, and the exhilaration of reaching the summit.

What Gadget Guy said.

During the video I was asking myself, who built the really nice cabin and for what reason. What is the red building on top? Fire lookout, bathroom, or??

I got to live vicariously through your adventures. Thanks for posting, I enjoyed it.
