      @@ninakrzyzanskinaturfotografie I got sent the zip-line about 12months ago but never got around to testing it. It really surprised me how fun it was to use and how great the shots came out. I might very well do a dedicated video on the zip-line in the future, I'm curious to see how it would perform with a 360 camera attached so that the framing could be adjusted in post.

    Very useful tips for shots as well as how they can go together. I love the mix and it definitely kept me interested. I can't really answer the question about solo/camera man ... I watch several adventure creators shooting by themselves and always enjoy and then I think about how much work and backtracking they did to get themselves and vehicles etc. into the footage. But while I am watching, if the creator is good, I never think about it :) ... same with this. I knew you were shooting solo but I got intrigued with the sequence.

    I can underline all of your tips. I also use the Wiral lite flying cam, whenever possible, although it is sometimes a pain in the ass to set everything up, if you are traveling alone... Your location for this demo was ideal, because so secluded with nearly no other tourist... But imagine the normal situation, where it is maybe a risk, leaving the 1200$+ iPhone behind you to walk away 20 meters... Good luck 😬🤪

    • @LearnOnlineVideo
      @LearnOnlineVideo  Год назад +3

      Hey @WasmitReisen, I agree, The Wiral Lite flying cam can be a fantastic tool, although it can sometimes be a bit cumbersome to set up, especially when traveling alone. Location choice is key with all of these shots, this location was perfect for demonstration purposes but capturing solo Broll in the city (or any built up areas) is much more challenging. Personally, I would avoid leaving camera gear unattended altogether in busy locations and focus on shots using an extension pole combined with cutaway shots. This would allow you to capture both shots of yourself and your location but still keep all your equipment safe. Thanks for watching.
