      That sounds a like a mission! Solid effort to carry in all that material. It's a great area.

    If your mic is external to the camera try tying a bit of cloth over it in windy conditions as this can help reduce that annoying wind sound. you will have to talk a bit louder. Gotta love the the Kawekas and deer out in the open. thanx for the video

      Cheers man! I have a cheap ext mic that I was using but the results weren't much better, will definitely look into sorting it out, thanks for the tip!

    Absolutely awesome - thanks for sharing that one, what a beauty of a spot, will have to head there one day soon, keep talking about going the kawekas. Good one filming the hinds, would of been tempting to pop that last one off eh ;)
    I use the Rode Shotgun mic with the fluffy cat over it to combat the wind. Hope that helps.
    Keep it up.

    Cool vid buddy...how'd you find the tracks/routs ext....well marked or bit of tricky navigation??

    • @nikmaxwell
      @nikmaxwell  5 лет назад +1

      Hey mate, glad you enjoyed the vid. The tracks are all very well marked and their is plenty of open terrain to assist with any off track navigation.

      You could go either Kaweka J, Mackintosh Spur or The Lakes Car park mate. All involve a bit of a climb but not too bad! When you thinking of heading in?!

      @@DS-zp9vv Good stuff! You could go to Middle Hill or Makino Hut area and bush stalk those areas. For the more open stuff, you'll need to tackle the main range.
