      Camera is Canon EOS R5 mirrorless.... have been a photographer myself on the second profession... so sold our DSLR 5D mark IV and got mirrorless which makes amazing photos and videos...
      Next Wireless GO Rode will be upgrading it to mark ii.
      Go pro hero 9
      And good old Samsung S10+ and new S21 Ultra
      Got DJI RS2 Pro combo

      @BigOzExplorers  3 года назад

      Hey Paul, if we were 100% thumbs up all the time we’d have no room to improve. 😉 There is always someone who is unhappy. You can’t please everyone and if you try to, you end up pleasing no one. We don’t take the thumbs down personally and have generally speaking, grown a thick skin for any keyboard heroes we encounter. We love what we do and so do the majority of our audience so we won’t change a thing for a few Debbie downers. 🥰🙌🏻

    Great episode with very informative content. With so much video and camera footage, what storage solutions are you using. Wondering how to store so much data and also share access with family members. Appreciate any thoughts/ experience as to how you have conquered data storage. Thanks

      We just use 4TB portable hard drives. Easiest way to access anything at any moment. Sometimes we are off grid and don’t have phone service so using a cloud type service wouldn’t work!

    Hey! We have the same Sony lenses lol... Where did you find your uv & polarised lenses? Every one that I've found doesn't screw on and doesn't fit properly (all ebay spec).
    Awesome video, heaps of information.. Those lil dji go cameras seem cool, it's good that you can use external audio, I use the rode wireless go system, so it's good to see that the dji has that compatibility. I've tried to avoid gopro as much as possible to where I actually record with my Samsung galaxy and just use a mobile phone gimbal.
    Cheers for the episode! Glad I finally had enough time to watch an episode early.
    Cheers & beers

      Hey Eehan,
      We got ours from Camera Warehouse in a store, they were super helpful with everything and anything and we’re able to order in anything they didn’t have. I didn’t even realise there was a thread at the end of the lens until she told us 😂
      I remember looking into the Rode wireless system but I think at the time you could only have one mic and we wanted two? Saramonic is not as readily available in Australia so I had to order the set from overseas but it is good to get the two lots of audio 😁
      We avoid GoPro now as well unless action camera related. We use our phones for mainly images and try not to video on them if we can help it (even through they’re supposed to give equivalent videos)
      Cheers for tuning in and sorry for the late the reply! 🤟🏻

    Fantastic information and ideas. You are doing a great job just being you. We love your episodes. Quick question- how do you improve audio with a go pro? Can you get a microphone to attach? We are trying to use ours more but the audio is frustrating me. As it’s either not clear or wind interference.

    • @BigOzExplorers
      @BigOzExplorers  3 года назад +1

      Thanks Cover! Ok so, GoPro 8 has the ability to use a Media Mod which is an outer casing with a built in shotgun mic both front and back. It’s not too bad but if it’s really windy, it doesn’t make much difference at all. We ended up attaching a Rode mic directly to the go pro media mod and it lived on there with a dead kitten all the time (wind cancelling fluffy thing lol)… The Media Mod makes the camera not waterproof though as you have to take off your side door on the GoPro to use it but the media mod makes the GoPro compatible with an external mic, catch 22. We used to have that one for vlog recording and a second one for water/action shots/b roll stuff.

    Good advice. Go pro I have had for ages. Probably need to update. Any suggestions there? I don't think I would make a RUclips video, just content for our life memories so wouldn't need much other than a go pro?
    Loved that dome you mentioned for the go pro water shots and three suction mount.
    Heaps of great information in that video, very informative. Loved it.
    I see you attracted some thumbs down. Not sure why, you can always not watch it or post constructive feedback?
    Anyway have fun! Thanks again. 👍

      I feel like you may have answered your own question there! Maybe the latest gopro would be the best update? The 9 is pretty fandangle with the screen on both sides 😍 it really depends if your planning on using it around water, for videos, photography… there are just so many options!
      As for thumbs down, don’t worry about it, we don’t! You can’t please everyone and not everyone wants to make a comment if there is a negative thing to say! The joys of RUclips 🙃

To fly FPV you need to be a member of a model aircraft assc. with approval to fly FPV, or apply to CASA for approval to fly FPV recreationally or apply to casa to fly with Extended VLOS commercially. For VLOS you must be able too see the drone in the air with your own eyes.
