    Hey Paul, excellent video as usual. One tip though, don't do inonimate tarn again unless you like being flooded out. That place floods in slight drizzle, or 1mm of rain lol. I've done it three times, been completely flooded twice and the last time I went there had my tent completely destroyed by wind and rain that wasn't forecast, and it had been a lovely summers day. That place wrecked my mates new Hilliberg, and they are supposed to be bomb proof. Never again!

      Hi there! Thanks for the comment and glad you enjoyed the video!
      That was actually Paul's iPhone that I was holding at the river, I shot this video on a Panasonic GH6. Then I coloured graded the footage after.
      However I do often go for lightweight options of iPhone or GoPro, here is a video I mostly shot on my iPhone 13 pro (same one Paul has): ruclips.net/video/225Bsfk-t4o/видео.html
      If I'm shooting with my phone I use Filmic Pro for the best quality footage and then yes colour grade afterwards.
      I vary my filming styles depending on what I'm making a video about, or if I can be bothered carrying heavy kit or not.

    I was kinda assuming that those camping guys would be better at choosing their campsite, and not wind up with a small stream running throught their tent. Then again: besides being very pretty, the Lake District is also very wet and boggy! The aerial footage was stunning Stephen, despite (or maybe thanks to) the gloomy sky. Decades ago, I (from the Netherlands) cycled up Honister Pass, well ... pushed my bike up there LOL More of the same at Wrynose and Hardknott Pass! Man, there are some very, very steep and narrow roads in the Lake District!

    Just started watching and had to pause to comment. I have to say I'm only a few minutes in and really quite impressed with the video quality of your camera as well as the editing. Most hikers I watch are UL hikers and understandably use smaller cameras like GOPro, phones mini DV cams etc and although they're still high quality they're leagues behind this. It's nice to see the Lakes shot like this. Super high quality and cinematic style.
    Have you ever done the WHW rail? It would be awesome to see that recorded like this. I'm going again in July. I may have to hire you lol
    [edit] After continuing to watch I think some sort of gimbal would be a good edition to your setup. Not a complaint, Just giving some constructive feedback :)

    • @StephenJReid
      @StephenJReid  2 года назад

      Thanks very much Adam 🙂 Most of my videos do probably take that more lightweight approach, but I'm a full-time commercial filmmaker and decided I want my RUclips to reflect that better so for these camping/adventure videos I'm trying to take a more cinematic approach.
      I've done zero hiking in Scotland, although I will be there a couple of times this year, but for holiday/ running a mountain race.
      I do plan on making video across more of UK & Ireland. Had plans in 2020, but then covid, so I'm only getting going again now.
      I use gimbals for commercial work but would be very unlikely to use for a video like this. They add a lot of hassle and slow things down a lot and are heavy to carry. For this trip if I had brought a gimbal I would have had to leave behind something else.
      Not ruling it out, just would need to be the right project with lots of time.
