    Hot-Air Balloon Down Under

    It's been slightly over one year since I last posted a video. I was out one morning a couple of weeks ago running down my batteries after a 3-month hiatus from flying. Anyway, here's my contribution.

    Baringa Farm Stay - Reidsdale, New South Wales, Australia

    I've been editing over 16 years. It's purely a hobby and by no means am I an expert. Self taught over that time through youtube tutorials mainly. You could possibly achieve a similar result wide the standard lens set to medium and then remove the fish-eye in post. I'll never get tired of your...

    Baringa Farm Stay - Reidsdale, New South Wales, Australia

    Here's a promo video of a friend's property that I filmed last month. It's called 'Baringa Farm Stay' and it's located in Reidsdale, New South Wales, Australia. I think the video captures the tranquil beauty of the property with Monga National park right on its doorstep! It's popular location...

    Gimbal protector

    I've never used the foam block ...and to this day, two and a half years later, my gimbal operates perfectly. So IMO I say no need!

    Questions about 3.8mm lens install

    You will notice pink corners with the 3.8mm lens from time to time. I eliminate pink corners in pos using Final Cut Pro X. I downloaded the "post-fix" from here. 4.35mm Lens Mod for GoPro Hero 4 The "fix" is a jpeg overlay for the 4.35mm lens that is utilised in post. It works exceptionally...

    Questions about 3.8mm lens install

    3D Printing of Solo parts

    Well done. The legs look great! Don't feel bad about the Rugby and Cricket! It doesn't concern me too much as my first love is football (soccer). BTW, South Africa, I love the place! I was there on holidays 21 years ago. Some of South Africa's landscape reminded me so much of Australia...

    3D Printing of Solo parts

    I bought these exact ones from a guy off of eBay. He 3d printed them himself. Clearance for the gimbal is more than adequate. The DIY 3d print is here: 3dr Solo leg extensions by L5MEDIA BTW, if you carry your Solo in the 3dr Back Pack made by BPC, you will need to make a small but simple...

    Australia is great, except for....

    I too from Oz paid $3K for my Solo adventurers pack in August 2015 and I have no regrets paying that amount at the time. However over the course of the year, I eventually found that I could and did purchase spare parts for my Solo at very good prices through Amazon (new gimbal) and eBay (new...
