Your work is becoming more crafted and less documentary, I really like it. The emotive sound track kept me in the dream. Go you good thing. HESR.

You were very, very fortunate to get such a clear view on top of Ben Nevis, it is well known for having its head up in the clouds. It’s a phenomenal view up there. Your efforts were rewarded..... if you like a wee bit of scrambling, and stunning views, consider the Cuillin Ridge on the Isle Of Skye.....

Professional filming, interesting and appealing flow in the editing. I actually like you breaking the fourth wall, adds a bit of self-consciousness to the vid and serves as an acknowledgment that this is made by a human being. Answering your question, no, Mt. Whitney is (of course) the Ben Nevis of the USA!

Hello Darwin, You need to put your shutter at 180°. If you cannot set it directly in your camera, you just have to put it 2 times your fps. For example, if you shoot at 30fps, your shutter should be at 1/60s. It will naturally smooth your footage. Because when you pan, it "stutters" a lot. Sorry for my bad English, cheers from France ! :)
