Awesome tips for sure! 1. Find your style (360 all the time, or slow motion for example) 2. Select your shots, think about how you want to shoot and utilize the footage first, and stay steady 3. Bridge the gap (what’s the story in your travel vlog?) 4. What will save you the most time: use a timer in editing your videos!

Mate not filming everything is by far the most important tip! Travel filmmakers can easily get lost in forgetting to actually be present and travel. There's certain times when batteries are flat and when your gear isn't around you, and I think that happens for a reason! No need to rush back and get another camera, just leave it and live out the adventure! The right moments will present themselves to be on! and you're camera will be there. Thanks for sharing Thomas, love your work

Both is not that great I think because if you have a lot of random people you can't really tell a story that's going to be Interessent the whole video but I also have no camera man to film me and the dudes I travel with are not that interested in film so any Tipps? I'm really struggling with this...
