We use a variety of cameras. All video is shot in 4K but frame rate and color depth depend on the platform. Primary cameras are the Sony A7SIII andl A7RV with a variety of lenses usually at 60fps. Next is the Insta360 X3 shot in 5.8K (recently upgraded to the X4 at 8K). However post production reduces the resolution to roughly 4K. We have a couple of GoPros at 4K and 3 drones Mavic 3 Cine, Mavic mini pro 3, and a Mavic Air 2. With most cameras we shoot in log mode and all video goes through manual color grading in post production with the final video being rendered in 4K HDR (HLG format). The HLG format seems to work best with KZfaq. With the Insta360 and GoPro their log format isn’t the greatest so we shoot in HDR and I still tweak the color grading. It’s labor intensive hence we are way behind in getting releasing content. But the quality of the content is very important to us. Thanks for asking!

@@adventurebeyond60 That explains a lot. I have been slowing migrating to 4K but its brutal on my computer hardware, I guess I need to bite the built and spend about 5K on a system that will handle it. I appreciate your detail and explanation

@@BackcountryNomad Yes it takes a lot of horsepower to do video post production. And don't forget to budget for backing up the data!

Thanks very much. We will be back to doing post production work in a couple of weeks when we return from our current adventure.

Hey Dave! Sorry I took so long to get back to you. Big Bend is a beautiful place and there are some great views from Chisos Basin. Great news you will in the AZ and SoCal in January and February. Hope we can connect when you head out!!! Stay in touch!

Always! Thanks Marco!

That is awesome! Its a beautiful place!

Glad it was helpful! Definitely do-able with an offroad trailer. Hope you give it a go!

Thanks I’ll keep that in mind….

Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed the video! Yep, it's a fun beach and a great way to get away from it all.

Thanks so much!

Awesome thanks so much Rob! It was a real pleasure meeting you and Karen today as well. Looking forward to checking g out your channel as well! Hope the sunset photography worked well at White Sands today! Cheers! 🍻

Had a great time in Corpus Christi and out on the beaches. No overloading trips planned for Texas planned for this year...so far.

Thank you very much!

Yep based on what we found in July June was less traveled by others. But last year everyone said "wow this is a rainy June". But at least it was all light rain for the most part. Thanks for watching!

Yes, I realized that after I uploaded the video. But thanks for pointing that out at least someone is listening 😉

Great. Like I said - just watch out for the wind at night 💨

Thanks Chris!

My pleasure - thanks again for watching!

Glad you enjoyed both Chris's and our videos David. You keep getting it done yourself and look forward to seeing you on the air. 73 de W6TED

Good to hear from you Dave. Yeah, the Denali Hwy is just an amazing place. We went back later in the trip to spend one more night out there. Really quiet. Eventually that portion of the trip will be on a released video.

Looking forward to it. I really need to get finishing some videos, if I am ever home to work on them lol! We are currently in the 50th state.

Yeah it's tough finishing content when traveling a lot - but could be worse problems ;-) Have fun in beautiful Hawaii!

Thanks Jim. Glad you enjoyed the video!

Our pleasure. Always glad to hear folks are enjoying the videos!

Thanks for the update on The Slot! Always good to get recent news especially after weather.

Thanks for watching!

I apologize I thought I responded to your question. The animated red lines on the maps are done using Apple Motion. Once you get the line drawn you can keyframe the beginning and the end and when played back it animates the drawing of the line.

@@adventurebeyond60 super many thanks. Excellent vid!

Excellent, glad you are because we have lots more of the Alaska series to come!

Looking forward to more Aaska videos. Rae and Lyne , Snoopy

Thank you so much 😁

I'm not sure since I don't have one. You will probably need to ask Coleman....

😬

That's awesome! We are excited for you! More in the series will be coming out soon (probably next 2 weeks). If you have any questions feel free to contact us.

Thanks Mike! Next one is out tomorrow Friday Oct 27 3:00p PDT. Then it will be a couple weeks for next one beyond that cuz we are traveling next week.

Thanks! I use Apple Motion for all the animated maps. Yeah, I still have a few videos to finish up 😅 But I can't wait to get back out.

@@adventurebeyond60 Here is episode 1 from our Grand Canyon trip two years ago. Better late than never ! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/faykn7uauLi2oX0.html

Thank you! 👍🏼

Thanks so much! Yes, Debbie takes attention to detail to a level we all aspire to 😄. We primarily shoot video with a Sony A7SIII using a variety of lenses. For stills and some video we use a Sony A7RV. We also use an Insta360 X3 for those "looking down on the vehicle shots". GoPro, of course, for some other shots. Drone shots are either a DJI Mavic 3 Cine, Mavic Mini 3 Pro, or a Mavic Air 2. The iPhone gets in there once in awhile too for both video and stills. We struggled with consistent audio for quite awhile. It takes a lot of attention to detail while on location. Have to be sure to use dead cats on the mics always. We use DJI wireless mics most of the time or a Sony ECM-B1M shotgun mic.

We have AT&T but to the best of our recollection there was virtually no service in the Park. We carry StarLink with us which works great in desert areas. Having Big Bend in your backyard is really nice. We didn't have time to check out Big Bend State Park, but it looks awesome as well and I hope we get back there sometime.

Thanks Ernst - I'm not surprised about maps on the wall, we seem to think in the same way many times 😄. Doing post and all the video from the summer I'm really missing the north. Of course I'm sure it's a bit cooler now. Your photo from Blackrock was outstanding 👍🏼. Hope to cross paths again sometime!

Thanks! 👏🏼

Welcome! We are so glad you found it too. Thanks!

Sounds like a great trip! We are thinking about heading back and doing the Dalton Hwy.

Thanks Dave. Glad you enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to pt2 as well!

Thanks! That's just the warm up.

Thanks Dave! Yeah it took me awhile to settle down and get to work on post-production. Hopefully I keep the ball rolling! Looking forward to seeing yours!

The blue spice bag is actually an Arctic Zone "High Performance Lunch Box Pack Cooler". It was an older one that we repurposed for carrying the spices. The individual spice boxes came from Walmart.

Let's work on that!

Yeah I know. Just no time..... <sigh>

Thanks! I kinda liked that one too.

You and me both. Really really miss him. He was a great backcountry companion!

Yeah 15 is way better than having a tent with air pads and separate kitchen. Even with my Gazelle tent which went up and down in minutes the trailer is still quicker.

Dave great to hear from you and that you made it back from Tuk safely. We are back home as well logging 98 days on the road and over 13,000 mi. We, however, won't be heading out soon as I have lots of video to work on in post-production! Hope to run into you again somewhere out there!

Glad you liked it! And, we agree 😄

Ernst & Jiew, very nice to meet you both, many times along our routes! Hope our paths cross again some day. Thanks for the complements on the videos. Hopefully things turn out well when we start work on the Alaska / Canada videos when we return home next month!
