Leftovers for sure, but a crazy huge 4:34 line on FRIDAY? . I hope they paid you to ski down that. On the other hand, it is end of May. It's probably 100 degrees in Phoenix.

Ahhh I thought that Lower falls were Lower and Upper LOL And after I flew back home realized that upper falls are further up. Where is the trail there?
@vander90032 ай бұрын
A little north of the trail to Ribbon Falls there is a route up the slope that gets you above the falls. Then you follow that stretch back until you’re back at the creek. Beautiful spot!

Excellent! Is that easy to set up filming wise??
@vander90032 ай бұрын
With go pro it has a built in timelapse mode where you can set everything up pretty easily. The main thing to think about is how long you want it to record for. I usually run it at a rate of taking a photo every 5 seconds. 1 frame every 5 seconds means it takes 150s to get 30 frames. That’s 1 second of timelapse video for every 2 min 30 sec recording timelapse. 10 seconds of video requires 25 mins of recording. 15s needs 37:30 30s needs 75 mins And so on. You also have the flexibility to record at different rates, but just do the math and it’s easy to figure out.

I don’t have first had experience with the side dial. It’s a different style that releases via a T6 tool into a central hole it looks like. BOA has repair kits and guides that you can look at here tho. www.boafit.com/en-us/support/repair-guides And you can send them a picture of your broken gear to get replacement or spare.
