      @@kraigadams Hey Kraig! Yeah, it would be nice to meet you. I'm from California. Next year(2024) I plan to do a fair amount of hiking in the Pacific Northwest and California. Maybe we can hike a section of trail in that part of the world sometime. Take care.

    I'm split about the Sony A7SIII vs iPhone thing. You know so much about running your activities as a business. For me what differentiates you from other creators is a) your talent and craft as a filmmaker and b) your honesty. I'm not a gamer and I ain't got time for the super long-form stuff you do, though I'll play a Q&A post when I'm doing some mindless work. I'm here mostly for the hiking and the filmmaking.
    Your shots show so much craft and good judgement and your films just... look better than most other people's stuff. You're kind of like Phillip Bloom in that way (his channels are WAY different than yours) but his image quality just dominates like yours does. IMHO your iPhone footage shows all of your judgement and experience ("craft") but the image quality is JUST a bit off compared to your drone stuff. BTW, your drone cinematography is just the best. Along with everything else your composition sense with a drone is just... MWAH (chef's kiss). The secret sauce is... talent and experience, maybe. Anyway--balancing image quality vs. complexity and pack weight is a conundrum. I've got a trek coming up and I keep looking at my mirrorless thinking "do I REALLY need this?"

    Stunning video! One of my favorites of yours lately. I thought the pacing was especially on point. Characteristically meditative and relaxing, while also featuring a wide variety of emotional beats and cuts to different kinds of subjects; watched the entire video in one go and never for a moment wanted to alt-tab (which, unfortunately, has become a bad habit of mine as of late).

    There was nothing wrong with the iPhone + Drone videos - they looked great and I bet that a lot of viewers wouldn't notice if you didn't tell them. Composition and environment is a big part of this, and you're really good at setting that up regardless of camera. You gotta do what makes you happy!
