@@frithjofvanzyp9452 nice, enjoy it!

@@donpeleas4780 well, I guess I'm the perfect example of how you are incorrect. For what I do and want to achieve, the Hero 13 suits me the best.

@@CcCracker it is a small resort compared to a lot of places Europe and the USA. The mountain is only 1,308m tall. What it doesn't have in elevation/terrain, it more than makes up for it in pow. You just have to shift your expectations.

Yeah, I tried that and it's great. The issue is using FX reframe plugin to then squish it into a 16:9 frame is super load intensive on my computer. Rendering then takes like 10x longer which is not what I want. So, I just shoot it in Max Hyperview so the footage is already in the correct 16:9 aspect ratio for YT. Then I use FX Reframe to undo Hyperview for my YT/Insta/Tiktok content which is also load intensive on my laptop. But at least then I'm only rendering out 30-60 second clips rather than a 30-minute video.

@@chrisbarnett4542 appreciate that man! If I'm free I'm always keen to meet new people!

Haha actually forgot I left that in there. Had to be done!

Yeah I was told today that this is finally a "normal season" by someone who has been here for years.

Yes, very true. But nothing beats having lunch with the fam and being asleep on the couch by 2pm because I ate too much.

@@BlaizeKelly yes, we agree, having a white Xmas is lovely, but wish all the fambam were able to be here with us.

Thank you, just sharing my own personal experience. I couldn't find any specific ski related videos so thought I'd be the one to make one.

Appreciate you!

This was actually mostly in Hanazono. I started in Hirafu but as that's where I'm living this season.

Haha man, I wouldn't say it's easy being me either. Somewhere in the middle for sure. Making these videos is a lot of work, but I do really enjoy it. Not complaining by any means, I'm extremely fortunate and I'm trying to make the most of it. My skis are the 2024 Whitewalker 116's in the 185cm length. Highly recommend them if you're looking for a dedicated pow ski and will maybe need to ride a few groomers/crud on them. I actually ride them all season here, even in the spring slush. There are definitely better groomer/slush skis out there for sure, but these honestly do it pretty well for a 116 under foot. It just doesn't make sense for me financially at the moment to own another set of skis, so I just rock them all season. I work remotely for an Australian company back home. I basically deal with all of their product data and some other backend stuff. Quite boring to most people, but I find it quite fulfilling and it allows me to be over here 3-5 months a year.

@@madvillain1987 haha it will man!

@@BlaizeKelly last season we arrived right after a few unseasonably warm days with rain. It took about 3-4 days for the powder to fill back in.

@@madvillain1987 yeah that's kinda unlucky to happen in Feb. Hopefully won't happen this season but who knows.

@@tomf3290 This has been the most snow in December in over 20 years. So it's not always this much but its still a lot even on the average years.

​@BlaizeKelly that is fucked man! Going to france next week and they have some, but nothing on what you have 😢

Thank you man! I hope you had a lovely Christmas too.

@@dumercqmaxime5114 thanks bro!

@@brookscurran yeah I know that about the Max. I just can't bring myself to buy one considering how old they are and with the Max 2 being rumoured... I will almost definitely get a Max 2 unless it turns out to be a massive flop somehow.

@@GeorgeLomax-z6v oi not a bad shout

@@andreasgeorgiadis7202 Hey man, I appreciate the kind words! I work remotely for a company back home in Aus. I'm quite lucky as they allow me to live between Aus and Japan. But I do put in the hard work to make sure I go above and beyond my role so I can keep doing this.

@@quintessential_21 ye boi

Haha yeah, I mean these aren't really that secret in this video. Pretty common areas really. I do get heaps of DM's on social media asking for more specific stuff which is more so what I was addressing.

Yeah, I had a shit experience with my last GoPro honestly so hoping it doesn't happen with this one. So far so good honestly though, I'm actually really impressed. I did only just find out the Osmo 5 has a wider lens to increase the FOV. That would have seriously changed my thoughts if I knew that before buying the GoPro. There is still something about the footage a GoPro produces though. I don't know if I've just been conditioned into liking it over the years, or it actually looks better. I really can't put my finger on it, but I do prefer it.

I haven't got the magnetic mount. I'm pretty sure it was the one I got with the shorty pole.

@@kriosgr I completely get what you're saying and do agree in certain aspects. Regardless of how you shoot on the Insta360, whether it's in 16:9 to reduce post-processing or in 360 mode and use their software to frame it, I still personally think GoPro footage looks better anyway. We are two different people though and are allowed to have different opinions. That's the beauty of it.

@JudePhilipp Merry Christmas to you too

@@KSAEXPO25 I feel you too homie!

Legend, thank you!

@@papadiamea7330 it's Japan homie. No wolves over here...

Yeah I do agree with you that GoPro's app's suck. I was disappointed to find that out after I bought my Hero 13. That being said, I use Adobe Premiere for everything and so far I have really been loving using the Hero 13. This is obviously very specific to my exact use case of the camera. I'd imagine most people wouldn't use it in the same fashion as me.

@@Jack-q8q6b make sure you say hello if you do!

@@federicomarocco7512 yeah I really rate the quality of video the Max's produce. Just couldn't bring myself to buy one considering how old they are and the possibility of a Max 2 in the near future. Will probably cop one when they release it.

@@YaoJC haha you weren't with the group of people offering us free Christmas shots were you?

@ nah but still always a nice surprise to see the big man in person on Christmas 👍

@@YaoJC haha legend!

@@Loveofpowder Merry Christmas

@@Loveofpowder adrenaline at max values 😅

This is Sasa that I'm hitting in this video homie, which is a type of bamboo grass. It's fully grown and extremely resilient.

@@L3V3L legit had to hold myself back from saying it like that 😅

@@richardadavis7195 It really is man! Nothing else matters when you're knee deep in pow!

@Raath_ hopefully you weren't on the naughty list this year then!

It really depends what you're editing it for. If you just want to make some Instagram Reels/Shorts, then I'd say the Insta360 on the phone app is simple as. You can also turn it into Landscape footage too from their app. If you're wanting to make UA-cam videos like I do, I personally find it easier to work with GoPro footage because it's already shot in the aspect ratio I need for YT.

@ got it. Thanks

It's the same mount between GoPro and Insta360. I can chuck either one on, just the Insta360 doesn't do 120fps.

@@aaronmts1 haha I'm doing my best. Hard work finding time to edit when I'm just spending all day on the mountain 😅

@ Don’t blame you at all for doing that! Haha Pow has that power 😂

get keen!

Ski pow and dodge sasa grass?

@@s_p_12331 From the research I did, the DJI is a better camera in every way except for the max Field of View achievable. I think you'll love it. It just won't be as wider FOV as you see in my vids as far as I'm aware.

@@BlaizeKellythere is a boost lens mod for Action 5 pro, but it doesn’t have horizon lock as far as I see…

@@issambres ah this is interesting to know. I don't use Horizon Lock on my Hero 13 so could be a good option for the Action 5.

@@BlaizeKellyI wait for this lens since it is out of stock…

Yew!

@@KimbalKamui yeah the benefit of Insta360 is it's extremely hard to fuck up the shot. I just got kinda lucky with where I was able to put the sticky mount and the angle of the new clip on part. Once its pushed all the way back it just happens to be in an almost perfect position.
