A vlogger's USER EXPERIENCE! Sony ZV-1 : DJI Pocket 2 : iPhone 15 : Sony Rx100 i : Why Buy new?
I'm not a video/photography expert. This tracks my learning journey through the various bits of gear I have acquired.
I began my vlogging journey 3 years ago during lockdown. I already owned a Sony ZV-1 so that was my first vlogging camera. I then added a Zhiyun Crane Mark 2 gimbal, before picking up a second hand DJI Pocket 2. When I upgraded my iPhone, that became part of my kit as well. Finally, I still find a use for a Sony RX100 I bought over 10 years ago.

Four free hours in Seoul: What did I do?

I was in Seoul for a conference but had a few free hours, before the conference began, to see some of the sights. I visited Gyeongbokgung Palace, Cheonggyeceheon Park, and Kwangjang Market before heading back to the hotel. Only a taste of Korea, but a fun day!
Singapore Changi Transit Hotel : 8 hour layover : get some sleep between long haul economy flights

I try the Singapore Airlines 787-10 economy class seats. I had flown from Melbourne to Singapore the night before in the A350-900 so it will be interesting to see how the seat comfort compares as the 787 cabin is 12cm narrower than the A350.

This was a Qantas code share flight on Emirates. I had flown to Singapore 4 days earlier on Qantas (see my review). I wasn't very impressed with the Qantas meal service or the old A330 they were running on that route, so lets see how Emirates compare on their 777 300ER.

We were just assigned this cabin on the Enchanted Princess. Looks great.
Ok 4:49 EWR is my home airport, and I've taking so many flights out of there that I probably can't give you an accurate number. In all of my departures, I've NEVER had a flight taxi all the way to the very begging of this runway (22R). We've always departed from the spot that you see all of the others departing from here. I guess this show just how much runway is needed for an A350-1000 ULR considering the amount of fuel that is on board for a 19 hour flight. Guess I now know what to expect when I finally take this flight!
😍Thank you for shooting and sharing the videos, remind me of the good memories at NGV, they always have something new collections every season, I would say Autumn is probably my favorite season with such beautiful leaves
Singapore Airlines Boeing 787-10 flies to Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Newark Airports.
Super informative review. Answered every question about transiting in Delhi and using the transit hotel. Many thanks!
Was there food on the train?
do they provide head phones
Yes, but I always use my own.
How long was the ride, including the stops along the way? Thanks for sharing
About two and a half hours all up.
So if i booked with air india did i get it free?
@@AhmadAnan-no5fk no. You have to pay
How did u access the lounge with an economy class ticket
@@mannaamin I got entry as a Qantas gold member. My flight was a Qantas codeshare flight.
@@cruisingandsnoozing1479 . I understand.
R.I.P. Thai smile :( no more smiles now
I've done that flight twice in the past 12 months and Qantas doesn't impress, particularly around the food offerings. Qantas seems to fall somewhere between a full service airline and a budget airline nowadays.
Hello, thanks for the video! What is the name of the hotel at the airport ?
Holiday Inn Express Delhi Airport
Thank you, you are a life savior. Please keep reviewing! 🙏
Hi how did u feel in rear seat?
I preferred the rear facing seat to the forward facing seat.
What is that red wine brand name
Sorry, can't remember!
Did you need visa for transit? I have 20 hour transit in new delhi, also aus citizen, just tried checking in online and air india is asking for visa. I also booked this hotel for the layover.
Hi there! Will it be possible to order more than one appetizer and/or entree in the coastal kitchen?
Yes on AOS and Oasis were were in suites and we did
Thanks for the video, it is very helpful.
Great observations on the USB-C cable connection, the smell of the loo, and on the really ordinary look (if not so much the taste, I gather!) of economy meals. We're flying QF35 at the end of the month so your vlog is really useful. Thanks!
Have a great trip!
like-really excellent. Cruising-
Thank you!
What gear are you using to film your vlogs?
0:33- so, what exactly is “the lounge”? Is this a business class lounge? Please elaborate.
It's the Qantas International Business Lounge. You can get access if you are a Qantas Club member or One World Sapphire/Emerald frequent flyer.
Thanks for the video about the Fairfield. Interesting to see just what this brand is like in Seoul. Such an unusual hotel room. Not quite enough privacy for two sharing, imho.
Yes, pretty tight for two people for more than one night.
Good report, very enjoyable 👍🏼. You made me hungry though 😆😆
I love Seoul
Superb video! Thank you for details and calming my nerves ❤
Ha! Glad it was of assistance!
The Wife and I tried Qantas 3 Years ago and will never fly with them again. On the A330 they put us in Seat 4 & 5 that where so tight that there was not enough room for our Shoulders to seat back completely. The Flight was from Brisbane to Melbourne. Qantas, no thanks
Did you have to make the reservations every day?
Yes. We were in a Junior Suite so Coastal Kitchen was subject to availability each day. But we didn't have much trouble getting reservations.
Is this Hotel in sity center?
It is in a major shopping strip called Bukit Bintang. About 20 mins walk to Petronas Towers.
@@cruisingandsnoozing1479 thanks alot Bro
Emirates! All the way. But the whinging Qantas customers keep flying them because they use points to buy seats. You know you get budget style on Qantas, so if you want better or actual premium service then fly someone else.
You lost me when you said the prime rib is very nice. We just got off the Ovation and, coming from cattle country in the Midwest USA, the prime rib was an embarrassment to the cow that gave its life to provide it. You never put brown gravy on prime rib, it was sliced garlic to thin, there was little to no seasoning ring and was just plane flavorless. Same with the NY Strip steak. That steak was what I expected from the $2.99 steak and eggs we use to get in Las Vegas.
Been there in 2011
so Singapore airlines seatings and services are no different than some average airlines now. Seating sucks and expensive than most to boot
Thanks for the great video! You mentioned the seats were narrower on the 787-10. Considering everything, did you find the 350-900 or 787-10 more comfortable? I only ask because I'll be catching both to get back to Australia very soon. TIA
I found the 787-10 more comfortable BUT I didn't have anyone in the seat next to me. Both planes are OK though, I wouldn't change my flight itinerary to go on one plane over the other.
@@cruisingandsnoozing1479 Good to know and thank you so much for your response. I'm looking forward to the flights. All the best!
A350 is way more comfortable than a 9-across 787.
Such a beautiful city! Looks very dry while you were there.
The river was very low. Almost 2 years ago now, but some great memories.
Great review mate. I flew the SQ 787-10 from Perth to Singapore and the service was excellent. However the economy seats are quite narrow and have a seat width of 17.5 inches. I felt so uncomfortable there. I also enjoyed the flight entertainment system. The good thing is that there is live TV (where you can watch sport, cnn news, nbc and bbc news.) The flight map screen was good. One improvement that I would like to suggest is that they should have external cameras on the track flight.
Yeah - love the external cameras on Emirates IFE
Excellent video, thanks for sharing ❤🙏
You are so welcome!
Did you only get one meal for the whole flight?
You get a snack served about 1.5 hours before landing as well as the main meal (see 07:02). I haven't seen a second full meal served on a SE Asia to Australia flight for years.
@@cruisingandsnoozing1479 oh yea sorry I skipped that snack part. Pretty much the same as Qantas and Garuda then…
The Air India aircraft looks horrendous , great video though
🤣. Thanks for watching
This is useful info; thanks. I have a 36 hour layover enroute Brisbane to Dublin but the transit hotel only allows a maximum of 24 hours when booking online. I'm wondering about simply changing from one hotel to another for the second night. Or maybe I simply need to make two separate bookings in the same hotel? Do you happen to know how easy it is to get from one terminal to another? It seems each terminal has its dedicated transit hotels. I've tried contacting my airline for assistance but haven't fared well so far.
For a 36 hour layover you definitely want to leave the airport and go into Singapore for the night. I don't believe you are allowed to stay in transit within the airport for longer than 24 hours (not just the transit hotel rules, but the whole airport). Take the opportunity to see a bit of Singapore. If you don't want to go into the city, you could also stay at the Crown Plaza at the airport. You will need to clear immigration. There is also the Yotel in The Jewel (shopping mall) at the airport, but for 36 hours I would recommend the Crown Plaza Changi.
@@cruisingandsnoozing1479 actually, I did receive a reply from one of the airport hotels offering a reservation for a solo room for 38 hours, but with a shared bathroom and a pretty hefty rate.....so am taking your advice and heading land side.
For 36 hours layover at Changi Airport, you can get a free tour of Singapore organised by Changi Airport and you need to register first. You can either stay at Yotel and explore Jewel and Changi Airport has a lot to offer than just a airport.
Great Video , we are considering of booking this place for our first visit. Was the food expensive in the hotel restaurants?
Yes, quite pricey in the hotel restaurants, but very cheap (and good) in the adjacent village. I think we only ate the one evening meal in the hotel.
@@cruisingandsnoozing1479 Thanks for the great tip!
Wow 6 flights in 18 months, lucky you. Great informative review thank you!
I've stayed here but for 8 hours I'd stay at the Crowne Plaza
How do they make sure you don't oversleep?
They will give you a wake up call.
We stayed there last year both to and back from Japan
Great review, thank you. I have two long transits in July and August, so was looking to stay. I will now thanks to your review.
Glad it was helpful! Have a great trip.
Great video!
Several others have attempted to do this video however yours was very clear, concise & exactly the information I was looking for my upcoming trip . Thanks
Great video. Loved the music. How long was the flight? You’re normally in biz class, what happened?😊
Only a 5.5 hour flight so just the single meal service. I do my fair share of economy class travel. Usually only get to go business if I have the points or if someone else is paying!!
