Borneo Rainforest Hikes & Waterfall Swim : Travel Vlog 63

It's my first full day in Borneo, Kuching, Malaysia to be exact; and I've was invited to join a group hike at Bako National Park. There are 16 hiking trails in the park and we chose one that had monkeys (silvered leaf and proboscis monkeys) and an incredible view from a secluded beach. For my first night, we went to get food at the Kuching Waterfront and ended up watching the Musical Fountain (a nightly water and light show). We ended up eating at McDonald's and a I had a Durian McFlurry.
The next morning, we had to Kubah National Park for another hike. This time we hike the Waterfall Trail to its waterfall. The hike was fun and exhausting, which made the rewards of swimming in the waterfall so satisfying. I ended my second day in Kuching by visiting the night market to get some street food.

CAMERA & AUDIO EQUIPMENT I USE:
Primary Camera: GoPro Hero 8 Black (7 Black for this video) ► amzn.to/2XYwrEe
Secondary Camera: Apple iPhone XS Max ► amzn.to/2B35lD2
Microphone: Rode VideoMicro ► amzn.to/2XV87Di
Mic Adapter: GoPro 3.5mm Mic Adapter ► amzn.to/2Yus8Q5
REASONING: It's taken me some time to figure what I need to make the travel videos I like. I've not had any photography or videography training; so I've not gotten into higher end mirrorless or full framed cameras. I try to keep my equipment as simple as possible. 85% of the time, I film with my GoPro Hero 8 Black, and I recently began using the Rode VideoMicro for my audio, which I use to record voiceovers as well. Occasionally I use my iPhone XS Max to change things up or when an extra camera is needed.

REASONING: I enjoy using GoPro cameras. The GoPro Hero 5 Black was my first action camera and liked the ease of using it. It also helps that it's rugged and can take a beating. I'm not too good with fragile things and lots of cameras are fragile; not to mention expensive. And those are the reasons why I began using it instead a traditional camera. Since then, GoPro cameras have have become more sophisticated and with the right setup, vlogging can be easy and fun. Also, I tend to go for extended travel and traveling light is an important factor. I currently have two GoPros, the GoPro Hero 7 Black and 8 Black; so my 7 now acts as my underwater camera.
