      Hi @SterlingNoren. What kind of mount are u using for your monopod attachment, and what's that rubber strap at the bottom? Thanks for your help and for all your work. HOLA DESDE BAJA CALIFORNIA..!

      I'm with AJ; Sterling is a master cinematographer, editor, rider, chef, narrator, and above all, a skilled storyteller. Nobody captures the natural splendor of America like Sterling does, especially with a drone.

    I love this Sterling! Quick UA-cam suggestion, you can have the next video come up at the end of all of these. This makes it really easy for people to keep watching and binge the series. Go to your UA-cam studio and click the "edit" button on a video. Click "end screen" and you can add a video and choose which video you want to pop up (choose the next video in the series). Great job on this! Cheers!

    This is Must Watch UA-cam. Most videos have a lot of stuff I like and some stuff I don't. This series has everything I love - trip planning, riding, camping, cooking, natural scenery, outback historical information, video production.... I anxiously await each episode. Thank you so much for these videos. Each is a gorgeous gift. You inspire me not only to ride, and take longer rides with camping, but also to document my trips even though my video skills are a joke compared to your artistry. The timing of this series is ideal. Spring is here. It's time to ride!

    It's sort of crazy of me in a way, because I've taken motorcycle trips and enjoy getting out there and being in the wind and experiencing the universe all around me, but I think I almost enjoy these adventure videos that you produce, Sterling nearly as much because of what your eye picks up that ends up being content.
    I get that the drone can give the rest of us a different view, but it's more than that. We ALL can live the life vicariously, and see the natural world we have.
    It's much appreciated....

    • @letitrest4662
      @letitrest4662 Рік тому

      @@merlestadnyk It really is, and I get such great vibes from Sterling and Eva's videos too. The series they did in Baja was so much fun to watch. The little coastal eateries and camping, plus the unique north central Baja desert area with all the rocks was something I'd never seen before. To me North America has SO much diversity from one area to the next, and Sterling is doing such a great job of offering an adventurers perspective of the west.
      I retired a few years ago, and although my resources aren't unlimited, more and more I'm realizing how little I need and how much I can see on what I have to use.
      Currently I have a Yamaha FJR1300a, but I see the benefit of having a machine that'll take me on the interstate, or the dirt roads of Baja.
      I can't wait till the time that I can book a room at their motel for a base to explore Arizona. I definitely want to buy Sterling and Eva a glass of wine or two in gratitude for what they both give me in enjoyment from their channel. Two wonderfully creative people with adventurous spirits.......

    Dear Sterling, I live in tiny Switzerland and I’ve been watching your channel for some time now, especially your “Riding Solo” series. You are a big inspiration to me and the main reason why I have started riding my bike on longer camping and adventure trips through Europe. The US and Canada are of course very high on my bucket list! Your insights, your awesome filming, photography and storytelling style, your cooking, what kind of equipment you use; all this has laid the groundworks for my own trips (I even ordered the firebox stove …). Thank you very much for sharing all of this in a very sympathetic and entertaining way! Please keep going and sharing - you’re doing a fantastic job. Best regards from Switzerland, Frank

    I like how you describe your photographic methods and equipment. I was a still photographer back in the film era. I would have loved the freedom of small digital cameras and a drone. We rented Bell Helicopters for aerial photography at $500 per hour, back in 1975. And then wait to see the film results. I ride a Pan America in North Idaho, and love the Back Country Discovery Routes nearby.
    Keep up the awesome work, I look forward to seeing more 😎🇺🇸
