    Kraig, I am really glad that you switched back to your previous style videos. I understand that it is easier to just carry an iphone while hiking instead of the heavy mirrorless camera and tripod but the video produced by the Sony camera is superior to that of the iphone and you have an exceptional ability to produce evocative, lonely scenes in nature accompanied by excellent music choices. This is what makes your videos unique.

    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?"

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). Thanks for sharing!

    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!

    I totally understand why shooting on an iPhone doesn't work for your audience. The main reason you set yourself apart in this genre is because of your dedication to high production quality since the genre is heavily saturated with low quality phone video's. As well as that a big chunk are also filmmakers themselves, including me. Just some observations from personal experience since it was the reason I started watching all your video's in the first place and it changed the way I shoot travel films 180°.
