Today's video reminds me of my friend, Bob. He used to send me cards from Germany during the Oktoberfest,
They usually said something like'" We are here eating knockwurst and enjoying quantities of beer and you are there working ...Too Bad!"
It's quite nice to see you both not only relaxing, , but teaching how to effectively take travel videos with a GO PRO...Very NIce!
Cheers,
Rik

@Stefen...You should explore the southern part of Cebu and go waterfall hopping. Cebu has about 111 waterfalls more than any other place in the Philippines. You can't go wrong with Cebu waterfalls as they are mostly very clean with clear turquoise blue water and with multiple levels amidst lush tropical setting. You can climb Cebu's highest point, Osmena Peak, and be amazed at out-of-this-world scenery at the top. You can fly your drone there. It's a very easy trek, only about 15-25 minute hike from the registration area where you can park your vehicles.

Hey Stef something you and other viewers could add to your camera bag if using the GoPro around water is a small bottle of water repellent, I use Rain X from any Super Cheap or Auto Barn, it will prevent the droplets remaining on the lens when wet.

was this recorded on linear or wide? and why

[perraine]

What video editor program do you use if any to edit your videos?

[JodelFlyer]

Jet Ski looked like fun. Now we know why we never see Jacq in the plane with you!

[julianthomas]

Hi Stefan, what do you find to be the difference between the narrow view and the linear view? Thanks

I have a Hero 7 black and any settings i see online the camera always looks pixelated including inside my home. I see people do videos in a somewhat dark area and it looks amazing with the quality. I do the same settings they have and it looks like garbage.

So what are the 100% BEST settings for hero 7?

[spiro]

From what I can see the GoPro did a fantastic job of filming this video. Is it just me or did that cat have unusually long legs ?? I think you may need to go Jetskiing more often as Jackie seems to like it so much. Thanks mate.

You know I guess because we're two different types of lagers I like the noise in the background when I'm riding through the woods around on the trail my goal is to make it as authentic and natural as possible so the sound of the birds of the leaves in the wind passing you by while I'm riding my bike it gives it a little more of a natural Edge like you're a part of the ride but again I'm a mountain biker vlogger that definitely can be the difference my traveling friend

Thanks Stefan ...great vision yet gain...how about a video ( not now) of how you actually edit your VLOGS....I presume using a Mac! Milkshake would be jealous of the great time both of you are having over there!!

The very 1st and last time I used the jogging machine was in Cebu city at Marriott hotel. I am used to jogging along sugar cane fields and banana plantations. When I stopped the machine after 10kms I lost balance upon stepping down onto the floor because of dizziness. The gym manager thought I was about to faint. I told him I am not used to jogging with a machine, he said no wonder why I lost my balance .

[marvinsmith]

No ‘fish eye’ from the lens Stef, must upgrade the GoPro, one or two models

[loremaable]

I could send you some Bukho ( coconut) I have 5 trees in my garden.

Hi Stef (from Stef) did my best since subscribing a long time ago. Yet have to finally say your lovely wife is more than "kinda Hot" which is a note I remember you passing to her on a flight a while back. You are a lucky man and happy travels (as long as that is not Dennis Bunnick - if it is then happy 2019 and happy marriage). sometimes I think I put to much in brackets.... leave a comment hehe xXxX
