Wow! I’m just glad your okay. I must admit, I was rather surprised that you were being allowed to move to China (the epicenter of it all) back when you first said you’d be taking a break from making videos. At that time, there were still lockdowns happening. I'm just very glad you’re back. I’ve always enjoyed your videos and gotten quite a lot of good information from them that i have been able to pass on to others. But don’t stress over how many vids you put out. I’ve been seeing multiple KZreadrs announcing on their channels that they need to take breaks for their mental health. Keeping yourself healthy and sane is ‘way more important than satisfying the masses. The fans that care about you and your vids the most will understand completely and just chill in between your posts.

Bloody hell mate, what a ride! I understand your need to offer an apology to your followers but rest assured I very much doubt anyone wants or needs one. Shit happens all the time mate, we all go through those tough unplanned moments in life and the main thing is to look out for you and your family; nothing else matters. Covid certainly shook things up, and being a Victorian under the control of Dan Andrews I TOTALLY understand the frustrations with constant, lengthy and repetitive lockdowns while watching the rest of the world (and other states) opening back up for business. What I can't relate to though is being caught up in the middle of a global pandemic whilst trying to move to another country; I don't envy you Mike but It is good to hear that you all came through it unscathed (as rough as it was) and can now hopefully put it in the past and move on with things. I do hope you guys are doing well now and have started to settle in somewhat; and although I do look forward to your videos the world isn't going to end if they're not there. No pressure mate, you do you! 👍

No need to apologise, I am just glad to see you back. I don't believe what you and your family have had to go through. I would have gone crazy and l probably would have shot someone. I am working on a big factory ship thousands of miles away from home, which means l had to travel around the world to get to work, and even though our schedule changed because of Covid, l never missed a day at work. First time someone had Covid on board, we had to stay at port in some kind of quarantine, but after that when someone got Covid we just didn't tell anyone and kept on working. I am sure when we look back at how things vere handled, especially in your part of the world, we will realise that we could have done things differently. Good to have you back and it is very good to see that you look OK and as calm as before 😊

Mike! I've been wondering if you would ever return! I did see your one upload of the Mini 3 Pro's introduction to gravity- that was a close call - and, as I'm typing this I haven't got to the story yet (curious if it matches what I suspect) I've just gotten the Mavic 3 Pro (Lucky me) I have a Mini 3 Pro as well and.. and Insta360 Sphere! (Which required the purchase of an Air 2S. And no, I didn't win the lottery or rob a bank! Well, other than my own account, lol! VERY pleased to see you back! Okay, so I did not realize how far back your "adventure" started. I know from Family how Australia was - severe lock downs like New Zealand- but your Shanghai story I was almost right - except you catching covid. One question, and simply curiosity, since you may have reasons I'm unaware of: No Vaccines? I ask because my entire family never had Civil, in spite of 72% of the 330 million Americans having exposure. I attribute it to vaccine. Glad your okay, and finally close to getting your channel up and running again!
