My name is Brian. In 2014 I moved into a self converted camper van. A year later I hit the road to pursue seasonal work around the U.S. and enjoy as much time camping in nature along the way. I am currently in a 2010 GMC 10 foot box van that I build as a camper. Join me on my adventures!

    I've been away from the net and catching up on your videos. Coincidentally, I asked a few questions a couple of videos ago about your editing software, etc., and then I see this video, and it's as though you read my mind in advance. Thanks for doing that! I am still interested in the question about your choice of 1080p resolution. Are you running into significant barriers to go to 4K? I know that I am. And I'm wondering whether I should even care, since your 1080p videos look fabulous. Thanks for sharing all this tech info--VERY interesting to me.

    Hello Brian! Excellent video as always. Do you mind sharing what video software you use? It looks as though you've stuck with 1080, which looks great on my screen. Many folks have gone to 4K, and when I tried to follow suit (using Davinci), I found the storage and processing burden to be huge. My laptop just balked. My desktop can handle it, but I hate to be tied to that. I may just abandon my 4K ambitions and go back to 1080, so I can use a simple laptop and minimal storage. Would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks for sharing your adventures!

    I've lived in AZ for 27 years now. It's cold in the winter! No snow, but it's cold! During the day it might be warm, could get up to 70. As soon as the sun goes now, boom the temp drops 10 degrees in 15 minutes & then in an hour another 15 degrees. So it can go from 70 to 40 in an hour & half! I want to move to Florida! The AZ cold is different! During the day shorts & a tee shirt, after the sun goes down you're looking for a parka!

    I have the iPhone 13 Pro as well and have had no issues with the DJI mics and the lightning adapter with any of our videos. I wonder if you just have a defective connector? Or maybe the port on the phone. Have you tried the mic on someone else's iPhone? Very strange, it does such a wonderful job for us.
