Glad you enjoyed it! ☺️

Thanks and welcome! 🤗 I see you do hiking videos too, so I’ve subscribed back!

@@peakandpaddleuk ah that's so kind of you, hope you enjoy them. I'm definitely motivated to try harder after watching yours :D

Thank you ☺️

Hey thanks for watching and posting! I’m so glad you are experiencing them the way I intended :) As a lover of the outdoors, my main aim is to convey the tranquility of being out in nature, with all its sights and sounds 🥰

@@willyoungs9034 thanks! I use a combination of GoPros, my phone, a DJI Pocket 3, a Sony A6700, and a DJI Mini 4 Pro 🙂 I like having a mini arsenal!

⁠@@stoodmars hi, thanks for watching! That’s Ullswater in the Lake District 😊

@peakandpaddleuk thanks!

@@KellyParkPhoto sure! 🙂 I mainly use two GoPros and my iPhone (which is always in my PFD). I keep one GoPro mounted on the stern of my kayak (with a suction type mount made by an American company called Kayalu), which I control by remote, and then the other GoPro is on a Gorillapod tripod (a small, highly articulated tripod) that I keep close at hand on the deck of my kayak for the forward facing shots off my bow and also the shots looking back at me. Both GoPros are also tethered to my decklines for additional security. I use my iPhone for scenery shots around me (I prefer the quality of the iPhone compared to the GoPro but it lacks the practicalities of those cameras). I also occasionally put the GoPro from my deck onto the shore to shoot as I paddle past (this is a bit of a faff but I think it’s important to have those third person perspective shots for context!). In addition to those, I use a DJI Mini 4 Pro drone. I don’t generally fly that from my kayak though; I tend to shoot the drone footage before I launch and then possibly during a lunch stop and/or once I’m done paddling.

@@iansoutdooradventures it’s lovely to read your comment, thank you! I come from a background in photography and only recently started dabbling in videos myself. I’ll let you in on a little secret: I mainly shoot with the two GoPros mounted on the kayak (and my phone), and then the following day, I’ll shoot the drone footage and the “on land” angles. That way I can enjoy the main paddle without too much faffing, and then just spend a bit of time the following day to do the rest. Of course it only really works if the weather is more or less the same but I’ve found this really works well for me 🙂

@@peakandpaddleukahhh - now I understand and it makes sense. I use GoPros too although in cold weather they can be quite troublesome. I did wonder how you managed to get the drone footage whilst kayaking, or getting out a lot… thanks for the tip! Happy paddling

@@iansoutdooradventures I find flying the drone from my kayak far too nerve wracking! :)

@@peakandpaddleukyes - agreed. Too risky in trying to get the thing landed back on your deck or in your hand. Too many opportunities for it to go badly wrong.

@@iansoutdooradventures Exactly! Although the Hoverair X1 Pro, which you can launch and land by hand, can fly over water; it's just got a massive price tag. I am investigating whether DJI's new Flip drone might be a possible option though, because you can also launch and land it from your hand, although their website discourages use over water... stay tuned!

@@PaddleBroken thank you, I’m so glad you enjoy them ☺️

@@tomkleinenberg hey Tom! ☺️ I love paddling there! It’s all the fun of exploration plus magnificent scenery and all without the faff of tidal planning. The perfect weekend!

@@wavesoffun hi, thanks for watching! It was a lovely day on the water, in that way that winter paddling is. I love it when I feel like I have the whole place to myself. The cold always presents some challenges but it’s so worth persevering, because the atmosphere is magical :) Thanks for your kind words!

Thanks Steve ❤

It was very beautiful, the embodiment of everything I love about winter days on the water.

@@Simon-ry1lw thank you :)

@@jujujay I enjoy the atmosphere of the mist! I’d even go as far as to say I prefer it over sunshine! Certainly for photography it’s far better 😅 Enjoy your kayaking trip!!

@ yes I’ll 2nd that over sunshine ☀️ when hiking 🥾 Weather very wild here today so maybe a short play paddle in waves 🌊 and no longer paddle with camp ⛺️

@@samrowan Saaaam! I didn’t know you were on here! 🤣

Hey, thanks for watching and posting! Funnily enough, I was thinking the other day that it's a trip I'd be happy to do again too :) Lismore feels more remote than it actually is, and I feel like we barely scratched its surface.

@ hey guys it changes throughout the seasons and depending on who you are taking round it can be a real wonderful learning and teaching experience. Thank you for your time in making content.

Wonderful paddle. As a general note the music takes away the sense of peace and solitude experienced by the paddlers. I believe this applies to all paddling videos. Thank you for sharing.

@@oliverkillian hey thanks for watching and posting, I’m glad you enjoyed it! It looks like you have a similar style of videography :) The Highlands are my favourite part of the UK!

@@newfoundlanderonthego thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it ☺️

@@silentrabbit247 thanks for watching! I almost did Loch Shiel earlier this year but then plans changed. It’s still on my list :)

@@steelninja-m6d I love paddling in the Lakes :) Fabulous scenery and no tides to faff with!

@@john-wick101 I started using Greenland paddles when I developed wrist tendinitis earlier this year. For me the benefit is that I’m able to paddle without pain.

@@ervinslens thank you, that’s very kind of you to say :)

Thank you :)
