      Jason I watch all of your videos religiously. Your question with the GoPro I think it’s still very good quality, the changes between the cameras aren’t massively dramatic, but yeah overall use what your most comfortable with at the time. Cant wait for your summer adventures, will be watching the journey with you!

      Hello! I just wanted to say that you can feel free to choose whichever camera works for your situation. The M50 is wow quality, but of course it’s not always practical. The go pro is just fine and I like the wide angle too. If you didn’t mention it I probably wouldn’t have noticed!

    Larnaca is always the best place to start with Cyprus. Cozy and so accessible to the rest of the areas, before you dive into Nicosia and the leafy green countryside around Pathos.

    As a Cypriot woman, I genuinely appreciate you using the right term to describe the situation in my country. Not many people know that only Turkey recognizes the occupied area as Turkish, so this is very respectful towards our ancestors 🙏🏻

      He described the two sides as “Greek” and “Turkish” though which is wrong. If we say that the occupied area is “Turkish” this further divides the country and makes the situation permanent.

    Great video Jason, love Greek Cypriots, I actually got married in Aya Nappa back in 1999. The Greek Cypriots are the friendliest people worldwide, met a family where the husband fought in the 1974 war with Turkey.
    Looking forward to seeing Nicosia again, arriving to a hotel in the middle of the night was quite eye opening, seeing the Turkish flag lit up on the mountainside.
    Not a nice thing to do really.

    The GoPro cameras are now far better than their earlier models, and my camera of choice for all my vlogs. Just small enough to fit in my handbag and relatively unobtrusive when filming. Much easier to manage, so keep using yours as the vlogs you produce are sogood and enjoyable to watch. Thank you for making them.

    I only have a GoPro Hero 9 that I use for my channel, mainly because that's what I could afford, but it's worked great for me so far. I've made better videos than I thought I could with it and the pros outweigh the cons. Yes the sound could be better (I do have a media mod on my GoPro to help with that) and it doesn't really zoom, which sometimes can be unfortunate. But otherwise it's great, and it's small size & lightness makes it easy to travel with.

    Just to let you know what we use.

    I am happy with your GoPro video quality. I think the GoPro is a smart choice in busy areas like central squares and markets. I don't know if you use an add-on microphone with your GoPro, but I'm pretty sure they are available. Your audio quality seems pretty good just the way it is. So give your self a break sometimes and quit lugging around that heavy and attention getting larger camera.

    I think the Go Pro quality is fine for filming. The main thing is you should be comfortable and safe in the environment that you're in so it doesn't detract from your experience. I noticed when you were on the bus at around 15:30, the audio cut out, so maybe check the GoPro audio settings. Other than that, we all enjoy watching your interesting travels capturing the environment through your eyes.

    • @JasonBillamTravel
