Jax kills it, he sits wherever, how smart is that cat......know he means a lot to you and you can definitely see how much he loves his dad.......take care on your travels......
I just traveled down 30 or so miles of the original lincoln highway in Pennsylvania a few days ago. Saw some awesome lincoln highway stuff that i may have just passed by without a thought if it werent for your videos. Thanks for putting it into perspective for me. Looking foward to see if you find the same stuff! Stay safe my friend!
I love all the unusual things you find!!! The burger place was so cool, a car in the wall! Haha! Now I want a burger! LOL!! You do excellent videos, Eric!! That why we love watching them!! The craziness of the 911 call to the close up of Jax was beautiful, his gorgeous eyes...Thank you for taking us so many beautiful and fun places, Safe Travels Eric!! Deb in Ky.
Police should have told the retro trailer to move, but keep the engine running (with a wink). Then the other guy pulls up, the cops arrest him for driving drunk, take his rig to the impound, and retro gets his space back and a good nights rest.
It’s so nice you ask our opinion! But you do an amazing job with whatever equipment you choose. Thanks for letting us see the country thru your experiences.
MS. 1ST AGAIN! HEE-HEE! The close up of Jax's face was great, sure has nice face markings! My main neighborhood kitty here is Tiger and he sure loves to be around me! Got back from grocery shopping today and he spotted my car driving into my carport. Stared greeting me even before I got out of the car and even jumped in the car when I opened the door to rub his face against my feet and of course I gave him his regular big helping of Whiskas chow!
Both cameras work great I seem to slightly prefer the smaller lens where you can zoom in a little more but I could barely tell until you were telling me the difference but just want you to know that they are fantastically clear and the colors are brilliant
My wife works in retail and has off and on for 30 years. I asked her a couple days ago of people are more rude now than 30 years ago. She told me people have been jerks the whole time. Some people never learned manners and just bully their way through life. Kind of sad.
KoJo2017 It all depends on peoples,kids education,upbringing from young age,,for example,, Ive been visiting Japan few times and the polite behavior and awesome services in all stores busineses is simply mind blowing,,and they dont want or accept tips anywhere.. Also The streets and subway trains are spotlesly clean,,people take pride in keeping their places clean.. ,they even make kids clean their own classrooms in school...
Love the wide angle and ability to zoon in, plus it is lighter for you, so keep using it. Thanks for fabulous video, video editing, and your flair for querky and wonderful shots of nature.
Thanks for sharing qworkkie stuff....Very enjoyable. This is my 10th day full-time in my van. Thanks for your inspiration and information you have given me.
Wow! Thanks for sharing that at the end of your Vlog Eric. Life is too short to be so stubborn and pissed off like that. That dude could have handled it in a much, much better way. Absolutely crazily insane. What a waste of time for all parties and everyone involved. It should have been a non-issue and not escalated to a 911 call. That was NOT an emergency!!! Safe travels and thanks for bringing us the joys of your journey on The Lincoln Highway. Oh yeah... I'm going to have to research the Jefferson Highway. 🤔 Never heard of it.
I think I prefer the 10-18 lens better, plus you get a bigger view. I don't like the distortion on the new lens, but the image is good. I also noticed that the sky is sometimes blown out since you've had the new camera. There's probably an adjustment for that. Keep up the great work! I"m enjoying your trip across America. :)
I just subscribed. I have 12 cats. I've been wanting to live like you. You're definitely beating the system. You are the prime example of American freedom.
Hey Bud, I totally agree with you. I've held a CDL license for years and drove in Nebraska and other Midwest states for my job. You are right as it's not the same as being on your own free time, but it's still a sense of freedom without a boss hovering over your shoulder. I have moved to another country and still feel a sense of freedom, even though I'm working. I still get to travel to local nearby cities and experience the different modes of transportation and love all aspects of it. Keep up the good work Bud!
The 911 drama is a serious drain on the system for such a silly issue. But hey...I am loving the quirks along the L highway! And the close up of Jax, of course!
I don't understand. the guy with the retro trailer was assigned the spot first. then the drunk jerk comes along, gets assigned the same spot as retro trailer and the retro trailer has to move? I think drunk jerk should move. he was there second
Well, it’s not the sensational story of a drunken bully who pulls up & demands an occupied space, & then intimates the police & management into telling the retro folks to take a hike. Old guy hasn’t drank in over 30 years. The couple in the retro RV went to security, saying the guy was “drunk”, after he knocked on their door, & security called the tribal police. He had been parked there earlier that day, & had previously paid for 3 weeks. Management had given him the orange cone (that’s even visible on my 3” phone) to reserve his place. Doesn’t speak well of someone who would go the extra mile to include footage & his presumptions, & then fail to acknowledge that management intervened and saw to it that the old guy retained his spot. It may seem “frivolous” to some now, but one day they may find out otherwise.
The closeup of Jax at 15:00 was fantastic. The bright backgrounds were a little washed out, but that may be correctable with a setting change. The zoom capability adds a tremendous variety to the shot choices. As much as you carry the camera around, the lighter weight is a definite plus. I would definitely use that setup.
Tried to buy that wide angle for my M50 but Best Buy said they were out of adapters nationwide. I'm shooting with the kit lens but miss the wide angle. We're traveling US 2 now to Glacier NP so will check along the way. Love the camera. Gld I saw your birthday video.
Well that was quite the mixture of events and sightseeing, I like those nuggets of information. Love history. This is, again, Very interesting and entertaining. Love Jax's big blue/green eyes and, can your eyes be any bluer. A can't imagine it is 95 in Iowa, my nose is running, waiting for summer in Maine
Same thing happened to my family in NJ. Guy came in at 2am and had to have “his” spot. Seems he had taken the RV out for the day and the campground had assigned us the same spot. We moved after he started yelling and cussing just to avoid the scene. CRAZY!!! Love your videos by the way. Hi to Jax.
That guy was certainly out there but after 35 years in law enforcement I have been on calls more out there . All of your photography is great thank you
I'm sure you'll figure out which lens works best for you. Sure has great color and definition, you can really notice it on the Jax shot. Wow on the RV park drama! LOL!!
Eric, your hotel/restaurant in Colo has some great history, in that the owner went to a meeting and they re-routed the highway AROUND his restaurant, just because he asked. How times have changed.
Hi Eric! Great video as always. I like both set ups. I have no camera savvy, am just going on eye appeal, but I think I liked the second set up better. Obviously though both have their own forte's so use which applies the best to each situation. It will be great anyway!😉😀 Be safe, Be blessed. 👍👍👏👏
I think it's cool you're traveling the Lincoln Highway. About 6 years ago I lived on Lincoln Highway In Canton, OH. They also have a Lincoln Highway garage sale that I participated in. Happy trails!
I like seeing mister Jax in the background as you were asking us which camera we preferred. If he’s been there before, I couldn’t see him. If that is the case then I vote for this camera setup. Jax has beautiful green eyes, by the way.
That 15mm + zoom lens works fine. Tighter but good enough. Still getting used to the exposures. It does fine on your face but other things seem over exposed a lot. The greens are intense too.
It's hot and humid in the midwest. I think it makes perfect sense to stay at a place with electric. I think that was a pretty good price. You were able to take a dip in the pool and have a little entertainment from your neighbors. That's a deal! :)
On outside shots, the ultra-wide angle lens is a bit harder to use correctly, because if your face stays stationary in the middle of the image, but the background moves around, it is much easier to watch if your face takes up a bigger part of the picture. When you use the UWA lens, it's like there's this tiny Eric face in the foreground and a huge and always moving background. Thinking back to your videography tips video several months ago.
I like both lenses and agree that you should use each depending on situation. I think the 15-45 works better when you are outside and the other is nicer when you are inside..
Thanks for shooting with the kit lens. Was wondering. Indoor, definitely the wide angle. But for the run and gun outdoors, use the kit. I vlog with the kit . The extra zoom is just too handy.
Hi Eric and your camera picked that up so clearly . I like the wide angle lense I can't wait to see what it looks like when you show those vast mountain ranges.
Go with the ultra light....nice lens either way. can I ask a question? How many gallons of gas does it take to run your generator to run yonr ac for 8 hrs?
If I owned one of those little motels I'd add a dozen camp spots. Campers would get full services at the local going rate, access to any hotel facilities that are there, like pool, sauna or steam room (and I'd add an infrared sauna or small hot tub at least). Laundry would be coin op, so would showers, because you have such cheap camping rates. Could sell them an unlimted package for these with today's modern systems. Here's the kicker though, you'd offer room service to the campground. The same services a hotel offers, food, shoe shine, dry cleaner, all that, at the same rates. I bet it'd draw in customers. You could offer off-season package rates for long term stays and during the "in season" just make them all move every 2 wks.
Resolution on the new camera and clarity on both lenses looks good. Only thing I would recommend is a neutral density filter for outdoor as it looks a little blown out at times👍
The only difference I noticed was the colors are a little less intense on the lighter one but they're actually more natural looking. I think, for that reason, I like it better.
Hi Eric. Your second lens you used seems to have a problem or lack of "Stabilization". The video seems to be jumpy more so then your lens in the first part of the video. Not a criticism, just some input because you asked. Love the vids....keep em comin!
Hi Eric, This is Aart from the Netherlands. I like it better with the first lens on your cam. But I like your vlogs anyway keep up the good stuff and happy travels.
Jax kills it, he sits wherever, how smart is that cat......know he means a lot to you and you can definitely see how much he loves his dad.......take care on your travels......
Love Jax's face at the 11:08 mark. Such a handsome kitty!!! Hi Jax!!!
I just traveled down 30 or so miles of the original lincoln highway in Pennsylvania a few days ago. Saw some awesome lincoln highway stuff that i may have just passed by without a thought if it werent for your videos. Thanks for putting it into perspective for me.

What a wonderful close-up of Jax! Enjoy your adventures around the country with Jax😊

I love your cat, Sassy Jax. You always find such interesting things in any town. Stay safe, and Happy Trails!
Both lenses have their place i just am amazed at how clear and crisp all videos come at you keep it up bro love the channel
I couldn't tell the difference, maybe because your videos are so awesome. Drive safe and have fun safe travels
That is a great close-up of Jax, love that cat.
In your latest videos you seem so happy! I just loved Jax's close up it was so crisp and clear, so beautiful!
I love that Lincoln Statue with the top hat. You always do great videos on this Lincoln Highway be safe💙🐱💙🐈
Both cameras work great I seem to slightly prefer the smaller lens where you can zoom in a little more but I could barely tell until you were telling me the difference but just want you to know that they are fantastically clear and the colors are brilliant
Keep doing your thing man, live the adventure, stay humble.

I was surprised when you went to wide angle that nothing was distorted to an oval shape. Looks good.
Thanks for sharing qworkkie stuff....Very enjoyable. This is my 10th day full-time in my van. Thanks for your inspiration and information you have given me.
There seems to be a noticeable difference in stabilization between the two lenses
What a great day! Love the video Eric! A crazy 911 for sure!
Wow! Thanks for sharing that at the end of your Vlog Eric. Life is too short to be so stubborn and pissed off like that. That dude could have handled it in a much, much better way.

Summed up my thoughts. God bless Eric and Jax.
When there's a Karen things rarely remain civil.
that lighter standard lens is superb, great clarity, it jumps off my screen
Great vid, Eric. I'm w/you on the burgers, for sure. Really enjoyed this. Thanks for your great work.
I think I prefer the 10-18 lens better, plus you get a bigger view. I don't like the distortion on the new lens, but the image is good. I also noticed that the sky is sometimes blown out since you've had the new camera. There's probably an adjustment for that. Keep up the great work! I"m enjoying your trip across America. :)
been watching for 4 or so years, really enjoy the wider lens
Wow, this vid is so clear and colorful since you got the new cam.. super job Eric...
I just subscribed. I have 12 cats. I've been wanting to live like you. You're definitely beating the system. You are the prime example of American freedom.
A burger in every city! Gotta love it!
Hey Bud, I totally agree with you. I've held a CDL license for years and drove in Nebraska and other Midwest states for my job.

Fabulous footage of jax
And a pleasant good morning to you too.
I do like the 45mm.
The lens really works either way for me. Both are excellent. You do have some of the best video on youtube. You are a master of your craft.
love the second lens, especially closeups of our man Jax.
The 911 drama is a serious drain on the system for such a silly issue. But hey...I am loving the quirks along the L highway! And the close up of Jax, of course!
Wow there are some crazy people out there, Thank you for including things like that in you videos
I don't understand. the guy with the retro trailer was assigned the spot first. then the drunk jerk comes along, gets assigned the same spot as retro trailer and the retro trailer has to move? I think drunk jerk should move. he was there second
dindog22 he drunk and cant back up most of them arent pull through lots
Well, it’s not the sensational story of a drunken bully who pulls up & demands an occupied space, & then intimates the police & management into telling the retro folks to take a hike.

Either or lens. I fine with both. Go with what you like!
The closeup of Jax at 15:00 was fantastic. The bright backgrounds were a little washed out, but that may be correctable with a setting change. The zoom capability adds a tremendous variety to the shot choices. As much as you carry the camera around, the lighter weight is a definite plus. I would definitely use that setup.
I think you meant the 11:00 timestamp?
Yep, that's what i meant to type.
Tried to buy that wide angle for my M50 but Best Buy said they were out of adapters nationwide. I'm shooting with the kit lens but miss the wide angle. We're traveling US 2 now to Glacier NP so will check along the way. Love the camera. Gld I saw your birthday video.

Gas was .27 when I was a senior in ‘69....👍🚍
Jax's does what he wants ! Lol love it Eric!
Same thing happened to my family in NJ. Guy came in at 2am and had to have “his” spot. Seems he had taken the RV out for the day and the campground had assigned us the same spot. We moved after he started yelling and cussing just to avoid the scene. CRAZY!!!
Love your videos by the way. Hi to Jax.
That guy was certainly out there but after 35 years in law enforcement I have been on calls more out there . All of your photography is great thank you
Camera is up to you. I enjoy your videos so much I wish it was 7 days a week. Thank you for what you do.
A hat man will always wear his hat in a pool. Jax has THE most amazing green eyes.
I'm sure you'll figure out which lens works best for you. Sure has great color and definition, you can really notice it on the Jax shot. Wow on the RV park drama! LOL!!
Dude I'm liking the new camera!! Definitely liking the Lincoln Hwy episodes.
I loved the Flamingo Motel! Cool stuff.
Good morning Eric and Jax! Love the video!
I like the new lens!!! I noticed it right away, even before you explained that you had changed!!! Good move!!!
You know Cats do what they want when they want and don't care what we want!
Blue Sky's and Safe Journeys!
That guy is nuts. Safe travels Stay cool.
Eric, your hotel/restaurant in Colo has some great history, in that the owner went to a meeting and they re-routed the highway AROUND his restaurant, just because he asked. How times have changed.
Another great video, but I've never seen you shake the camera so much. Fix the shaking and you got it made. The 4K is just unreal. Thanks Eric.
Hi Eric! Great video as always. I like both set ups. I have no camera savvy, am just going on eye appeal, but I think I liked the second set up better. Obviously though both have their own forte's so use which applies the best to each situation. It will be great anyway!😉😀 Be safe, Be blessed. 👍👍👏👏
I think it's cool you're traveling the Lincoln Highway. About 6 years ago I lived on Lincoln Highway In Canton, OH. They also have a Lincoln Highway garage sale that I participated in. Happy trails!
WE Live in a Trailer Park', WE do what want!! LOL. I like the first camera. Good SHOW!! "KEEPitRollin"
I like that second, lighter lens. Good job!!!
I like seeing mister Jax in the background as you were asking us which camera we preferred. If he’s been there before, I couldn’t see him. If that is the case then I vote for this camera setup. Jax has beautiful green eyes, by the way.
I like the sharper background. It's great to see all the places you visit.
that is nuts people fight over the dumbest things.love your videos eric and jax
That 15mm + zoom lens works fine. Tighter but good enough. Still getting used to the exposures. It does fine on your face but other things seem over exposed a lot. The greens are intense too.
Great vid Eric! Ya some people ! Wow. 😎
Enjoy the old quirky stuff your film, you do a great job editing. Yes belligerent people even in RVs. Some are just kings in their own minds.
It's hot and humid in the midwest. I think it makes perfect sense to stay at a place with electric. I think that was a pretty good price. You were able to take a dip in the pool and have a little entertainment from your neighbors. That's a deal! :)
Eric, I would be more concerned with good image stabilization, than the 3mm worth of zoom between the two lenses. Just my .02 cents...
I liked the close up of Jax. The image looked very sharp.
I think I’ll tune back in when the Lincoln highway is done.
Have a great day mate all the best from across the pond! :)

both are good you got good equipment man looks really good, thanks for doing what you do.
The wide-angle looks great Eric
The second lens seemed to make the background cleared and not as washed out. Much better picture than the first lens. Just my opinion. Safe travels.
I like both lenses and agree that you should use each depending on situation. I think the 15-45 works better when you are outside and the other is nicer when you are inside..
Thanks for shooting with the kit lens. Was wondering. Indoor, definitely the wide angle. But for the run and gun outdoors, use the kit. I vlog with the kit . The extra zoom is just too handy.
Yeah I just left that casino too in Iowa. Great place quiet and we boon-docked there for like a week. Great place.
The new camera still isn't as stable as the GoPro and gimbal
Drunks aren't logical. Stupid yes! Love the old time buildings. Like the video both ways. Great video!
Hi Eric and your camera picked that up so clearly . I like the wide angle lense
I can't wait to see what it looks like when you show those vast mountain ranges.
Is there a follow up on the people and the drunk guy? What happened next??
Your repainted hood still looks good. Good video with both lenses.
If you were using film, I would suggest a skylight filter or a uv filter but not sure what is available for your digital camera.
It could be done with that lense but Please do something about the stabilization.
Go with the ultra light....nice lens either way. can I ask a question? How many gallons of gas does it take to run your generator to run yonr ac for 8 hrs?
A guy like you is definitely ON the cheeseburgers. Glad to see you in my neck of the woods!
I like the ultrawide lens. Great video.
Glad you made it to my tiny town of Colo.
Isn't Colo. the abbreviation for Colorado?
I like the last part with the other lens. It really zooms in good.
The casino is 80F because the elderly feel cold if its cooler than that.
The video seems to be more shaky than usual, maybe its just me..
If I owned one of those little motels I'd add a dozen camp spots. Campers would get full services at the local going rate, access to any hotel facilities that are there, like pool, sauna or steam room (and I'd add an infrared sauna or small hot tub at least).

You could offer off-season package rates for long term stays and during the "in season" just make them all move every 2 wks.
Your shoot bounces around way more than before. You may need to calibrate your gyros on your leveling stick. :)
Resolution on the new camera and clarity on both lenses looks good. Only thing I would recommend is a neutral density filter for outdoor as it looks a little blown out at times👍
The only difference I noticed was the colors are a little less intense on the lighter one but they're actually more natural looking. I think, for that reason, I like it better.
