Lots of silly statements and questions will follow……..I have never been into cameras or photography or videoing anything but my family. So I am at a loss as to what equipment works well for documenting trails. I am not looking to start a YT channel, just capturing my travels. My kids have an old go pro hero and I used it last year and recorded almost constantly. Used almost 3-256gb cards in 13 days. data overload for sure…. It turns out that every video it captured is a 12 minute segment. Rinse/wash/repeat every 12 min. Understanding the reason for segmentation, file size limitations and the technical stuff of IT, are all new go pros the same? Meaning you have to be a video editor by night to piece a video together?? Is there nothing out there besides a digital camcorder for a seamless video stream?? I think I know the answer but I’ll play the fool this time!

What camera system do you use? iPhone or 35mm? I just upgraded to a iPhone 15 pro.

What video system do you use? iPhone or go pro?

What editing software do you use?

Guess I need to buy and learn how to use a drone too….
So what drone do you use?
