Hey Mark! Apologies for the tardy reply. Thanks for making and posting this video. It was very helpful. I'm interested to hear how you like the DJI camera as compared to the GoPros. I got out yesterday and used my DJI Air 3 for the first time. I had some hiccups and need to get more proficient and using some of the modes and setting up shots. But, at least I launched and recovered and got some cuts! Rookie no more...that said, I have a great amount of respect for the time and technical acumen you've displayed after trying it myself and building a video. Check me out and I definitely copied some of your equipment and style. Thanks for the inspiration. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpWpYWiuod2frZYsi=BOp4K9rTFBF_tR9c

The levels are near normal now on the Great Lakes except for Lake Erie that is still above its average. Over the past 8-9 years we have been use to well above normal. But the past few winters and especially this past one, the regions that around the Lakes and the lakes themselves have seen well below normal snow levels.

Mark, can you share what 'cold weather' gear you wear while riding at this time of year?
@MarkForrestAdventures 5 күн бұрын
No problem, I am wearing a t-shirt, thin long sleeve shirt then a Columbia PFG hoodie and then a Columbia Water/Wind proof jacket. For pants I have underwear, then neoprene long underwear then either Columbia PFG pants covered with Columbia Water/Wind proof pants or I have a pair that have a lining and are water proof. For shoes I normal go with crocks and if needed a pair of neoprene socks or I have some water proof boots if it is really cold. Then incase anything gets wet I have a full change of clothes in the car. But again only going out in more or less nice weather. If it was any bit more I have a full wetsuit I can wear. But I prefer the nice days LOL.

Any reason why its down Mark ? Great video BTW
@MarkForrestAdventures 6 күн бұрын
There are a few but mostly it is that the lakes did not freeze over this winter so more water evaporated than would have if the ice cover it. Then with that El Niño we have not got as much rain the last 2 years to help fill so those two factors are the main reason. Thanks so much as always Cheers!

I was reading an article recently that the levels in Lake Ontario, while they seem low, visually low, they are actually at what are considered "normal" levels. Because of the flooding in 2019, the lake was at an all-time high. A ton of shoreline flooding and damage occured that spring and summer. The joint Can/US committee that controls the levels in Cornwall had to make a decision to lower the level. Even with that lowering, apparently Lake Ontario has naturalized to normal levels. I am concerned about some of the back lakes though, that don't have means of control other than spring fed or natural drainage. Evapouration for sure was an issue this year on the Great Lakes with next to no ice levels. I've been on a couple of back lakes around here, one of which had 12" of ice for a while is kind of high right now, but it is a reservoir lake for the Rideau Canal. Once they put some of the water back in the canal, it will go back down as well. Another great video, Mark!
@MarkForrestAdventures 6 күн бұрын
Nice yes I fully agree the water is just getting to the so called normal lake level again. It is just crazy to see how high it did get back then for sure. I agree with no ice on the lakes the evaporation was a big factor and no snow as well to fill those back lakes up. Oh I ma sure when they pull water to the Canal it will bring those lakes down even more. Thank so much great info Adam and as always thanks for watching and reaching out Cheers!

You were right that set up is amazing! I really enjoyed it, was easy to use when on the water. Then add that Mic 2 wow what a game changer that is. Yes the next video I am going to switch and shoot in D-LOG I wanted to try the normal setting first and it works good but I think your right what I should be able to pull from it in D-LOG should be great.

Hey Bob, Yes I am trying out the DJI action 4 camera and the DJI mic 2. With those two you can link the mic right to the camera and not have to have anything plugged into the camera so it stays water proof. It is a game changer for recording on the water! It was around 15 feet deep but there was a lot of current as it was at the mouth of the Niagara River. But already have it replaced so good to go for the next adventure!

Nice job Mark. I have one question that's totally off topic. I was thinking of installing a bilge pump on my GTX 170 and I am curious if you have considered it for your machine?
@MarkForrestAdventures 19 күн бұрын
Thanks so much! I have seen them installed but I have not done it. It makes sense if you keep it outside with no cover on as you will possible get rain inside the unit. Or if you are jumping it and take on extra water that way or even roll it then yes not a bad idea to have one. But if you have the cover and or store inside and are not doing crazy moves that water could get in then I do not see a need for one. If you crack the hull its going down pump or no pump lol are you seeing water in your hull now?

@MarkForrestAdventures appreciate your opinion Mark. I have not had any water in at all and I definitely don't ride it hard. I just watched some videos in case the carbon seal goes on the drive.
@MarkForrestAdventures 19 күн бұрын
What year is your GTX? if it is newer than 2021 the seal should be much better there was an issue with how it was seated from the factory for like the 2018-2020 runs. how many hours on it? if you are over 200 to 250 take it to a BRP shop and ask them to check it and make sure it is looking good. That is good that you have not seen any in there and if not riding crazy then I would say put that money towards gas lol And like if the carbon seal does go from what I have heard no pump is going to save it unless you are real close to shore.

I do agree insta has some cool aspects to it and if you are going to only shoot and post with the insta then yes it is a great set up and can get you all your shots with not having to worry if its in frame. But when I used it with my drone and go pro shots it just did not look as clean and sharp and took me out of the flow of the video. But I agree it is a very cool camera and can really be good and you can make some really cool looking shots with it so for that I will miss mine.
