Azores - Travel Video

I spent 2 weeks with my girlfriend in the Azores islands ( Pico, Sao Miguel, Sao Jorge)
The Azores Islands are a small archipelago of nine islands off the coast of Portugal. Verdant and lush, the Azores offer many beautiful sites to see and interesting places to visit like the sapphire blue and emerald green lakes, fertile prairies, volcanic cones and craters, colorful hydrangeas and azaleas, 15th century churches, and majestic manor houses.
We went there to walk, discover volcano caves and see whales ... sadly , i didn't saw any whales but i saw dolphins and flying fishes.
This islands are so beautiful, so wild and so unique in the world, it was a wonderfull experience and 2 weeks was definitely not enough to see all.
This video is a way to give you a short view on what you could see in the Azores islands.
It was shot with a Sony A7II and 35mm zeiss Lens
color-graded in premiere cc with Impulz puts
stabilized with a Beholder MS1 3 Axes Gimbal
Thanks to Sony France for their support and to My Girlfriend Mariel for her patience when i was shooting behind her like a spy.

Would you invite me to shoot a second video ? :)

[@AzoresWhatElse]

@@MathieuStern At this time, not possible. But one doesn't know the future, so we never know what it holds. Best regards.

Amazing Video! I really like your camera work as well as your amazing web series about strange lenses! Keep on doing such great things! One Question which i asked my self: How do you shoot the timelapse-parts? Are you using the Sony Camera Timelapse app or an external device?

[@MathieuStern]

+Luigiplayer86 Thanks a lot Luigi ! i was using the Sony Timelapse App on the Nex 5R with a mini tripod, and shooting video with the A7II

Next time if come visit Azores again, and If you pass by Faial Island tell me something, I have all the pleasure to show this island and some amazing spots.

[@Darby.V]

Are you using some sort of rig to get such smooth shots?

[@MathieuStern]

+Darby Vance Yes a Beholder MS1 it's in the description

[@Darby.V]

Oh sorry. Thanks! Beautiful video btw.

[@MotherChicken2]

did you shoot everything is 60fps?

[@MathieuStern]

+MotherChicken2 Yea and in Slog2

[@Videoshane]

did you carry a tripod around for those timelapses ?

[@MathieuStern]

+Shane Harrison Just a small tripod the size of a sandwich

[@Videoshane]

that's awesome yeah i guess those A7's don't weigh much... Very cool man i watched it 3 times in a row

[@MathieuStern]

Shane Harrison Wow thats really nice of you !! i was just traveling with the A7II a mini tripod, a MS1 and a single 35mm lens

[@elijahbun7402]

hey i have a a7ii and 35mm 2.8 too and was wondering how the MS1 handles that combo? Is the set up hard? Are there any small issues with anything? Thanks!

[@MathieuStern]

The MS1 i have is not the best, i would not recommend to buy their product, it works, but it's not optimal

[@elijahbun7402]

Thank you I was on the fence and I've seen some bad reviews, I have purchased the Zhiyun Crane instead! BTW great video
