I love dried seaweedm=, Beetles, red squirrels, polar bears, rock formations, and your 360° camera.

[@StephenJReid]

Yay that’s two of us now that like the seaweed! 😁

[@HeatherKruel]

This is so cool. Researching my family history and we came from this part of Ireland. I am American lol. Would love to visit someday.

[@StephenJReid]

Ahh brilliant, well I’ve quite a few videos up from around the Antrim area. Just look for MEAdventures 🙂 Hopefully you’ll get to visit sometime.

[@stuartmiller9648]

We are doing this on motorbikes but in the opposite route...looks awesome!!!!!!

[@soupyruns9709]

That old Beetle’s the same age as me, it probably runs better too!!! Lol

[@StephenJReid]

🤣 It has a nice rumble to it.

[@soupyruns9709]

Stephen J Reid can’t beat the sound of an old V Dub Beetle 👌🏻

[@36isnotold]

Can’t wait to see this before heading to Bushmills. Stunning.

[@StephenJReid]

You coming from far?

[@36isnotold]

Stephen J Reid Indiana (near Chicago 🙊)

[@StephenJReid]

Ah just up the road then 😂 Tourists usually entirely miss that stretch of road as the tour buses bypass it on the way to the Giants Causeway from Belfast, but it's well worth taking the longer slower coastal road.

[@36isnotold]

Stephen J Reid ty...I plan on driving this way from donegal on my way to Bushmills then into Belfast.thats the plan at least 🙊

[@rednome5443]

Not gonna lie, I was so worried about the 360 camera when you had it out through the Black Arch 😅😬 Great video Steve 👍🏻 Such a lovely coastal drive.

[@magdalenaohisea5403]

How on earth did you manage to vlog in a Beetle, it is sooo loud, respect for your microphone setup. This was a nice trip, thank you for sharing ! 😎

[@StephenJReid]

Haha, yeah it’s like being in a tractor. That was just with the Rode VideoMicro on Panasonic GH5, worked quite well

[@KCadbyRacing]

SO much to see that after backing up a few times to see things I missed, I restarted the video and watched it again at .75 speed 😜 I can't tell you how much I enjoy seeing these places from more of a laymen's point of view, yet everything (filming, commentary and editing) are done so professionally 👍👍 It looks like you have a Bullet Time attachment (handle) in this video that I haven't seen before? I've been refusing to pay $55 US for that accessory (partly because I already have multiple sticks) and I'm probably going to make my own handle, so wondering if what you used here was bought or fabricated???

[@StephenJReid]

Thanks very much Kevin! 🙂 What I discovered is that you can do bullettime without the special handle. Just spin the pole around your head. This was a modified 3meter pole I got on eBay for about £15

[@KCadbyRacing]

@@StephenJReid Thanks Stephen, I see now that it was probably pole flex that made it look like a handle at 0:15 -17 I've been doing BulletTime without a handle but it hurts my 63+ year old wrist (that I fractured 20 years ago) 😜 And, it's easy to tell when your using the 3meter pole 🙄 (I'm ignorant when it comes to proper editing but not visual perspective) 😁

[@DavidDoyleOutdoors]

Love it, great job. Didn’t know about the polar bear thing. Did you actually touch that jellyfish? Probably should have had a ‘don’t try this at home’ caption, but why anyone would have a jellyfish at home I don’t know ;) Do you bother with log colour profiles on your Mavic or just the standard colour profile?

[@StephenJReid]

🤣 I just tapped it lightly on the top, not stingy on top. The underwater shot was much riskier as my hand was really close to it. Lions Mane Jellyfish, pretty nasty, can land you in hospital. 😬 now imagining one living in someone’s bath. 🤣 I just use D-Cinelike. Don’t bother with log as the bitrate is so low.

[@gerardmcglinchey5779]

Nice video Stephen can i ask what camera you using

[@StephenJReid]

hmmmm not sure it was so long ago but I think at this point I was maybe using a Sony A7iii with a vintage canon 17mm lens to vlog. Bit of an awkward setup

[@rjohndraws]

Damnit i just got back from vacation . now i need to back on vacation .

[@StephenJReid]

🤣 These were all about a 7hour drive from where you were staying though. 😬

[@rjohndraws]

@@StephenJReid I'm in for a challenge
