Your video inspires me! Thank you for capturing! If I were to ask some questions, in general of most of your hikes, how do you capture all of these? (I mean, mix of GoPro and the Sony A7s?) Some of the time lapse seemed to be moving, so do you have a gimbal or something similar that you carry too? That would be quite some weight to carry, it probably would add to the difficulty, but then again, it helps us get to see your nice adventure! My last question is in regards to battery for your gear. Do you take a lot of spare batteries pre-charged? Really cool to wonder about all these questions! (It's ok if you can't answer them all). But really, thank you very much for documenting your videos and taking us to great heights while down here on plain land. Hope one day I can do this hike too! Keep it up brother!

Hey Sarwar! Thanks for the comment, in this video it's all the a7s (now I use an insta360 too) and I do a little panning/tilting digitally to the time lapses. Yes, I have to take a bunch of charged batteries with me, and unfortunately the battery life on the a7s is pretty awful.
