I Broke My Camera, Now What? - Namibia

[@JM-im7rc]

Great vlog. I am renting a land rover and driving around southern africa for 3 weeks in September - this series has made me look forward to that even more.

[@RamonBrito]

You made it work with your phone, back to the basics. Great vlog Nicole.

[@eyebo]

Sorry to hear about your camera! Those opening shots are stunning. I'd love to wake up to that view. What a sunrise!

[@Seamemaria]

Incredible to just see the animals so close. And uau what a stunning house and amazing view

[@KaseyGall]

You make my outdoor vlogs look so whimpy compared to the amazing things you experience on the daily. Living the dream!! Thanks for sharing Nicole! 🤗

[@jodiedarlingauthor]

What an amazing thing to be able to see such beautiful animals in the wild 😍

[@MsNojoka]

Don't worry about the sound! The scenery is amazing! Loved the intro!! :)

[@davidmuiru7708]

Just wanted to welcome you lot to Nairobi. Just a Kenyan viewer here who's been hooked on your channel through Matt(S.P) and Ben Brown. You guys have been a massive inspiration to me to even start traveling and film making. So thank you! Anyway, as you were.

[@martinsadventures5662]

Your vlogging is on point Nicole 👌 Very confident, interesting and I'm never bored listening/watching them 💪 keep it up man

[@Barry_Fink]

Yes Nicole! Loving these videos riding on the front of the landy like a pro, can't wait to see more!

[@victoriajane8486]

Love both of your vlog styles. KZbin is so full of loud vloggers, you guys are so chilled and real 👍

[@JefferyRThomas]

iPhone Hack for Future Reference: Get a powered USB hub (very cheap), a lightning to USB adaptor for the phone, plug your phone in to the USB hub thru the adaptor (doesn't have to have power if you use short cables), plug a quality external mic in to the hub, and walla you cheat the phone to use an external mic that you already have instead of buying one of theirs... AND you have no more crappy iPhone mic to go with your high quality iPhone lenses. Also GREAT vlog!!! So jelly. What a trip

[@susanwoodley8171]

this is by far my fave video of the trip so far! beautiful shots, music, edit! well done!

[@gregorylent]

the opening time lapses, wow ... the bottle on the table, perfect

[@SvenVee]

Great vlog Nicole, even with the Iphone and the lack of (good) audio. :) Been loving the trip and all the videos so far of the both of you!

[@minimanbruton]

Those shots of the rolling fog/clouds at the beginning were on point :)

[@RyanM999-d4w]

DAMN NICOLE! YOU KILLED THIS VLOG. THIS WAS AMAZING...and yes ALL CAPS is necessary!

[@ColinBloodworth]

That place was absolutely gorgeous. Stunning. Sorry about all the camera issues!

[@carlanderson8049]

Really enjoing the journey Nicole, always excited to see a new vlog.

[@lunaflaneur]

Still such a beautiful vlog Nicole 😊 thank you for sharing ur journey !

[@mauiigiirl]

Thanks for sharing your journey! I like your vlogs a lot Nicole, xx from Prague

[@annabanana8013]

oh my that place looks amazing!!! What a visual treat Africa is!

[@teamwoodward3666]

I sincerely love your vlogs. such a pleasure to watch.

[@JoshEdwardsFilms]

The best camera is the one you have (working) with you :) sucks about that lens but still an enjoyable vlog Nicole, don't worry! It's pretty awesome how these days we can use just our phones to film everything and produce something of really high quality. I'm loving following this adventure, every day looks incredible

[@curiouskitten1665]

Love the opening sequence. Beautiful!

[@MrAllstar]

These vlogs are so awesome, loving it! Thanks Nicole!

[@Mican945]

That house looks amazing! Real cozy.

[@markthomas2256]

Thanks Nicole, another amazing vlog. I'm glad you are enjoying yourself.

[@pamelaharper547]

Very nice Nicole looks like you guys are really enjoying Africa. Both you and Ben are getting some great photos. Cameras do break, however you are right it sucks when you are where you are! Hang in there! I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing your life!

[@vikkimo5505]

Great vlog Nicole, some stunning shots. Oh, and a lovely little hut btw :-)

[@AnthonySmith-vo3to]

Your vlogs are great well done

[@HoneyBadgerFarm]

Great trip so far...can't wait to see more...especially Bots!

[@malinsanne]

The time lapses wow! Amazing🙌🙌🙌

[@Mican945]

That first shot really stunned me! *.*

[@elisiaw5515]

Amazing to get a glimpse of your adventures! Such a shame you didn't take a back up camera x

[@jamesfish3965]

That treehouse is so sick. Bummer about the camera, hope it gets figured out soon. I'm always following you guys. Stay safe, have fun!

[@MrRyanEdwards]

Good stuff Nicole! The trip looks awesome!

[@BenChamberland]

Great video! Quality isn't too bad even with the phone ;-) Have a nice trip ! 🙌🏽

[@Jimi4Eiscreme]

I think you were in the mahangu park. It's a nice little park. The area on the other river bank is called Buffalo Core, and it is very impressive and secludet. We found there masses of buffaloes, sable antelopes and other game, and there is an old south african military base with old buildings between the trees on red sand. Very enchanted atmosphere...

[@jessicarossman2966]

This was pretty great for being on the iPhone! No complaints here on the sound. 👍😀

[@MikeLangfordGoogle]

Wonderful stuff, hope you get your camera fixed soon, but even with the phone it is all good Nicole.

[@andyQ123]

Great content so didn't even notice about the gear issues. :-)

[@cactustweeter2890]

Those are some amazing sites. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@leivaziri]

nice quality on your phone, and trip continues to look wonderful

[@TheColeLee]

nice! one of my favourite female vloggers out there!

[@stateofzan]

What an incredible journey! I'd give anything to sit in the back seat and be on this adventure with you!

[@Mican945]

Definitely see you in next one! And thanks for this one! ;)

[@clairebird3107]

The opening footage was epic!!!

[@Phrankleen13]

*Nice vLog* 😊👌🏾

[@seanmchughnt]

Sorry to hear that the camera lens is broken and that the iphone audio is going in and out. It was impressive what you got out of the phone with the lens adapters. I know Louis uses the headphones for mic recording when doing interviews. maybe that is an option? The animals are fantastic and love the coverage you and Ben are providing. Africa looks amazing.

[@gregvierra6141]

First, WOW! You're Ngepi campsite is insane! Up close and personal with African fauna. Second, continue using the iphone to vlog with a combo of iPhone mic, voice overs, plus background music. Make lemonade from these lemons. 👊👍😎👏🏼👏🏼

[@GrnTrooper]

My wife has the same camera and hers did the same thing! We sent the lens back to Sony to fix since it was under warranty, they ended up just cleaning it as their fix and it still wasn't fixed. So we sent it back again! Good luck!

[@hatchplot]

Nicole, Cameratek in Cape Town (Montague Gardens) are now Sony repair agents. Give them a shout when you get back, maybe they can revive it.

[@NicoleEddy1]

Thanks so much for that info! I'll definitely check it out when I'm back home.

[@ChrisProuse]

Oy, I had no idea it was that hard to get a Sony camera in South Africa. Can I help, or arrange to ship one from Canada?

[@NicoleEddy1]

That's kind thank you. No worries though, I'm heading to the UK soon so I'll upgrade when I'm there :)

[@northwest8634]

Nicole Eddy Pro tip! Buy two. Btw, I don't know squat about cameras. Love what you and Ben are showing us.

[@Ventu1991]

Try to enable "Release w/o lens" in the settings! Should work only in manual but better than nothing!

[@iamgaby3048]

Does anyone know the song during the bit where Nicole is riding on the hood of the car and toward the end of the vlog? It's not in the description...

[@Travelingmel]

Filter? Sorry to hear about the camera. I can only imagine how frustrating that must be to be in such an epic place and not be able to capture it. Filmmaking is in large part problem solving so i'm sure you'll figure it out. The iphone footage looks great. Wonder if you'd share what LUT or Filter you are using on the footage. Love the look you've got going. Best of luck on the rest of the trip and hope you get the camera situation figured out. -Henry

[@jeffreyrose46]

It's ok Nicole it was still an awesome video📷😀

[@edsbloggingcom]

Sure!

[@Robert-yv8ie]

what a beautiful intro :3 a nice vlog as well :)

[@CapturesIntoMasterpieces]

Aww no hope you get your camera fixed, hope you enjoy yourself too.

[@TheMountainBarista]

Love the vlog. What setup do you use to vlog with your phone?

[@christopherstephenson4691]

The quality on the iphone is actually really good

[@Graeme408]

Amazing, original intro.

[@markrussell.]

You're very good at this I enjoy all your videos however I am surprised you don't carry back up camera gear.

[@joakimhjelm-svennesen8984]

Even though the camera is broke...the iPhone 6S does it's job good. And yeah the sound maybe not good. How fast were you guys going when you sat on the hood or bonnet (if you call it that in SA)? Love you and Ben's vlog travels throughout parts of Africa. Beautiful scenery and animals as well. I would love to go visit SA and the countries bordering up to SA and go on road trip and experience the wild bush and nature. I would love to see you guys on a North American road trip going from Alaska through Canada's provinces and territories and all the way down through America's 48 states. Possibly even down further to Mexico and further down south and see Central and South America. I know you can't compare African wild life and nature with North/South American nature and wild life but both are splendid and magnificent in each way.

[@mayp8059]

Good vlog despite the equipment failure. 🙂

[@frankie3089]

Great work. Just take Ben's camera 😜

[@jcha321]

Great vlog, please be careful riding on the hood of Pumba! Had me nervous

[@zeromiles2empty]

Nice work.

[@TimRex]

Just broke my Sony a5100 lens too... second time in 6 months. This lens is so fragile! Very annoying when you travel with it

[@NicoleEddy1]

Yeah, I think it's all about upgrading from the kit lens to be honest, one with more stability as well.

[@joseperez-cl8jk]

Ya time for a upgrade, have you tried a system reset on the camera it may not help but if it is only the connection that may work, the lens was making a sound rattle when you were showing us so that means it's dead, you could go on you tube to search how to fix that lens. Your phone is just ok for now!!

[@phynx2006]

What Ben didn't let you vlog with the 1Dx hahaha, still enjoyed the vlog : )

[@jbt6007]

Make it work moment and you made it WERQ!

[@joedpettit1691]

Banging vlog

[@nellennatea]

Awesome vlog. Sorry you have broken lense on your camera. But phone was fine. If you dont fix audio still do the filming and just give music.

[@dominguezangel9117]

Do you mind asking Ben where he buys his rings?

[@AndrewStarlife]

Ostrich just casually crossing the road :)

[@sambaytheanytimefriend]

the audio is good nicole, i mean im able to hear you well..

[@mishuMoto]

awesome places and i like the style of your vlogs, but why is the music so loud if you know the iphone audio sucks ? :( i think you scared my neighbors in the transition :))))

[@user-zn3ji5hd5g]

Ah yes, broken cameras.. :( Remember to always store your electronics in sponge/foam boxes on those bumpy roads. (And some socks filled with rice in the box too ofcourse)

[@IBrahimSAhbani]

Im Making All my Videos Just with My phone I even Try to use it Like Drone sometimes hhhh But everything Works With it

[@Mican945]

Doesn't matter. Your iPhone camera (especially with this wide lens) and that mic is just fine.

[@Mican945]

It's like you've meet up with those elephants for a drink on that watering hole. So crazy! xD

[@WorldandSumeet]

As all youtubers say, "You can make KZbin videos with your mobile phone as well." Waiting for the next one.

[@NicoleEddy1]

Not when the audio doesn't work :'(

[@WorldandSumeet]

Yes. Got to be prepared for that. But still it was good vlog.

[@Santiago-vy8fy]

Hi. Where are you today?

[@michaelm5255]

Responsibly_Dangerous_Motovlogs they just arrived in Nairobi

[@twitchyTom]

That opening time lapse! Hot damn♥

[@lsmeteor4652]

3:49 so this is where civilization all starts at the beginning of the road.

[@JiggerPictures]

sorry, but i think you covered the mic with your clip on lens.

[@NicoleEddy1]

No, my iPhone audio is whacking out, I've been testing it out to try & solve the problem :/

[@navidpradhan360]

:( "unfortunately I have to cut it short"

[@Mican945]

You say zebra too! :D

[@NicoleEddy1]

Haha, I think only Americans say 'Zeeeebra' no?

[@darleneburnell2912]

Oh man that s*"is !! : o

[@darleneburnell2912]

Not your v-log,,, that the Camera broke !! ; )

[@wyatttill4422]

So sorry your camera gear is not working! I know how frustrating that can be! Steal Bens Camera :)

[@pitime4764]

You could always narrate over the footage in the editing phase... more creativity!!!
