I don't know what to call this place. Singer Bluff? Singer Hill? The Bluff at 8th Street? Anyway, it's pretty.
This is a continuation of my binaural walking experiments. This time with an umbrella, as it was raining. I was holding the camera gimbal in my left hand while holding the umbrella with my right (I should have switched hands, but once I started, it was pretty much impossible to change). Still learning, but it's a gorgeous spot.
Camera: Moto X4 phone
App: Open Camera -- Video stabilizer on
Video Format: H.265
Focus: Autofocus
Bitrate: 40Mbps
Microphone: Roland CS-10EM
Recording device: Zoom H1 (old version)
Gimbal: Aochuan Smart XR
Video editor: Shotcut (I just synced the audio and video, and added fades. No other processing)
Audio impressions: Again, I like the binaural audio experience. The point where I'm looking at the top of the waterfall and then turn to look on the other side of the path, I could close my eyes and pinpoint exactly where the waterfall was. Still very pleased with it.
One slight issue is that wearing a mask with the microphones in my ears, sometimes you could hear me when I was breathing heavily. Not too bad, but something to consider in the time of mask wearing.
Video impressions: Turning up the bitrate took care of some of the issues. Unfortunately, now I'm getting a blurring issue when turning too fast. I think it was because of the limitations of the phone in low-light conditions. There were also a few lost frames, again because of the phone. These would probably be solved with a new phone, but that's not happening any time soon.
While the video wasn't perfect, the location really makes up for it!
