Questions
What kind of camera gear do we use? What kind do we RECOMmEND?
We use four cameras. A GoPro Hero 7, DJI Osmo Pocket, Sony Alpha 6500 with a Sony 16-70mm f/4 lens, and a DJI Mavic Air for our aerial content. Without sacrificing image quality, these cameras are all very packable, which is ideal for traveling and adventures. However, we didn’t start with these cameras. For many years we just used an old GoPro and our phones. Anymore, phones alone are powerful enough tools to capture, edit and share! We started with what we had, then grew from there. Chase Jarvis's popular quote, “the best camera is the one you have with you”, could not have been more true for us when we started capturing our memories.
How do we edit our videos? how did we learn?
We use Final Cut Pro X. We started with iMovie, which is a great place to begin on your phone or computer. If you are just using a phone to edit, iMovie mobile or GoPro Splice are great video editing tools, or use GoPro Quik Stories if you don't want to do the editing yourself! We are completely self taught. We started on the mobile apps and moved to the computer based programs as we learned. If you watch Cody's old videos you will see the learning curve is evident, and the videos are always a work in progress, haha. Just have fun with it! If nothing else, you will immortalize great memories to play back later and relive your favorite trips and experiences - which is why we started doing this in the first place.
What has been our favorite place to visit?
This is a hard one. Everywhere is uniquely different. Cody love's Hood River, Oregon for the amount of recreation there is to do in one place. Sarah loved tropical Puerto Rico, but can we say all of them?!
How do we edit our pHotos?
We use Adobe Lightroom Mobile for our photos because it’s compatible with both your computer and your phone! We use the phone app most because it allows you to edit on the go!
How do we afford to travel?
For some reason, society associates travel with being expensive, or something you have to drop everything to do. We hope our adventures show that this does not have to be the case. We work full time jobs. You could say we subscribe to the “work before play” Motto. When we are playing, we often make our own food, camp, and let the outdoors be our free entertainment. Aside from the costs of gas or flights to go somewhere, the expenses of travel don't have to be in excess of how you live everyday otherwise. Anyone can do it. Don't be afraid to find adventures close to home either, you'll be surprised what there is to explore and discover in your own backyard. You can learn more about how we make travel more frequent and affordable here.
Will we travel to promote A product or service?
Yes, we have partnered with many notable brands we are genuinely passionate about to promote various products and services on our adventures, and through our #AllThingsAdventure social media campaign. If you have an idea or project you feel our unique platform could enhance, contact us. We would love to hear from you.
