4K Mavic Pro Over Guangxi, China
Added 2018-05-13 06:21:39 +0000 UTCDear Insane Children,
I recently traveled from Shanghai to Guangxi, China - landing in Guilin and then making my way by river ferry to Yangshuo. You can check out the things I saw along the way in this travel log video on YouTube.
During the trip I captured a lot of footage with my Mavic Pro and decided to edit that together into 8 minutes of 4k video goodness. The music in this video is "Koto" from Clozee and you can also grab it on YouTube.
Now... as I am getting ready to publish this post I can't seem to get the video to actually play in 4K on YouTube - but that's very likely because I am in China on a really slow Internet connection... let me know in the comments below if you see 4K (or anything higher than 360p) as a quality option. If not I can try another upload or something...
During the summer I plan to travel around China a bit - it's not a great time for sailing in Thailand due it being the Southeast Monsoon. Trying to figure out a couple of places to visit... are there places you've always wanted to see in China? Let's make a list and I'll pick a top suggestion and head there to capture some adventure. Yeah?
Look forward to your feedback and suggestions in the comments below.
Oh... the Chaos Coin design came in while I was gone... and I think there's some new art from Joey here as well... Hmmm... all in the next update! :P

2018-08-30 12:55:56 +0000 UTCHave you been to Zhangjiajie? The nature there is amazing, it's very touristy though! I will personally be visiting Chengdu and Zhangjiajie this summer, and will also be doing a Yangtze river cruise :)

2018-05-13 13:55:03 +0000 UTCHakka walled villages would be a fun place to fly your drone. But this is not what you should be the most concerned about on a birthday trip :D
Make Nine Inch Nails great again
2018-05-13 09:08:50 +0000 UTCI got to watch the 4K goodness. Dear gods... it is beautiful. Pick up some new eyeballs for me too, please? I think it may just have been a rendering thing Youtube does. The higher quality options become available later once it's done being optimized on Youtube's servers. I too am interested in the Great Wall. Or the Summer Palace. Maybe the Forbidden City? They all seem really cool.
2018-05-13 08:02:34 +0000 UTCIt's actually pretty cool... if for no other reason just due to scale. The place is massive and can take quite a while to walk around and see it all. Beijing is, in general, a pretty cool city when it comes to the things you can see and do inside the city itself (such as Forbidden City). I'm trying to find far-flung places I can travel to on my own... places that are a bit more off the beaten path.

2018-05-13 06:59:12 +0000 UTCI've been to the Great Wall outside of Beijing and it was "OK" ... never been to the Terracotta` warriors but I've heard the whole setup is actually a big letdown. Apparently not a very good presentation and after you've seen one terracotta warrior, you've seen them all. Dunno... not super high on my list... but we'l add the suggestion to the list anyway :) I do think Yan and I are planning to go out towards Chengdu, Sichuan ... for her birthday trip sometime in June. So we may end up stopping by and seeing this anyway.

2018-05-13 06:57:49 +0000 UTCIf you come across some earballs in your search for eyeballs, let me know! I preemptively need some. The highest quality option I get is 1080p. Looks gorgeous. Perhaps a bit turisty clichΓ©, but I'd really like to see The Great Wall and/or The Terracotta Army.
2018-05-13 06:51:32 +0000 UTCOooh can't wait for new art!!! I've always wanted to visit the forbidden city in Chinaπ it seems so mysterious and beautiful and peaceful there π
2018-05-13 06:29:52 +0000 UTCBtw, it seems like "higher quality may not be available on newly uploaded videos" (per YouTube) so I think we're just waiting a while for the 4k option to arrive. When it does... wow. We watched it on the 4k projector last night and my eyeballs exploded. Woo! (Note to self: buy new eyeballs).
