Mount Antero. Buena Vista, CO. Solo.

Mount Antero is awesome. There isn't anything particularly hard (beginning is probably the worst) but the views are stunning. If you don't like shelf roads where a mistake could have your car rolling for a couple minutes this may not be your jam. On this particular day filming was very tough. There were cloud blankets, rain, scattered clouds, sun peeking under the blanket and lighting it up, no clouds, everything moving very fast. At first it kind of bothered me not being able to see the many peaks this trail offers but after embracing the unique look I love it. I was in my own little world like they hadn't done the backgrounds in my video game yet. Once in awhile light would show through spots while the rest was dark and everything became clear but I now prefer only seeing the task at hand. I only have one 2sec clip of actual Antero before it was engulfed in the clouds. At this point I was slightly nervous and decided to head down. Of course when I got halfway down all the weather left and the light was perfect. With my own agenda for the evening (and after 7hrs filming) I decided to grab two more shots and continue downwards. This thing is epic, have fun out there!

My Tires:
https://amzn.to/2whk2MF

I love these tires. The only others I'd take are the BFG KO2 but they don't make them in this size and the KM2's are amazing. You can probably imagine the amount of driving I do weekly and how much abuse my tires get.

My Tire Deflators:
https://amzn.to/2nYVxzU

These tire deflators have many $15 copies but the others just don't hold up or are inaccurate. I don't know what the deal is, they look identical to me too but read the reviews- they're bad. I've been using these Staun's for over a year and never had a problem, I air down a lot. Set them at the trail so your tires will be the same temp when you get to the trail next time.

My Compressor:

There are better ones but I'd just get a bigger VIAIR, not someone different. Airs up all my 33's from 14psi to 37psi in less than 10 minutes. The in-line gauge is inaccurate when the compressor is on because of the pressure passing through. You need to switch it off to get a real reading. You can combat this by figuring out what incorrect reading corresponds to the real one. When mine is right at 3 Bar (43psi) it's slightly over 37psi. I put it on another tire and then use my real gauge to set it exactly.

My Microphone:

My microphone is the worst good mic you can get. BUT don't be fooled, it's a very good mic. Picture me getting in my car for the 50th time after I just ran up and down a hill... for the 50th time. Do you see me disconnecting my mic and gingerly setting it in a case? No. It stays connected to the tripod, gets thrown into my plastic cargo area and bounces around with other heavy items until the next one. It gets terrible interference from WiFi so you must make sure that it's off on your camera or phone. If you are trying to use this with your phone you need to get a TRS to TRRS cable which RODE makes. This is required because your phone will think the mic is headphones.

My Tripod:
https://amzn.to/2o8h6hL

I went through 2 tripods in 1 month, a $20 and a $30. Buy it nice or buy it thrice. This thing gets opened and closed MANY times per week in rain, snow, dirt, and even in the middle of rivers. I love the 2-stage legs so i can make it real low in 2sec instead of shortening all the legs.

My Drone:
https://amzn.to/2KUGWAp

You can tell how easy it was to progress through my videos. Besides maybe five times, you've seen every bit of flying since I got it. I don't fly in the city and I don't go to the mountains and not make a video. It is VERY easy to use.

My Drone ND Filters:
https://amzn.to/2MHV0R0

The filters are a must. Again I have the worst ones and I am still very pleased. My first use was video #35 and I think it is very apparent. Illinois Gulch (#34 obviously) has a completely white sky, way too much blue. I'm still not even good about selecting the right one or changing them out but it's 10x better than nothing.

This is the stuff I've tested, this is what I like. I am very hard on all of my equipment frequently and it still works. I back all of these items and each company seems to back their product very well too. I guess it's easy to offer a warranty when your stuff doesn't break.
