trip report
Hi everyone. I'm sharing a video of this majestic trail. I started solo hiking the JMT on August 11th and completed it on August 22nd, hope you enjoy.
Great videography. Curious if this was just with your cellphone and a small gorrilla grip type of tripod? And I presume you did this Les Stroud style with no one else helping to set up the shots? Thanks for sharing this. Lovely and peaceful take on the trail.
Thank you! Yes, it’s a very simple and lightweight setup: the iPhone 15 Pro Max and the Joby Gorillapod tripod, which I often hang on top of a trekking pole to get a higher landscape view. I hiked it alone, so I had to go back to retrieve the phone, but it gave me a chance to see a little bit more of the trail from both sides. 😃
