"Korea Dreambus" Pilgrimage and Documentary Film

Pardon the kitchen counter! This morning I charged up my DJI Osmo Pocket II and battery handle to start taking some test runs with it. I may edit something together with that footage, as nonsensical as it is.  In the photo at right, you see my small backpack and the gear bag. To the far right on the counter is the handle/stick with the cradle for the Osmo and the clamp for the iPhone, which serves as a monitor. Just to the left of that is the camera itself, with its "hood" on to project the lens.  Every time I put the hood on it, I think of a hawk. Nestled into the gear bag are cables, the microphone and its accessories, and the SD and microSD cards and card reader. The photos below show the gear back packed and closed. By the way, the entire camera, microphone and accessories package was generously supplied by a local filmmaker, my friend Nate, who sold this to me for far less than I would've paid on Amazon or any other used camera outlet.

Yesterday I bought the camera I will take to Korea on this pilgrimage to record my journey:  the DJI Osmo Pocket 2 .  A local filmmaker friend of mine who makes some insanely awesome Star Wars fan films sold me this camera, as he had purchased a more recent version of it. He loaded it with useful and nifty accessories and showed me the basics of how to operate it. I will spend much of my summer playing with it and creating trial videos which I hope to upload here.  I still need to get some hardware to use the SD cards with my MacBook Air, and at some point, this lightweight laptop will have to be replaced by something that can handle video more easily. I also plan to bring along my iPhone to use for closer detail images and for the possibility of someone else shooting with me, should that situation arise. I have been making due with an iPhone 8, but this summer I will buy a refurbished iPhone12Pro or 13Pro.
