Hi All

On that recent trip up to following the Senqu to Mokhotlong we used a Go Pro to film aspects of the trip. All I can is that berg is such an incredible place to use the Go Pro. They both compliment each other so well. The bergs grandeur and the Go Pros technology.

My wife, who has not been up into berg for over 4 years due to a nerve disease started to get bit emotional because the Go Pro brought the bergs beauty back into our living room that she has so dearly missed.

We got some super footage that I made into an iMovie of the trip. Cannot wait to show it to my two hiking mates.

I know they are pricy but if you can buy one they add another dimension to your memories of a trip and if a few of you have them you can do so much with all of the clips.

I can upload one clip but they are a bit big - 100MG's plus - so not sure if it will be worth it.

Regards
Selous

You can always do a compilation and post it on youtube :thumbsup:

When I did my buff competition video last year (that won me an Icebreaker light weight winter hiking shirt) I just used Windows Live Movie Maker and got the 2 minute high quality video down to about 30mb.

Hi Ghaz
Let me know if this Clip works. It's about 55mb. Hope the quality comes through.

I will get the You Tube link done over the weekend and hopefully get the size reduced.

Nice one Selous!

Maybe you can compress the videos a bit so you can upload some longer ones?

I'd be keen to see some more footage :thumbsup:

Edit: Sorry I see you're already planning to

Really cool! That is roughly what I thought Rockeries Pass would look like...

Looking forward to some videos of Lesotho :thumbsup:

I've also acquired one of these toys and have started go-proing the Berg...really awesome. In terms of posting videos, YouTube is definitely the way to go, rather than uploading them directly to this site. You can then embed the video box into a forum post here for ease of viewing.

Take nothing but litter, leave nothing but a cleaner Drakensberg.

@Selous Enjoyed that snippet of video climbing the pass. Quality looked good. How much more do you have of the climb up Rockeries and around Mponjwane Cave?
