Video diary from Chile to US
 

Hi Guys

I started a MC tour in Chile in October 2007 and I´m continuing in 2008. I do a video diary and upload new episodes every once in a while. Here´s the first 30 videos traveling through Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Panama and soon Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala, Belize, Mexico and US:



NB: Sorry my first tread didn´t show the video playlist as I hoped so here´s one video from Bolivia offroad experience. See all my videos by visiting: YouTube - kaiserkyhl's Channel

Hi Patrick

Yeah, now there´s a video that works and a link ;-)

I brought an expensive Canon HV10 High Definition video camera. I was very happy to begin with because it records beautiful video and is very small and handy, but after a couple of month it stopped working and wouldn´t charge the batteries.

So I had to ship it to Denmark by DHL to repair it on the warranty, since Canon´s warranty only works in the country of purchase. It cost me $100 dollars to sent it from La Paz, Bolivia and I had to buy a small camera while waiting. So I bought a Nikon Coolpix S6, which has been working perfectly, but the quality is poor and only just works for the Youtube showcases. I had hoped to make a full quality program when I got back to try an sell to Danish TV, but that idea is dead now.

And finally I got the Canon camera back some weeks later in Cali, Colombia (which cost me another $200 DHL), did one episode and it stopped working again - crap!

I tried to talk to Canon in Panama, but they refuse to help and I won´t ship it back to Denmark again. DO NOT BUY CANON!!

Concerning your other questions. I love having a kind of purpose and love the process of editing the videos on my laptop. (MacBook intel)

I carry a Gorilla grip tripod, which can be mounted anywhere. Very smart!
