West Papua in 4K

[Robin_Eriksson]

Hello Everybody!

I recently made another trip to some islands in west Papua, Indonesia and this time I brought the RED camera of course.
This is a very interesting area because tourism is pretty low in the area we went.

We travelled for 30 days and stayed on Pulau Biak, Yapen and Supiori.

Equipment used:
RED Scarlet-W with various lenses from Samyang and Nikon from 14mm to 105mm Macro.
Devin Graham series Glidecam.
All shot in RAW and mostly in 4K 120fps.

First time I did a complete project in Davinvi Resolve and I really enjoyed it for color grading purposes. I had some issues with audio editing, I don't know how to use all the features
Now it's time to plan the next trip.

Enjoy

Nice one, thanks for sharing. How did you like the DGS glide cam?

 

[Robin_Eriksson]

I had a few problems with it but setting it up is easy. Had it strapped to the side of my backpack all the time.

Positive
The top plate is brilliant and superfast to adjust. I normally balance the whole thing in around a minute.
It works in heavy rain and all weather conditions

Drawbacks:
The screw that adjusts the height of the pole is very stiff on my unit. Even though you twist it with hand force as hard as you can the pole slips out as you move. So every now and then you have to re-adjust the height of the pole. This also makes the bottom part with weights turn so it gets out of alignment
The plates where weights are attached moves sometimes and one gets stuck about halfway from outer position.

I’ll try to clean it and see how it works out. Still it’s the best I’ve ever used Would happily recommend it.

Great work!

I went to PNG 4 years ago with Czech production Escape to nature and that was the best adventure in my life. Fell in love with Papua

 

[Robin_Eriksson]

Yes, it is a great place Now I've been too often to that part of the world and need to see other stuff for a while.
My mates that I travelled with loved it.

Nice video you made too Dragan!
