Madagascar Expedition Vlog

[Alexl]

It took quite a long time, but I finally found time to start our expedition blog (or "vlog", I didn't know this word existed) for our last Madagascar trip. There is a video for every day - sometimes I filmed more, sometimes less. But overall you can get a good impression of Madagascar and a bunch of reptiles, including many chameleons.

So far days 1 to day 6 are online, and days 7 to 21 are still coming.

Very cool... Was this the expedition that Bill was on too? I kept seeing the updates on social and it looked absolutely amazing.

No, that's an expedition we did last year only with a few friends due to the harsh conditions in some forests in the north. The usually visited forests in the central east are much more comfortable to visit. We're actually in Madagascar several times a year but never managed to make videos afterwards. Until now!

I need to catch up.

I just watched Day 5 - Marojejy. The video quality is excellent and I really enjoyed the Brookesia photos. In particular, that Brookesia vadoni is very impressive.

I was actually also impressed by the video quality. It's "only" a DJI Pocket, a really small camera! Being an inexperienced video camera user, I, unfortunately, produced a lot of very blurry Brookesia videos. Later it worked a bit better, but small chameleons are a challenge with this camera. But I loved the stability of the footage when walking or driving. The footage would be much bumpier with a different camera.
