I´m retiring my GoPros 👾

This is not all of the news for sure but just wanted to share as I´m fully returned.. you know from these days of full of .. well, 1 picture would tell more than 1000´s of words I´m aware and here we go:

videos will follow, however, I could just transfer all and even could not check what I recorded as there are hours and hours videos with literally thousands of files..

just to show variety,

it was all days and nights, full and full with plenty of interesting surprises all around..

These and more are coming..

now preparing for the Halloween events already..

Some good news about my camera setup and the quality of our upcoming productions!

As you probably know, I've been filming with 18 cameras simultaneously, capturing our scenes from as many different angles and perspectives as possible. And I'm constantly looking for ways to make everything even better.

Well, I've finally decided to retire my two GoPros! They've served their purpose, but I've never been completely satisfied with their image quality, especially in low-light conditions.

Remember once I had 10 GoPros.. in 2016 yes, I had all those.. in time I retired a few and bought newer ones and in the last five years we had only four and last two years only two..

And the replacements? Quite an upgrade!

📱 iPhone 18 Pro, a fantastic new addition to my filming setup, above you see with a light blue cover..

📱 iPhone 18 Pro Max, which I also bought this month. Yes, the gorgeous Burgundy one!

📱 iPhone 16 Pro Max, my former personal phone, now joining the production team as a dedicated camera on which I was very happy especially the video performance..

The GoPros will be replaced by the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, giving us much sharper, cleaner footage, particularly in those challenging positions like the bathroom mirror, kitchen floor, and other unusual camera angles.

But there's potentially another exciting addition!

I've recently discovered the vivo X500 Pro Max, and I'm seriously considering adding it to my setup. It costs almost as much as an iPhone 18 Pro Max and apparently won't be available here until November 6, so I'm still researching.

What really caught my attention is its impressive ZEISS camera system, its huge lenses, and the possibility of more natural-looking photos with less aggressive image processing than the iPhone.

So, we're now looking at more than 20 cameras and smartphones available for our productions!

I've always believed in putting what I earn right back into creating better content, exploring new possibilities, and bringing you something different. Sometimes probably a little more than I should! But that's part of what keeps these productions moving forward.

Video has always been my main focus, with multiple perspectives, unusual angles, and as much detail as possible. But with the Vivo potentially joining the team, I'm also wondering whether it's time to give photography a little more attention.

Perhaps more exclusive, high-quality photos alongside our videos?

Anyway, exciting improvements ahead. Better image quality, more creative freedom, and plenty of new possibilities.

What do you think? Would you like to see more photography from our shoots, too?
