Walking by the Sea with a Garmin Virb

Reading Time: < 1 minute
Do you walk by the sea and watch the seagulls fly up with something in their beak and then drop it? I did, this morning. I walked by the sea and filmed. You can see the G-force climb up and down with each step. Unfortunately the Garmin virb doesn’t self-level so the footage is lopsided, making the mediterranean look as if it has a slope. If that wasn’t the case I would share the video on YouTube. Several minutes of seagulls, sea waves and more.

I didn’t know that seagulls lifted things, and then dropped them into the sea. Maybe they’re trying to get clams and oysters to open. Either that or they’re a little clumsy. I don’t think that they’re clumsy. I think that they’re deliberate.

If I had used the DJI Osmo mini (or whatever it’s called, I forget) the footage would be smooth, and level, but I buy such devices and rarely have the niche opportunity to use them so I leave them at home when I travel or for walks.

I could have shot 4K video, and then stabilised the video in post-production as 1080p video. Maybe another time.
