Canyonlands NP to Monument Valley Road Trip Southwest USA National Parks Trip - Part 7.1. Driving POV in 4K HDR. This road trip was part of a 16 days hiking trip to the Southwest USA national parks, preserves and monuments, April 2023. In this trip I visited Death Valley, Zion, Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef, Arches, Canyonlands, Monument Valley, The Grand Canyon, Mojave and Joshua Tree. This video was shot using a GoPro 11 and a DJI Mini 3 Pro drone (see links below). Two days before this hike, my GoPro and Insta360 cameras lenses were damaged while hiking in Bryce Canyon and Capitol Reef. These are noticeable in parts of this video. I got the replacement lenses only a few days later when arriving at the Grand Canyon. ** Buy me coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/rubihammer Primary hiking gear used in this trip: ** Garmin inReach Mini 2, Compact Satellite Communicator (Amazon affiliate paid link): https://amzn.to/3N2R4aC ** Black Diamond Z-folding Carbon Trekking Poles (Amazon affiliate paid link): https://amzn.to/3R3iUVt ** Salomon Advanced Skin 12L Trail Running Vest Backpack (Amazon affiliate paid link): https://amzn.to/3uG0gcT ** Salomon Advanced Skin 15L Trail Running Vest Backpack Amazon affiliate paid link): https://amzn.to/3uG0gcT ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Video recording gear used in this trip: ** iPhone 14 Pro ** SmallRig filming iPhone case (Amazon affiliate link), https://amzn.to/3TrvhMI ** Peak Design Cuff Camera Wrist Strap (Amazon affiliate link), https://amzn.to/3NC4OYh ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Insta360 X3 - 360 degrees Action Camera (Amazon affiliate link), https://amzn.to/3YXjKa4 ** Insta360 3m 9.8ft (3 meter) Selfie Stick (Amazon affiliate link), https://amzn.to/3XAkznM ** Insta360 X3 Sticky Lens Guards (Amazon affiliate link), https://amzn.to/3GJQ8F9 ** Insta360 X3 Utility Frame (Amazon affiliate link), https://amzn.to/3kkqS0D ** insta360 X3 Spare Batteries (Amazon affiliate link), https://amzn.to/3IRefnJ ** insta360 X3 Batteries Charger (Amazon affiliate link), https://amzn.to/3ZBVPNZ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** GoPro Hero 11 (Amazon affiliate link), https://amzn.to/3WiG648 ** GoPro Max lens (Amazon affiliate link), https://amzn.to/3NKmT6E ** GoPro Spare Enduro Batteries (Amazon affiliate link), https://amzn.to/3LU3EZa ** GoPro Freewell ND filters (Amazon affiliate link), https://amzn.to/3SPGuWo ** GoPro Performance Chest Mount (Amazon affiliate link), https://amzn.to/3NT2Gim ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** DJI Mini 3 Pro drone fly more combo (Amazon affiliate link), https://amzn.to/3eY5efL ** Freewell ND filters for DJI Mini 3 Pro drone (Amazon affiliate link), https://amzn.to/3KWTAQn ** DJI Mini 3 Pro drone protective battery bags (Amazon affiliate link), https://amzn.to/3WAMymL ** Propeller Holder for DJI Mini 3 Pro (Amazon affiliate link), https://amzn.to/3IOdJoX ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Lexar 1066x 256GB MicroSD card (Amazon affiliate link), https://amzn.to/3dAQ7ZH ** Samsung Pro Plus 512GB MicroSD card (Amazon affiliate link), https://amzn.to/3ji66hI ** SanDisk 512GB Extreme MicroSDXC card (Amazon affiliate link), https://amzn.to/3BPur4N ** SmallRig SD cards case (Amazon affiliate link), https://amzn.to/3VkOPBv DISCLAIMER: Links included in this description might be Amazon affiliate links.
