Today we launched a new channel, a place where we can show more of the daily stuff we do, some new projects we really want to do and split the content so people get more of what they like without to much mix of content.

We have so many crazy ideas we want to follow up and our ADV channels is probably not the best place to do so. So if you want to follow us and see more of what's coming. here is the second channel: youtube.com/@ThomasRuna

Enjoy

So I just got the new Osmo Action 6 & The Mic 3 from DJI (no I bought it myself) And I can't wait to start test and compare footage, try out the sound, how well it connects, how long it stays connected and how I can use it to make better POV footage of me riding on my bike in upcoming projects.

There will be a in depth video of both the camera and the mic's, maybe compare it up against the Røde Pro and why this might be the better option if you want good audio on your riding footage.
NO!! I will not test it as a vlogging setup with how it performs towards people who ride, shoot and japp in the microphone, this is not how I film and shoot myself 🤣🙈

If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know and I will see what I can make of it in an upcoming video.

Cheers ☕️

The new World Raid was released today from Yamaha 🤩 Subtle changes but damn I like the overall look of this bike as well. And the new White and Red combo.... mmm!

Yes, it has cruise control and I can't wait to find out if that can just be plugged and played on my bike as well.

Enjoying some local roads in what can only be described as 4 season weather up here 😂👏🏻 I still have high hopes that October can have a surprise or two when it comes to the weather, hoping to get at least one more overnighter before the season ends.

We are starting to see some updates to the map layers and overall view of the new web based route planer from Drivemodedashboard. I can't wait to see how the whole ecosystem will speak to each other and how this HUB thing is gonna transform the way we create routes, share routes/tracks inside groups etc.

If you are into Navigation and Route planing you should keep an eye out for the upcoming releases from DMD2.

If you are interested in the route Me and ‪@OffSheGoesADV‬ did up north this year, it is available here: ko-fi.com/s/90804a426c

"No matter what technology you have, it can't compete with a great story" is a great saying by Pixar's John Lasseter.
But how can you tell a story with a picture, only one frame?
A story in a picture is defined by visual cues like composition, light, emotion, and detail, which, when arranged coherently, create a narrative with a beginning, middle, and end.
Storytelling with a single image can be much easier than with video, because you leave much more of the story to the person viewing and their imagination.
I spent countless hours learning to write, hoping to become a better storyteller trough text and nattered stories, but I found photography a much better teacher the last couple of months.
In the end, I’ve realized that storytelling isn’t bound by words, film, or even time. A single frame can hold more meaning than pages of text if it’s honest and intentional. Photography has taught me to strip a story down to its essence, to trust the viewer’s imagination, and to embrace simplicity. And maybe that’s what makes a great story in any form, not how much you tell, but how much you allow others to feel.

I'm currently working on the GPX file from my last trip up North. I will include places to sleep, both camping and wild camping, and see if a can add some of the many great spots we saw on the way.

Yes, it will be available completely free when it's done 🙌🏻

19 hours and 20 minutes of footage 🙈 This is one of the last takes we had at Grense Jakobselv in our last long trip up North.
Long story short. It will take a while to get all this footage sorted, edited and wrap it into something that can remind of a story. I know many of you wait eagerly for the release of this video, but it will take some time. And there will be other videos in the pipeline before and after this video is released.

In the meantime, get out there, enjoy what is left of this season and I make sure to have something worth watching when the cold dark season kicks in 😂🤩

Cheers
