I agree with you there brother, lots and lots of work. I was going to go that avenue for route report videos for Adventure Guide like this...



...but it took far far too long and now using GoPro helmet style

It can produce a cool outcome with the right footage/editing though, one of my favorite adventure riding DVDs was done 100% in this manner; solo and in tripod style. He did a fantastic job, great DVD

Thi river crossing in my 2nd Maungatapu Videography vid took 2 camera placings (full size tripod), 4 angles and about 20 minutes.
And then I didn't even use 2 angles...

There are some pleasant surprises when using remote cameras. I was getting some footage of myself walking so placed a camera on the track.
When I got home, there was some great footage of a Fantail playing with the camera and tripod....So, that was cool.
