Buh bye! Tomorrow I will start to pull all my videos from Vimeo and transfer them to another platform.
That's not because playback performance remains a problem after half a decade.
It's because Vimeo cannot even assure the safety of my account any more.
It could be deleted at any moment.

@mojo43, I'd also love to hear your tips on crafting the audio tracks.  Your videos have a ton of great sound effects to sell the transitions and action, which makes a huge difference.  Be curious to hear where you get your effects, how you choose and edit them, etc.

I'm with you - there's a reason I'm behind the camera!
I watched a 10-hour BTS of a wedding videographer editing a wedding video (10 hours because it was start to finish) and he was just kind of talking through what he was doing, almost thinking out loud, and that mini-scene thing was one of the many nuggets that I got from that.
I tend to think of it like little stories joined up for bigger stories joined up to make one large story.
I'm not very good at it, but for one of my home travel videos of a family trip I might select the most interesting or photogenic places or activities that we did, then break each one down into the key parts of it (we arrived, we looked around, we climbed up to the lookout, we climbed down again, we discovered our shoes were all dirty..  or whatever!) then for each on of those I make sure that it tells a little story with a few shots.  Of course, I have the advantage that the story in my videos is about what happened and so I cut in basically the order that things happened in, whereas with a travel film about a place then you can mix and match shots and things get a lot more complicated in the edit room.

That mini scenes advice I try to remember. Good one!

I just created the first video of hopefully more about how to create a Good Travel Video. All based on my experiences and past, but wanted to see if you guys/gals had any thoughts around things that you would want to see and if you are even interested at all??

Excellent start, and +1 for more videos!!
Everybody on YT has had a go at making a how-to for travel film-making and somehow basically none of them get past having an ND filter and buying their LUT.  ???
I'd love to hear about getting close to people, as well as all the artistic elements that also never get spoken about.  Why you chose one shot instead of another shot in the final edit, how you colour graded to match the location instead of the latest trend, how you choose which places to go, when to use drone footage moving forwards vs backwards, how all that contributes to the story-telling, etc etc.

Really great advice in it. Well done. And Yeah I want to see more LoL. ☺️

Thanks. It looks like the Pilotfly C45 is specifically designed for the RX100.
I was making a more general point about it being an odd idea to control a camera on a gimbal with a smartphone app as you cannot hold the gimbal in one hand & operate an app one handed with the other.
It's odd that Zhiyun have dropped the Crane M & not replaced it with anything. There is no other gimbal they make that covers the 150-600g camera range. The RX100 is about 300g.
I'll probably look out for a used Crane M.

Now you are just being picky
I actually had a senior moment and meant to link to the mods to the Smooth 4, which is now the preferred option over the Q.
The Q is still workable if you are just using it wide or if you have a handle mounted side grip to take your phone as a viewfinder through the Sony app, so it would be akin to a higher quality DJI Osmo.
The Smooth 4 is a better option though.
 

People have been having some success modifying the Smooth Q for the RX100 for a very minimal (size and cost) setup.
There are a couple of different branded (JJC and Fotga being two of them) versions of the Sony wired remote which will give you Start/Stop and Zoom controls for about £20 to use with any gimbal.
Or, like here, combined with the Smooth Q mod.

It is one of the tougher areas in production sound to make a full time living from. 
But yes, would be fun to do! Would be one of my idle dreams as well to have. 
 

What kind of problems are you having? to me it seems much more solid.
Wow that's some serious auto correct problems in my title!
