So, the video you are about to discover is not just another travel video shot with a flip camera or Smartphone on the go… it is an amazing, beautiful and well edited film!

Scott spent two weeks backpacking Thailand with his girlfriend – floating markets, bareback elephant riding, playing with tigers, scuba diving, longboats, overnight sleeper trains, mopeds, Buddhist temples, night markets and more. Southeast Asia has endless possibilities for adventure – enjoy the video and book the next flight to Bangkok!

Shot entirely with the GoPro Hero3: Black Edition and used the XShot 2.0 extender pole.

Thank you Scott for taking us all the way to Thailand and for your XShot love…

Just uploaded a video on backpacking Thailand for 2 weeks, all shot with a GoPro.

XShot gives  me the opportunity to take full advantage of my iPhone as a camera and video camera for all my business and personal needs.  I use it every day from taking photos of clients posture, recording videos of myself or staff for YouTube, Facebook, and my blog to Facetime with my wife and kids when I am on a business trip.  Thank you XShot!

Customer service from Ms. April was terrific. She went above and beyond to assure that my camera extender will arrive before our vacation departure. Great representative of your company. Thank you and look forward to utilizing your product. 

On the way to Spring Break or preparing your summer travels, you may want to gear up with some cool travel items and gadgets. Merilee Kern with Luxe List shows some exciting new travel gear on San Diego 6 CW TV show.

We particularly loved the WineCruzer 8-Pack Pro wine bottle carrier. "Whether the oenophile chooses to bring their own bottles to restaurants or on vacation,  share some with loved ones miles and miles away, or visit their favorite wineries, this is a must-have travel companion." 

Quite amazing piece of equipment that could have been useful while visiting Stellenbosch South African vineyards!

Safe travels!
