DJI OSMO POCKET CINEMATIC VIDEO WITH PGYTECH ND FILTER / Xi'an Hepingmen to South Gate
Today the weather was much better, so I took my DJI Osmo Pocket for a walk again, using the PGYTech ND filters once more. At different times throughout the video I used the 8, 16, and 32 filter. I walked from Xi'an's Heping Gate to the South Gate, past the City Wall, Beilin Museum, and through the Artist Quarter.
Everything was filmed in 1080p, as my old laptop can handle this format better than 4k. I'm very pleased with the results. Let me know your thoughts in the comments below.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
