all right very official EW out of Reykjavik and into the Icelandic countryside one of my favorite places in the world we are headed for a waterfall should get there just around sunset and we'll be testing some slow-motion and some other stuff and it's going to be a really awesome place to do I am the messenger all right so we have this side-by-side rig with the 5s and the 6 shooting of the 6 plus and this is gonna be awesome for testing stabilizer panel mode all kind of stuff cuz we can do real-time side-by-side comparison amazing thing about Iceland is it can be storming and raining like crazy and then you can just drive a mile clouds are opening up and it creates this beautiful scene looks like it's about right so fun to be playing with this device that makes it easy to after great images we are rolling up on a beautiful area called Thor's smirk which is a playground of Thor in Icelandic I was looking at the way that the light is hitting the piece and thought it might be an awesome area to test a time lapse so we're doing that and it's pretty easy you just switch it into time-lapse mode and hit go and takes care of everything else and I think it's going to turn into a really awesome piece we just pulled up at the Iceland coastguard flight operations center and we are about to board a training mission where they will be hoisting I think people outside the chopper I may even get hoisted I don't know what's gonna happen they'd be proficient we have to tain this certain amount so many times every month so that's what this this is going to be right before I waste you know some traps okay and the only thing that can go wrong is that if you holding auto race or bring your hands up so you can't hold on to that school okay hold the camera good morning we are here at the yoghurt Chatillon glacial Lagoon and the glaciers are floating in this Lagoon and it's really beautiful they also move they flood around so we decided a time lapse just drove up a random Hill by random I mean we were driving and we saw a street and we said hey let's try that and go for about 30 minutes in the doctor's office mountain and also a enormous structure we're gonna be able to get back up incredible glacier got some killer images of it the tones there's a few shots that are literally zero color it looks like I've already converted to black and white but shot full-color and anyway we got out on the ice a little bit and it was really really special we're on the southwesternmost supervised land and is a really special placing eyes one of my favorite places I've ever seen the lights but it's also beautiful for sunsets and just coastal 30 frames a second we just finished a focused pixels and auto focus continuous auto focus cats to the iPhone 6 plus vs. the iPhone 5s it was a pretty impressive test actually what we did is we we have the cameras mounted side by side - 5s and iPhone 6 you can see the cameras are as close as possible to each other and we held a rock in front of the cameras started enrolling at the same time and here they're tack sharp on the rock at the time it was thrown actually by the time it landed the iPhone six-plus was able to refocus on the water and was tack sharp on the splash in the iPhone 5s actually never did refocus so it's a pretty impressive improvement versus what we've had in the past we are here it's the end of the week and everything comes down to this and we've been dumping footage and editing pictures and assembling everything all night actually I haven't slept yet and we'll be posting my review here in just a couple of hours I hope you've enjoyed it so far and check out the in-depth review on my blog you
