Defender first time offroad video

[morrisdl]

Tried this trail a month ago and transmission spectacularly blew a gasket before I even got to any wheel spinning.
Repaired and returned to the same trail for some redemption. No cheesy music, just TDI snorts and whistles:


Unintentionally the 300tdi did 'roll-coal' on the Jeep 4xE a few times.
I couldn't get the center diff to lock, which made things a little more fun.
This was my shakedown run for Uwharrie next week. Anyone else going?

Cool video.

Give me a brief rundown on how you shot it.

Thanks! Insta360 OneX camera on the 'invisible' selfie stick and heavy duty bar clamp. Basically records all 360 degrees and then I export out what 16:9 section I want after the fact. The two lens overlap a bit to automatically stitch-out the selfie stick. ...This is youtube overview of the newer version X3 but does a much better job of explaining how it works and some excellent examples. Basically perfect f camera or narcissistic owners ;-)
