Today Olympus introduced the new E-M5 Mark III! A few weeks ago I already had the opportunity to put it through a tough practical test at the Gate to Hell! A first conclusion incl. first example pictures you can find here in my interview with Martin Wagner:
Our Kilimanjaro climb with an e-bike has been published in the current BIKE BILD magazine under the appropriate title “Crater Mood”.
Another article has been published in German “Systemkamera Handbuch” about me and the advantages of Olympus equipment in my some kind extreme shooting environments.
Only two days to go… Only two days to go. Trained a lot within past month with MTB and eMTB: 981 Kilometer and 29.160 meters difference in altitude – and nevertheless am very curious what to expect 🙂 [ngg_images tag_ids=”ngg_kibo17_blog16″ display_type=”photocrati-nextgen_basic_thumbnails” override_thumbnail_settings=”1″ thumbnail_width=”75″ thumbnail_height=”75″]
Olympus magazine has published some pictures and informations about my recent Antarctica expedition.
Real thriller The Kilimanjaro project drives me nuts. Batteries are still in Europe, flight has been canceled. Next plane will leave on Saturday but we only will fly four days later, it’s becoming a real thriller…
Making Of Shooting Did a lot of test shooting today as also captured some „making of“ and some footage for a trailer. Means storyboard nearly is done for Kilimanjaro e-Bike project and yeah, just one week to go!

My article about our exclusive Antarctica expedition to the most remote place on Earth at Mount Sidley volcano just has been published by German Outdoor Magazin.
First e-Bike Training in local Taunus This week I first time had the chance to test my Kilimanjaro bike in local Taunus mountains. Am no Pro but this bike is a monster 😉 And of course I still do use the training to test some picture angles and to optimize the Kibo storyboard – being […]
Family holiday in Austria In Juliy/August I’ve spent a three weeks holiday with my family in Austria, Steiermark region. Had a great time within a great mountain backdrop with: clear reflecting lakes, salt mine, fantastic caves, marvelous panoramas, fresh mountain air, bright sunshine, rare animals and a lot of bathing fun. All pictures are taken […]
Training in Austria Finally got my eBike for the Kibo project (Scott E-Genius 700 Plus Tuned). During holiday with family in Austria I had the possibility to test it in the mountains and doing some first tests about battery life. Biked sometimes from Altaussee at the Panoramastraße up to Loser mountain, 11 km with an […]
My first MTB experiences Already my first experience riding a mountain bike in 2005 has been very dirty 🙂 And offered pure thrills at one of the worlds most dangerous roads in Bolivia while going down from La Paz at 4.700m down to the jungle and Yolosa at 1.100m. With at that time many upcoming […]
Remote Control App for camera Tip for the Olympus Ol.Share App. You can switch the settings/ modus for remote control usage from Live View to Remote Control. Then you’ll get a really huge release button which is much more less dangerous to press while biking 🙂 [ngg_images tag_ids=”ngg_kibo17_blog5″ display_type=”photocrati-nextgen_basic_thumbnails” override_thumbnail_settings=”1″ thumbnail_width=”75″ thumbnail_height=”75″]
Mount Sidley Expedition Finally online in the official Olympus version. The trailer from our exclusive Antarctica expedition to Mount Sidney shot with the E-M1 Mark II:
Bike Selfies Playing a bit with the Olympus Ol.Share App using it as a remote control for my E-M1 MarkII (with the 8mm Fisheye lens) to be able to shoot new angles just by myself 🙂 [ngg_images tag_ids=”ngg_kibo17_blog4″ display_type=”photocrati-nextgen_basic_thumbnails” override_thumbnail_settings=”1″ thumbnail_width=”75″ thumbnail_height=”75″]
First Test Footage First test footage for my actual Kilimanjaro project. Testing various camera angles while riding my bike. It’s not that easy to ride a bike with only one hand while filming with the other one and eyes being focused on best angle – ouch 🙂 Next step will be to film best angles […]
Preparations and camera angles Another preparations for Kilimanjaro. Writing a storyline for training and the related Making Of. And puzzling out how best to fix camera.

Training for the jungle Beginning of my training for Kilimandscharo at let’s say not the best weather conditions. But as a volcano hunter I love it to be dirty and muddy 🙂 And with wet roots and rocks a perfect training for the jungle part.

Toilets in Antarctica We are at the base camp, with the volcano Mount Sidley in front of us. It measures 4.300 m (14.100 feet) and hardly anyone has ever climbed it before. All around us is a seemingly endless ice-plataeu. Nature at its best! Or at least almost, for this perfect impression is disturbed by […]
Arriving with the Iljuschin IL76 A real beast and for me the queen of all airplanes: the Iljuschin IL-76. Loud, powerful, fast, tremendous. Actually a cargo plane, so we are cramped into our seats which were carelessly built-in and offer space for about 60 passengers. Apart from two little portholes there are no windows. The […]
