Whistler Creekside Vacation April 2025 - GetFitOver40

Last week we had a really nice mini vacation (4 nights 5 days) in Whistler BC Canada, we actually stayed in our WorldMark Timeshare Resort just outside of Whistler Village located in Creekside. It's a really nice loft condo on the side of the mountain overlooking Alpha Lake and it sleeps up to 8 people so we did have a few guests come and stay with us for some of the time.

One of our favorite things to do in Whistler area is ride around on electric vehicles, my wife usually rides the eBike and I usually ride my EUC but this time I also brought my Electric Mountainboard and had a lot of fun on that one too!

So you are going to see a lot of trail riding recorded by a bunch of different cameras, most from my HoverAir X1 ProMax AI flying selfie drone, some from my Meta Glasses and I also flew some of my FPV drones. My Avata 2, my BetaFPV Meteor65 Pro 04, and my BetaFPV Pavo Pico with DJI 04 Air Unit.

If you want to see what the trails in Whistler look like there is a lot of that going on in this video, mainly we stuck to the paved forest trails but we did ride a loop to Lost Lake and then to Green Lake which is more dirt and gravel.

Hope you enjoy the beauty of Whistler and Creekside.

Whistler and Birch Bay Summer Holiday

My wife and I just came back from a wonderful trip to Whistler BC Canada where we stayed 5 nights, then we traveled a few hours to Birch Bay Washington US for 3 more nights.

We stayed in our WorldMark Timeshare which is always very enjoyable and invited up some good friends and relatives to come and join us for part of each trip. It was a lot of fun being able to spend some of our vacation time with good people!

It was a vacation first and foremost but I like to document my trips al least to some degree with video. So I am able to share parts of the vacation with everyone using my Meta Glasses, HoverAir X1 Selfie Drone, Insta360 X4 and GO2 cameras and even a drone shot of me playing around flying my mini Pavo Pico FPV Drone around the hotel in Whistler.

I hope you enjoy the video of our various walks, outings and just simpel hotel lounging around. If you are thinking of going for a vacation in Whistler or Birch Bay, this video may give you a bit of an idea of what you can expect.

Head Tracking with the DJI Avata FPV Drone - And Some Other Fun Stuff

I always have so much fun either flying around my First Person View DJI Avata Drone getting that feeling of actually flying, or getting a similar feeling riding my KingSong S22 EUC on trails and in traffic. I know it is a lot different watching versus doing but hopefully this video gives you a bit of an idea on how that feels. Special thanks to my HoverAir X1 Flying Camera Drone and the Ray-Ban Meta Camera Glasses for capturing what it looks like riding an EUC (Electric Unicycle) from different perspectives.

When flying my DJI Avata FPV Drone, I was using head tracking with the motion controller which allows me to control the flight path using the motion controller, while at the same time being able to look around in various directions while still flying which ever direction the motion controller was pointing towards. It does take a bit of practice as at fist it feels like you should be going where you are looking, but this is not the case. This setup allows for more of a "manual controller" look to the video as you can circle an object and center it much better in the camera view than using the motion controller on its own.

Ray Ban Meta Glasses Riding an EUC

I got my Ray Ban Meta AI Camera Glasses not just because they look cool and shade me from the sun. One of the main reasons was to create video content that perhaps I can not make as easily or form a similar point of view as wearing the glasses right on your face so you get to see pretty much exactly what I see.

This is all fine and dandy as long as the video looks and sounds good, and I can actually use the video taken while out and about in a variety of situations. So I figured what better way then to test my Ray Ban Meta AI Smart Glasses while riding my Kingsong KS22 EUC and record a bunch of video with me rambling on in the background.

I have to say I am impressed with not only the video quality including the stabilization and the field of view that was recorded but even when riding fast at speeds up to 60kmh, there was virtually zero wind noise and I can tell you what I was hearing a lot of noise while actually riding so I expected to hear this in the recording which I did not. Very impressive!

The Ray Ban Meta Glasses do only record in portrait mode (at least at this time? which is not ideal for landscape YouTube videos so I took the liberty to show various zoom and pan setting for those that may want to show a wider aspect ratio more suitable for YouTube. Another kind of silly limitation with the Ray Ban Meta Glasses is that you can only record 1 minute videos so I did have to splice together the video which worked just fine as Meta let's me know when the camera is recording and when it's not with an indicator light I can see while wearing them and an audible sound when recording stops.

I can honestly say I was surprised at how well the Ray Ban Meta Glasses worked in this situation and plan to make similar riding videos with them in the future.

Ray Ban Meta Matt Versus Glossy Black

When I made my initial Ray Ban Meta unboxing and initial thoughts video, I mentioned that I wanted to switch them from the sunglass only version lens to the transition lens which is clear while inside but transitions to sunglasses when outside in the sun.

Well I finally got my new Ray Ban Meta transition lens version so I can now compare the two version in terms of how they look since my Transition Ray Ban Metas have the matt black frames and my Ray Ban Meta Sunglass version has the glossy frames. Both versions look good to me but I think I prefer the matt black frames. I for sure prefer the transition lenses as I want to be able to use my Ray Ban Meta AI Smart Glasses all the time, not just outside in the sun.
