I highly recommend a visit. Also, Slab City is right behind Salvation Mountain, and everyone we met there was super friendly. I ...

The badlands of Anza Borrego Desert are really cool. We hiked a slot canyon called “The Slot,” and it snaked along until it was really narrow and tall—beautiful.

The high-end MōVI stabilized camera system is based on the same brushless gimbals we use for stabilized aerial imaging work. I put this handheld GoPro HERO3 gimbal together in just a few minutes using a Rotorpixel HERO3 gimbal (http://rotorpixel.com), an Opteka X-Grip, 2S LiPo battery, 4 x AA battery housing, and a servo tester.
