There's no need to be smug I'm sharing my experience with hyperlapsing.
I know Kiril and the other guys who are the best in the game regarding hyperlapses. My skill level isn't so high, but it also isn't far behind. And from my experience, it's not worth it from a financial perspective. Then again, I'm not traveling to Dubai, Shanghai and other cities where there is a maybe a higher need for these types of videos.
