Eye-level, iPhone, selfie stick, and iWatch!
This is one of the occasions when I use my iPhone 12 Pro Max attached to a selfie stick to film animal encounters on the eye-level of the subjects. I used the 2.5x lens on the phone to capture this video. The camera remote app on my iWatch let me control the phone even if I could not see the screen.
The resulting video of these two mating Thanda Safari Lions is looking good!

Warning!
This little Thanda Safari Elephant girl executed a perfect warning attack towards our vehicle and was quite upset when we did not react with the expected respectful retreat. Her mum just watched in – what looked like – parental amusement 😊

A Thanda Safari waterhole drama in four acts!
Act 1
A herd of Cape Buffalo arrives at a waterhole and the mud-bathing Elephants get so alarmed that they run from the water protecting their young.
Act 2
The Elephants realize that the new arrivals are no real threat but are rather small ‘cow-like’ things. So some of them return to the water and chase the Buffalo around.
Act 3
While the Elephants and Buffalo run around a group of Nyala, a family of Warthogs and many different birds arrive to get their share of the water.
Act 4
Only two Elephant bulls remain to suck the pipe which supplies fresh water to the waterhole. Everything has calmed down and all the different species share the place!

iPhone, iWatch, and Selfie Stick
I took this video of one of the Thanda Safari Lionesses with her four cubs having a meal. To get on eye level with them I used a selfie stick with my iPhone, and I used my iWatch to control the recording.
