Sub-zero hovering

[John Robertson]

Spectacular winter scenery and beautiful sunsets - flat calm water and no wind, unfortunately the temperature only reached a tropical minus 2C - it was -6C when the sun started to go down at 3:30PM!

You do certainly have some beautiful scenery up there! I must try and get there this year....

What camera do you use John?

Stay safe,

Oops- just noticed that the first 30secs of the video is a clip from another location altogether (River Tweed in October)! I'll fix it later.

I use a Fuji S5700/5800/5900 (can't remember which model exactly). It was a cheapo SLR style still digital camera which takes video at 640x480 30fps. It's perfect for hover work as the batteries seem to last for hours and it saves having to carry both a video AND still camera.

Thanks John, still beautiful where ever you "play"
