Hi Jean

Dunno if it is a major issue. Computer at work blocks YouTube. Therefore try to watch it on mobile, but gets the message that owner didn't make it available for mobile. I can watch your low flying video via mobile, but not this one. Is their a block to be checked, or is it the format not supported. Just wondering.

P.s. The pics are stunning.!!!!

National Geographic used GoPro's for a Seal Island sortie they asked me to do in a gyro a year ago.
This is one of the striking photo's they sent me afterwards.
Hey Len.

Saw this ad on tv this morning for a program on Nat Geo Wild. Half a second clip of a gyro over a beach somewhere. Might it be familiar?

Thanx to PVR I got this screenshots with my cellphone.

Howzit Jean,

Louis Chanu has just mounted a camera on the nose of his Challenger, using a combination of foam and rubber to give a zero vibration on the lens. I have seen some of the footage he has shot and it is unbelievable. Give him a ring on 0823049696

Cheers

Ian

Jean.

Very Cool.
Indeed the still from the video can surprise on sometimes.

Nice Shot Jean.
