Those look excellent canโ€™t wait for my 3m pole to arrive
I have 4 cameras in total ...

One on my phone, which is a Samsung S22+ - reasonably good for a phone camera, it does RAW photos which I then can tweak in Adobe Lightroom .... results look like this ... advantage is it is always in your pocket ...

My drone, a DJI Mini 2 soon to be replaced with a DJI Mini 4 Pro .... again I usually shoot stills in raw format ... the whole Flymore package is so small and portable, combined with the <250g weight makes it usable anywhere without the legal complexities of flying larger drones.

... my "always get an awesome picture" camera is a Canon Eos R7 with various lenses, my favourite being a EOS RF70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM ... best for moderate distances with incredible detail and an excellent dynamic range, creates nice atmospheric photos and copes with difficult lighting conditions really well ... again shoot in RAW format.

.. and the Insta 360 obviously.

I don't know these waters. But can you please clarify - are you
(a) asserting that you complied with all speed limits in the relevant areas when making the video at the start of this thread? or
(b) suggesting that adherence or not to speed limits when doing these videos is nobody else's business?

Certainly with cars, self posting of videos showing of wilful speeeding has ended up with people prosecuted using their own evidence.

Was this Wednesday by any chance? Two ribs came in from the sea - beautiful day, then we had noisy ribs doing 360's at the sea end of Hamford Water but I guess could be said to be out at sea. Later as we approached the Twizzle/Foundry Reach spit buoy two ribs came planing out from the marina direction & sped up Foundry Reach towards the yacht club. I'm sure it wasn't you though and just the usual nuisance Romford Navy, which thankfully we don't see too much of in the Backwaters.
No that was not us. No donuts done or indeed eaten

You can connect your mobile to the X3 and be able to start / stop and get all the same GPS stats on your video's, saving ยฃ80 (y) on the remote controller.

Perhaps I should have mentioned it earlier :ROFLMAO:

So that isnโ€™t much of a reply to the question as to whether you were knowingly speeding when filming the videos.

Perhaps you should desist from posting videos on YBW if you are breaking the navigation rules as I doubt they would want such content on their site

Yes very true. But I realised that after I spent the ยฃ80 ๐Ÿ˜‚
