Swanage Climbing!

Had a day off so headed to Swanage for a lil climbing with the old man! Was a wicked chance to try out comparison footage between the GoPro HD1 & HD2 and also the new WiFi BacPac. I found the WiFi BacPac really useful as Dad didnt know how to use the GoPro very well so I stuck it on his head and then controlled his camera with the WiFi Remote, attached to my wrist. Made using two GoPro's really really easy!

A photoshoot with some amazing machines! (Chipmonk, Harvard, Tiger Moth & Spitfires)

Having spoken to Mark, my Sony Man, about GoPro's in the past he asked if I'd be able to assist him on a few days shooting a client of his that was learning to fly Chipmonks, Havards, Tiger Moths and Spitfires! Without hesitation I jumped to the chance and took him up on his offer. It was a waiting game for the two days while the weather grounded all flights! But at the end of day two the sun broke through and the planes took off! Was such a buzz to be stood so close to these WW2 flyer's and a personal highlight was the arrival of the second twin seater Spitfire. Standing between nearly half the worlds population of twin seater Spitfires was pretty immense!

Behind The Scenes!

 Getting to sit inside one of the Spitfires! (Didn't get a flight though as they cost £4000 an hour to fly - maybe one day!)

New Products for HOLIDAY!

Woo, so my holiday to Tunisia with the guys has finally come around and some new products have just come in. Would almost think they timed it for me haha. First off is the Aquanote from Xsories, my friends in France. This is a set of fully waterproof mp3 headphones. Gary is my chief tester for this seeing as he's the swimmer out of both of us! The other is the new GoPro Dive Housing! This will replace the AquaPixs Flat Lens I've been using for the past year. Results will up online shortly!

Dave's Project

After a quick visit to Dave's we were asked if we could assist in his new college project. A location shoot with a difference. The subject, nicknamed Goliath, was a dome chair. It weighs a ton but looks so shiny and round haha. We had a lot of fun putting this up into strange and wonderful places. Here are a few behind the senses shots! My favourite is of Dave and Gary carrying Goliath down the jetty!

Steady Rigs come into work!

Nick, LCE's MD, spoke to me about coming on board with a new product head office are going to be stocking from Lensse. Its a cheap collection of steady rigs for cameras as small as iphones & GoPros to 5Ds and D800s. This is going put an awesome pro feel touch to my videos. Bring on the testing!

Coasteering - Perks Of Work!

When I first started to stock GoPro's at work I sold one to Craig, a top bloke who is a freelance instructor. He returned to ask if I'd like to join him on a warm recky of the routes he'd be taking groups on while coasteering! This is my second trip out with him and I love coasteering! Awesome sport putting lots of things I enjoy into one!
