Congrats. I wish you many adventures in it. Now where are the pictures?

Thank you very much John.
there were quite a few instances where it looked like almost heat waves that distorted the picture and some very bumpy tracking of birds in flight. Much of which I didn’t...

I can echo these sentiments. I will be in Zim a lot more in future with my next trip in October. Can't wait.

I have decided I’m going back to the OEM wheels and will upgrade the tyres possibly in future.
main reasons is I don’t think the Compromotives wheels suit the ND. The would obviously be better off...

Awesome!

I took meat and veggies and wasn’t even asked. You will be fine.

****sorry I should have read the rest of the thread - you got a camera. ****


I am no expert so maybe check the spec's and if this would be suitable.

I have a Canon M50 MKii with a 14-45 canon...

I honestly thought he was a friendly customer, but I did notice all the good looking ladies keep greeting him as they walked in. Think I need to grow a beard now! ;D Jokes aside he wasn't trying to...

Thank you IanK.

Shucks I didn't mean to give the wrong impression about ODP. They have been brilliant and very patient with me, asking probably many dumb questions, and it is not their fault that...

Thank you all for the replies.

I see the overheating in video is mentioned. This only happens after 30mins of recording, something I never do so its a none issue for me.

I have never tried...

Thanks very much Landylove.

Will try Orms also. Thank you and thank you for watching.

How is the quality and smoothness of the footage? I find the quality not so great and footage sometimes...

With all my (unintentional) moaning above I just checked my emails and have received an email from the dealer telling me there is a 5 week delay due to ICASA.

So do I wait for the R7 and use what...

Thank you Mike. I will look at that also.

The R7 was recommended due to its in body stabilisation, its crop factor of 1.6 which is great for wildlife, it has 4k fine (iirc) and that it uses RF...

Thank you GroenHoender. I haven't even looked at Fuji at all. Thank you. Apologies if I wasn't clear. Will try and explain:

I don't feel like I am being harsh. I am asking when they expect stock...

Most supermarkets accepted rands and I found that the items I purchased where cheaper than in SA believe it or not. (ok this was about 6 weeks ago now)
