  3. Glad you asked...cause no-one did..... This is a Sturmanskie Gagarin........limited edition (2000 only), commemorative, 40mm, Vostok 2416B Russian automatic movement, made originally by First Military Watch Company in Moscow and given to graduating Russian pilots and worn by Yuri Gagarin on his flight into space on 12th April, 1961...the first watch in space and still available as the original mechanical 33mm model....a real beaut with a story to boot!

  11. True.... Pudding? Is that reference to Xmas and its after effects or you pudding one foot in front of the other in 2021!?
  12. Most of the footage is shot with the GoPro MAX 360 cam, the software stitches the two clips into one, the camera is mounted perpendicular to the selfie stick which is thin and fits into the border between the two images and cut out during stitching...heapsa voodoo magic...other random clips are with the GoPro 9 and Max Mod lens...which is actually a single lens from the Max fitted to the GoPro 9 Edit: I hold onto the selfie stick so I can move it around to get different angles..then in Final Cut Pro, you reframe the clip ie chose which view from the 360 footage you want to see, and then keyframe it and move the image around thusly!

  14. Some bush work...nice to have some suspension for a change! And DROPPER POST!!!! Had forgotten about this engineering marvel!
  15. A quiet corner of the Waterfront... actually there were plenty of quiet spots
  16. Cycling, don't bother about mounting anything on the bike itself...despite the great stabilisation ability of the GoPro, it will not be able to handle the constant judder of a direct mount to the bike...maybe road bike but definitely not MTB....unless you want some B roll and the shake is part of the plan...but generally stay away from handle bar/bike mounts...again MTB. A chesty is definitely the way to go for a bike, with the superview wide angle on, you get a great perspective..bars in foreground, the trail/road out back...and its more stable.... A head/helmet mount is another option, your head is a great gimbal! But footage become boring fast cause the view angle never changes...again, OK for B roll. Snowboarding...pole mount works great, a nice long extendable selfie stick.... chesty too but the angle needs to be set as you are facing sideways mostly...head/helmet mount works too. If you can get, use GoPro mounts they are better quality, their online shopping is not bad and in Europe should be able to deliver pronto.... stay away from cheap stuff on Ebay or Aliexpress, they almost always suck and made from cheap plastic and brittle.
