Thank you very much, great way to spend time

Nice job

Cool video

Nice bike

And cool video, love the frantic 'we need to get out there now, and fast' atmosphere, captures my feelings very nicely!

Perfect fit for a tankbag, it will be my standard packed riding equipment from now on, I'd just wished they released the AIR 9 months ago for my bike trip to Norway,

Very true of the fast atmosphere your in proper moment when on a motorbike any motorbike 125 or 1000.

I your right about the tank bag, had mine with me again up in the moffat hills.  Last time a had the phantom on a trip was Ireland last year and it was a total faff.  They wouldn't let me on the plane with the phantom either to tenerife.

Norway looks amazing especially that Trollstigen pass, did you get to do that

Good video...as soon as the spring is here will head up to Applecross and do the Bealach na Bà with drone following the bike.

That will be really smart, last time a was up there with the phantom it was pea soup fog.

If you get the weather it will be well worth it, thats what a like about this stuff you get the memories to keep on video

I've been very lucky last 4 years, been going up last weekend of October for 12 years now, last run with the bike before the winter storage. But as you say we've had some exciting nail biting runs over the hill with 5m viz.  But I find that you normally have good viz as soon as you drop down to Applecross. If you go left there thru the town and keep going here are some spectacular remote rugged beached and a wreck or two on the rocks.

captured this a couple of hours ago up the moffat hills.  

Applecross is pretty special like, that wee pub restaurant is a great for food and a heat up

I made sure we placed the Trollstigen in the roadbook, it was our most northen and turn around point, so we went up and over twice


It sure is one of the many highlights, but there is a new scenery around every corner, I'm pretty sure I'd be at the end of the 3 batteries before the end of the day ;)

Amazing stills!

Amazing stills!

Thanks, the first pic is even an ungraded Samsung S7 Edge picture, shows again that the best camera is the one you have on you

Although a DSLR would have been welcome at many points, it's hard to go to Norway and not come home with great pictures, even when taken from a half decent smartphone or compact camera.

I can only imagine however how great a Mavic is due to opening up all vantage points when shooting film or stills. Can't wait for my next endeavor, eventhough its just going to be the Vosges and Schwartzwald.
