Shooting some b-roll with the Mini 2 gave me a nice bit of footage to work with.

Cool place. Love wind mills - new and old. Lovely music (yours?).

Thanks a lot.
Yeah it is a cool place.
Very old too.
This was played by our piano player (of the band I'm in).
I used it for some other videos too that had this theme going.

Lovely scenery .

You too, sun is shining at the moment, but they are expecting some heavy rain and / or thunder.
Could get exciting.
(hope so)

  Weather everywhere seems to be off a bit this year.

Yeah, it was cold and wet.
But that was a welcome change for the water levels.

Some slow, steady rain is always welcome, especially for water levels.  The torrential down pours not so much.

Very true.
We got both lately.

Sounds like the weather is cooperating a bit for you then.  I dove on a shipwreck this weekend but the winds were up and the water was churning so much that you couldn't even see your hand in front of your face at wreckage depth.  Oh well, sometime mother nature cooperates and sometimes she doesn't.

Yeah, we had a good mixture.
Now it is getting warmer. Which is nice too.
Exactly.

Got a 2nd dive in Sunday evening to try out some new equipment so the weekend turned out a bit better.  I need to check the weather forecasts a bit closer before future dives.  I do that for drone flying so not sure why I haven't been better at it for dives.

Always room for improvement!

Nice footage Monty. Is the V-shaped contraption at the back used to turn the sails into the wind? Or is it fixed in a single direction?

Yes I believe it is.

Montfrooij Posted at 6-7 08:41

I wonder how hard it is to move by hand?

I will have to ask the miller about that, but judging by the amount of gears they have inside, I can imagine they solved that at the expense of having to make quite a few rotations.

nicely done, windmills are always beautiful.
