It makes for some interesting architecture.

Exactly.
And a nice subject too.

When the weather is better I have a little day trip planned back to that part of the country.

Good for resetting the mood I hope.

I hope so.   Ive made two trips up there and both times the weather has let me down,   its not far but the roads are very slow.

Just take the ground camera then.
It can stand more than the drone

I usually take two DSLRs and two drones.  And the car charger for the drones.    My second DSLR is infrared and it needs a bright day for a good image.

Thats not a bad price really.  And not a huge amount either.

Ready for what the world throws at you.

I think it's a nice package if you only need one mic.
Now I only have to find out if the audio quality is good enough. There are some complaints about that.
(especially when mounted on your collar and you are not talking straight into it)

Exactly,   these plenty of room in the car so Id rather have it than no,  and my big camera bag with a few lenses and filters goes in too.  Yesterday I could have really used the 10-22mm lens I have but I had to make do at 16mm.

Adam Savage and Potato jet have just moved to them as they reckon they out perform the rhode alternative.

Yeah, I watched their reviews. BUT.
Adam's tech guy still uses a lavalier to get a better position for the mic (as that is a lot lighter than the TX module with battery etc.).

Yes, if I go on a photography trip, I try to take 'everything' with me.
At least in the car.
Not always a good idea, so it does depend on the location.

I only go down to 20mm.
The other day someone sold a complete package with a D750 + several lenses. One was the lovely 16-35 f/4 which I had on my list once.
(dropped it because of the weight)
It was expensive, but good value for money.
But I decided to replace my camcorder with a true camcorder. Because the D750 can't really replace that for trainspotting. You need that quick zoom and focus and long shooting times and batterylife .

As its a business it would probably be a requirement for disabled access.

That an interesting point.  Here, most elevators are disabled when a fire alarm goes off and only stairs can be used for egress.  Guess that is why many states have laws requiring disabled tenants to live on the ground floor.  

DAFlys Posted at 1-16 00:12
Its got some good reviews too

That doesn't surprise me as that is a unique venue to stay at.

I was walking and only wanted take one lens,   its a place Ive been to loads but never photographed and as it was bright I thought Id give it a go,  there was no point taking more kit in the car as its only 5 minutes down the road and not quick to get back to the car to get it if needed.    I will visit there a few times this year so I will take it then as I know for the shot I wanted it's probably needed.

Id like to drone it but its in a NFZ.

They have special chairs for going down stairs with a disabled person here.   They fold flat and usually hung in the stair well.

And yes, I also travel light quite often.
One lens and just the DSLR. Or even just the Pocket.

A legal requirement I think.

This was the infrared camera,   because its winter its usually quite hard to get a shot as it needs lots of sunlight but I got a couple of shots I quite like which will be on instagram at some point.

It was on googlemaps.   Id like to make my own version but it's technically a no fly zone for the airport.

Nice, I'll see them when IG wants me to see them I guess

That is quite a good resolution for Maps.

They will go into the backlog to post so it will be a while.

That was just a screen grab of it.

I wonder how you got this resolution.
Here it is much lower.

I think you misunderstood me,   it's from google maps,  if you click on a landmark it then can offer up photos of the place,  thats where that came from.

Ah ok. Not like the sat images google provides.
Which is a bit of a shame, since they are there, they just downscale them.

Yes it would be nice if they were better but I am finding more and more places here are in 3d now.

Just watched a lot of it.
Too bad he did not categorize with an index. I really feel that should be mandatory for getting to a specific topic quickly.
One thing I noticed is that he did not use the mic itself for most of the stuff. He used his boom mic which sounded superb (but hanging overhead).
On the audio comparison, none came close to that unfortunately.
Also in the outdoor test it sounded quite bad. Not sure why, maybe because he forgot to do some processing, but I have a feeling that was the 'true' sound of the DJI mic.
He did explain his post processing as 'super simple' but it does make a big difference, so I'm not sure what I am hearing. Which is bad for a mic review. I'll ask him what happened there.
