Ah that must be the one where the tripod blew over

Yes.  You can just make out the wind picking up and the camera movement increases slightly over the last 5 seconds.

No damage, luckily.

None,  the selfie stick got caught on a rose bush so it never landed on the P3.

And a lesson learned.

They're the best ones, where you don't suffer any consequences.

The one thing I have found lacking with the camera is the lack of a GPS,  Id assumed it would have had one.

That would render those Where am I?  shots redundant

Not really as the forum strips the location from them anyway,  but now I have to treat it like I treat the IR camera and run a workout on my watch and then export it and use that to tag the image locations,   just another step.

Not an insurmountable problem then.  Just a nuisance.

Yes,  I can export a GPX file from the walk workout and use an app called Geotag to set the location,  or Lightroom lets you do it manually which is much more time consuming.

For me it's not an issue, but I can see how useful you would find it.

I regularly use the GPS data to find photos,   the other night we watched a cooking show that was in Pulia and SWMBOd was asking if wed been there and I was very quickly able to pull up photos from each of the towns from my phone.

Hopefully, no damage to the OP3.  Must have been a fairly strong gust.

No damage I was lucky and the bust snagged the selfie stick so the camera just looked down until I rescued it.  Shame though the clouds looked great.

9 seconds times 60?

Something like that....

Android and Windoze 'til I die

My neighbour was like that and for some reason she just got an iPhone and she was saying she couldnt believe how bad it made the android phones shes had appear and she just had realised what she had been missing. She couldnt persuade her husband though to try it.

Glad it's not broken.

Yeah me too,  that would be embarrassing.

I think we tend to stick with what we've evolved with.

Shes always had android,  but I never got to the bottom what triggered the change.  Shes a bit deaf so it's hard going sometime to discuss these things.

Now that Apple have been "forced" into accepting universal connectivity rather than Apple-specific, things may change.

Good that no damage occurred.  Sad that it caused you to miss the cloud formations.

Dont worry DT,   there will be many more clouds.

If you're referring to the USBC debacle,   thats an absolute S*** show created by people that have no idea.   I have so many USB C devices that have to be paired with a specific charger due to the fact that USBC is just the connector and not the specification of how a devices charges,   so a really new high powered PD USB C charger cannot always charge an old USBC device and of course an older usbc charger may not have the power for a bigger device.

Chaotic, isn't it.

Really dont get me started,    the lightning connector is physically better that the USB C,   much easier to insert for example.   And of course they provide the cable with the device that can plug into a USBC charger so theres no real issue there.

We're virtually standardised on USB C here now.  Only Mrs.B's Kindle and the RC for my Mavic2Zoom are the old style.

Those old micro USB connectors were also terrible.

Too feeble. Always felt flimsy.

I dropped my OP1 several times,  but it is still going strong.
Hope the OP3 is as strong.

No doubt about that.  

Raining here this morning so I have to put off washing and waxing my truck and jet ski until later in the day.  Oh well, gives me time to check out some of the forums I frequent.

We were due rain here too but its just fallen off the every changing forecast.
