A quick test of the Pocket3 - just acquired.  Default settings, right out of the box.
Trains for @Montfrooij seemed like a handy test.

Nice Roger.
Congrats!

Now thats funny,  Ive seen many shots of the millennium walkway along that stretch and never realised the trains passed over head like that.        That second train approaching looked really nice.  Peter should like that.  

Great video looks good I hope your impressed with the P3 like I am

Not screaming with excitement because of the trains but nice places anyway and it seems to work nicely.

Really nice first footage you've captured on the new OP3, especially using the default settings.  Great job Mr. B.  

And a freight train too

Thanks Peter. I knew you'd be interested - on both counts ( trains and P3).
Some studying to be done this weekend to master it

Have you not seen the walkway from that spot before?  That's remiss of me

Thanks mate. First impressions are favourable - I have some learning to do over the weekend

Yes - I haven't even finished reading the manual yet   Lots to learn.

I almost missed it, that was the back half

Ive seen the walk way a lot of times,   even the lady that wanted me to do the art trail had a shot there,  I just never realised the train track was above it.

OIC. And the bus station is above that again.

Both have my interest for sure!
You're welcome!

At least you got some of it!

Half a loaf is better than no bread

Blériot53 Posted at 1-24 11:11

Exactly.
But I do hope you'll get one from that bridge one day (freight)

Blériot53 Posted at 1-24 11:09

I'm curious why you went for the version with the Mic?

Montfrooij Posted at 1-24 11:18
Exactly.
But I do hope you'll get one from that bridge one day (freight)

I shall have to take a picnic one day and sit on the bench in that nearby field, until one rumbles by

It's a part of the combo, that's all. Same as when I got the P2 combo.

Yeah, but you could also have chosen the first option.

Pick a nice day
So you can stay longer

Montfrooij Posted at 1-24 12:01

That doesn't have the extension battery, or other items, like the carry bag.

Mid-summer's day then?  

Blériot53 Posted at 1-24 12:07

Ah ok, I get it.
I thought about it, but I'm not sure if I'll use it that much.
Since it should be able to run on an external battery pack too.

Blériot53 Posted at 1-24 12:08

That would make it much more bearable.

Blériot53 Posted at 1-24 10:40

A triple tier,   doesn't make sense.  I will check the maps.

I'll find something from my archives to illustrate the layout.

Best I could find at short notice ( I have better ones somewhere)
Bus station above railway tunnel
Rail line emerges from tunnel into station
Millenium walkway in the gorge below.

OK. So its a bit more set back then I realised         Looks liker a good place to take off from too.

Done that a few times

Blériot53 Posted at 1-25 02:48

I bet you have.  

DAFlys Posted at 1-25 02:56
I bet you have.

Here's a view from the Pocket3
From the bus shelters, over the wall to see the railway below, and the walkway below that.

Blériot53 Posted at 1-24 09:39
Thanks RDB.  First impressions are favourable. More study to be done

My pleasure Mr. B.  My only concern was/is how long the rotating hinge for the screen will last.  I had to send my original one in for replacement as the screen wouldn't stay in the horizontal position.  Besides that I've had zero other issues with the OP3.

I can see how the rotational hinge might be a weak point. I shall take care to use it gently.

Mine was a release day purchase and since then I think they've changed something as I haven't seen any recent hinge issues.  Sometimes it doesn't pay to be an early adopter.
