[Dan Cattermole]

Yeeeaaaahhhh!!!! Looking forward to that one dude!

 

[Pete Askew]

Nice one Hamish. Should work with a small DSLR too. Bit less bulky than one of these...

Steadicam Flyer camera stabilisation system

 

[Hamish Gill]

Yeah, I'm seriously thinking about a Nikon J1 or d5100 for video extra tele etc
But I'm going to work out the limitations of the iPhone first
The x100 should fit on it quite nicely too!!

Should be a laugh Dan! How do you feel about talking to a camera?

 

[Pete Askew]

Now that could be interesting or something like a GH2.

 

[Dan Cattermole]

I was born for the camera Hamish!!! Lol

 

[Pete Askew]

"Dan Cattermole, Roving Reporter for RPF, thanks for tuning in and goodnight". Yep, has a definite ring to it!!

 

[Davie Hudson]

i could do with something like that rigged up in the car, I've always wanted to film the Glen Etive Road and the last time i tried the idiot next to me couldn't hold the camera steady

 

[Pete Askew]

And you'll be able to get some great shots of you and Dan fleeing the boys in blue after a night out with hot steel wool!!

Really want to see this crazy fire spinning thingy! keen to get out in the paddock and give it a go

Really want to see this crazy fire spinning thingy! keen to get out in the paddock and give it a go

I don't want to see any announcement on the news that Tamworth has been set on fire by a failed fire spin!
Maybe at this point I should display a disclaimer! Hahahaha!!
What still impresses me after many of spins, is seeing the aftermath of it on camera on a long exposure.
If you are going to do it, be careful, use common sense, and wear a fire resistant hoody, if you value your hair! Lol
Have you got your new toy yet Hamish ?

 

[Brodie Jackson]

Luckily for Tamworth I live out of town.. haha. Thinking i will start small.. really small. Don't want to be the one to kick off fire season! But seriously, those pictures are awesome!

 

[Hamish Gill]

Not yet Dan
Hopefully Tuesday I would guess...
I'll be in touch, what ever day I get it we can look to go out that evening!
Can you make sure to get enough wire wool to do 3 or 4 spins?
I want to film it from a few angles

Good luck with it Brodie!!

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Sound Hamish, anytime in the evening is cool.
I've got enough for about 15 spins if your feeling optimistic. Lol
Plenty of info on the net for wire wool spinning Brodie.......
