Farbz, I've been going to G-land since the mid to late 80`s. The place is fantastic & is only as heavy as you want it to be. You have so many options to this wave & moods. If you want to go hard then you will be given every opportunity to do so from Money trees down to Speedies :twisted: If ...

Thanks Badknees1 I think the position of the camera is going to work well but I've not yet got the chance to test it in its optimal conditions. Hollow barrels with good lighting. I had a chance a couple weeks back but i did every no no there is known to photographers & rushed. Perfect 4-6ft spit...

Colonoscopy cam

I've been working on another project to keep me interested in future films etc. Just thought I would share a snippet of a work in progress.
