(baka you like, my grandson left a Darth Vader suit with head gear and a floater also, Darth Vader salva vida. Ahi-hi. |

I can imagine that, with the darkened canopy of your blind, the live view must be very clear. A picture well worth a hundred leech-bites! i'm really enjoying the live view feature of my camera hehehe |

Great shot JP, Tina was right looks more beautiful in the larger size. Just wondering, how did you manage to use the Gimbal inside your float  |

rey - i used a manfrotto ballhead. i brought home the blind to modify it a bit to accommodate the gimbal and make the whole thing rounder to make it more streamlined for the winds
rene - thank you
