34067 LE to Bristol 02/10/09

Through Tilehurst 11.17, slightly early.
Probably see the return on Sunday.

The video was taken using one of those fairly cheap tiny hand held HD camcorders that are getting popular, I don't think the results are too bad.

My mistake, edited my post.

 

'Tangmere' out of St. Annes tunnel and into Bristol at 13:49.

The sun was shining a treat. But will it tomorrow? <BJ>

 

Cheers, the best way to describe the unit is that it is much like a small mobile phone or ipod. It does actually have a proper tripod socket in the bottom.
It does not have any "frills or fancies". Only a 2x digital zoom which reduces quality. Perfectly good for "point & shoot" job though. The included software has a built in Youtube uploader amongst other things.

 

Exactly what it does, ideal for filming "off the cuff" steam movements.
