Cheers brother good video and hope the Nikon survives 🤞🤞

[@JasonLorette]

Thank you and thanks for watching! Indeed 🤞🏻🤞🏻 📸😎

[@benruset]

Couldn't believe it happened when I saw it. Fingers crossed Nikon can get it sorted out for you quickly. It was great meeting you!

[@JasonLorette]

I couldn’t either lol! Same was a blast hanging out dude, our crazy mad dash for dinner, and shooting…awesome time!

[@roseltamangbinodlimboo]

Beautiful pictures and thanks for taking us along with you on this adventure. New subscriber here:)

[@JasonLorette]

Thank you!! Glad to have you join the community…greatly appreciated! 😎📸

[@DavidMeggers]

Sorry to see the camera taking a swim (saw you on Gavin’s video and hopped over here)

[@JasonLorette]

Hi David, thanks for coming over! It was a fun ‘damp’ couple of days in more ways than one! I’ll be back at it soon though! 😎👊🏻

[@HardcastleTowers]

Oh God I didn't realize you were filming my broken leg descent. Looked like a bloody 90yr old there.

[@JasonLorette]

Ha ha that’s some good TV right there! Even with your wanky leg I didn’t get down there any quicker than you did!

[@sheldonbenoitphotography]

Great pics! Sorry to hear about the Z6II. That would really suck. Hopefully it can be repair and get you back to out taking photos and video.

[@JasonLorette]

Thanks…fingers crossed! Thanks for watching! 😎👍🏻

[@jasonptucker]

THE BAG OF RICE!! I hate to laugh but that was funny, sorry about your camera tho! I cannot WAIT to be in Cape Breton at the end of the month for a one-on-one with Gavin!

[@JasonLorette]

Ha ha you do what your gotta do! Fingers crossed, hopefully Nikon can fix it. Gavin will treat you well and take you to some fun photography places! Have a blast! Thanks for watching! 😎👍🏻

[@DavidNorthFilms]

Oh man, that sucks! You hit some beautiful spots as well, then to have the camera hit the drink, damn! Sorry Jason, that really sucks. I hope it's not that serious of a repair and you are back with your Nikon friend.

[@JasonLorette]

Yeah had to end the trip early unfortunately…thanks for watching…hopefully I will have it back soon. 📸😎

[@TRIOStories]

Loved joining you on the adventure Jason! We've got all of our fingers crossed for a speedy recovery for your Nikon (even if it is a potato :D )

[@JasonLorette]

Ha ha thanks…and thanks for watching. 🤪

[@TheRealTonyCastillo]

Center column looked fully extended in Gavins video...that a common practice with that tripod? My worse fear getting water anywhere near my cameras. Hopefully it can be fixed. I'm still locked into the Manfrotto 200PL plates on most my stuff, not an arca fan at the present.

[@JasonLorette]

I use the Center column sometimes because I don’t like to extend the third set of legs that are really thin. Gavin is trying to convince me to get a Really Right Stuff clamp plate. Yeah it’s not fun dunking your camera let me tell yah. Update in my next vid. Thanks for watching! 😎📸

[@stonecold958]

Great shot of the waterfall. Any news on your camera?

[@JasonLorette]

Thanks! Not repairable unfortunately, the lens I had repaired. Saving for a new camera now. Appreciate you watching! 😎👍🏻

[@stonecold958]

@@JasonLorette Oh no. Sorry to hear that. Feel your pain as I am also saving for a new camera.

[@JasonLorette]

@@stonecold958 yeah it sucks…good luck saving! 😎👍🏻

[@susanrainey9694]

Oh no! So sorry to hear that. Thanks for the video and best of luck.

[@JasonLorette]

@@susanrainey9694 Thanks, and thank you for watching. Camera update in next video! 📸😎

[@TheFloodLightShow]

Oh man, so sorry to hear about the swim. I know the pain of a tripod failing and destroying some gear. Hope Nikon canada can save it. Will keep my fingers crossed till the next update🤞

[@JasonLorette]

Thanks dude, yeah it’s a sickening feeling watching that happen, thanks for watching, fingers crossed for sure! 😎👊🏻

[@stevebanks484]

Based on this video I must be a professional 🤔. We were recently at a beach in South West WA (Western Australia). I was on a boat ramp photographing stingrays. One came right up to me as I was ankle deep in water. I slipped and went down - but triumphantly held my camera up so it didn’t get wet (salt water). The watching onlookers were very impressed 😂👏👏

[@JasonLorette]

Ha ha I think I’ve done that with a beer, lol. Yeah salt water in a camera would be horrible! Camera update coming in my next video, lens has been fixed. Thanks for watching! 😎📸

[@jserenity]

Too bad for the cam but I guess its time to get a z8

[@JasonLorette]

Just as soon as I sell that organ, ha ha. Love too, but I’m hoping a Z6III appears on the horizon soon. Z8 is $6Kin Canada…thanks for watching! 😎👍🏻

[@randyrektor]

Great video! Sorry your camera decided to swim :(

[@JasonLorette]

Mind of it’s own…leapt right off the tripod. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Thanks for watching dude. 😎👊🏻

[@RayLombardi]

It may have still not worked, but, for future reference, the item is meant to be 'submerged' in rice. I mean, totally covered and surrounded by rice. For this camera/lens combo, at least 5 kilograms of rice would have been needed. In any case, I'm sorry this happened to you and hope it can be fixed. All the best!

[@JasonLorette]

Yeah I was a bit apprehensive to do that, worried about dust from the rice getting where it shouldn’t and then having a whole other problem. But, Nikon has it now and my fingers are crossed. 🤞🏻 Thanks for watching! 📸😎

[@JeffreyJohnsonC]

Olympus

[@JasonLorette]

Ha ha …never! Nikon forever…😎📸

[@JohnDrummondPhoto]

So sad about your camera. FWIW you need COMPLETE immersion of the camera within the rice for at least 3 days for the bath to have a chance to work. That's how my R5 survived a salt water dunking two years ago. I also rice-bathed the lens separately (it didn't live, sadly). Hopefully you'll never have to do this again!

[@JasonLorette]

Yeah it sure is a sickening feeling isn’t it!? Uggh salt water…yikes! The lens has been repaired by Nikon…next video is giving a camera update. Thanks for watching, really appreciate it! 😎📸

[@JohnDrummondPhoto]

@@JasonLorette you're welcome. I was very lucky!

[@gotahave]

It’s not as well refined or polished as Gavin’s nor as funny and no beautiful model as Gavin’s wife, but it’s interesting and it’s a different perspective shirt snd to the point. Well done

[@JasonLorette]

Thanks for watching, I’m still learning how to do this whole video thing…no one is as funny as Gavin! 😎👍🏻

[@Noksus]

Would be better to have the camera in open air rather than locked in a ziplock bag where the moisture can't escape at all. Rice isn't magic.

[@JasonLorette]

Rice can be pretty amazing with wet electronics…that said the camera has already been sent to Nikon…update in my next video. Thanks for watching! 😎👍🏻
