Nice have never been lent so much meaning before now. Good mooch about. Have a great week. Mark

[@allabouttheviews]

And you mate 👍🏻

I got my first Go-pro last year (Hero 7 Black) and loved it. I did my first 2 videos using the onboard audio, which was great but there was not a breath of wind each time, so I bought an external mic and really pleased at how well it mutes the sound, even when it is blowing a gale. Real clear footage you got there and I found that in bright conditions the quality was superb (I film in 2K) with the only letdown being in poor light. Good to see you both out and on such a great day as well but you called it, real weird times. Take care, cheers Alan

[@allabouttheviews]

Evening Alan. Yeah I really like the Gopro cameras and my old 4 needed updating so when I found the 8 with £100 of I just had to buy one. I've got a foam wind blocker but wanted to test the new one for it's audio. I'll 100% be using it when it's really windy next time, the 8 does a decent job in the wind but it's not brilliant 👍🏻

[@pixelfascination]

Thanks for this man. I'm stuck in a flat with no garden and I don't drive, so I'm a bit trapped. Cheers for taking me along for the wander.

[@allabouttheviews]

Any time mate. Glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻
