Re: Chasing Gear

Just purchased a Panasonic HC-V500M camcorder! Woot woot! All set for next season and the US in a couple years time now! Anyone recommend a good car mount?

Coming home from Shepparton on Saturday evening after waiting for Sis to pop out a baby (Finally did so around 8:30pm); I saw the storm that Bendgo copped on radar, so headed towards Colbinabbin. Anyway, all I had on board was my point & shoot camera, so I filmed this at about 6:50pm: http://www...

I'll be on the road tomorrow, just recharged my USB broadband so ready to go. Tornado, how much bandwidth will your live webcam use? I could do it to but think it will waste my data to quick for the month. Not sure mate. Will see how it goes. Just done testing and the GPS, sound and video work. Hop...

Re: ASWA CONFERENCE, CANBERRA 5-7TH AUG

Hey Greg,
I cannot seem to open the link on the ASWA site that gives the breakdown of the weekend (PDF I think).
Can you please post the PDF here? Or send me the link again?
Am thinking very seriously about heading to Canberra for this one!
Cheers
