I just found one in a box Wayne, from 1991... should be great for chainsaw videos etc.

Panasonic make good ones at a good price. Mine is a few years old now but very good quality and will still mix it with the newer cameras.

Should also be great to toss in the bin :msp_rolleyes: ....or put it on Gumtree under antiques

Speaking of chainsaws, I was playing around with my new compression tester,

Ozito : 120 psi
mac 10-10 : 135psi
husky 359 : 150 psi

The biggest surprise was the stihl 019T

Or film girls swimming! (as they do in the ads) The HD does great things for their curves errr the underwater scenery.


Interesting story on the founder of gopro - just a young surfer dude who stuck a camera to his wrist with some velcro and now he's a billionaire.

I actually had my Go Pro mounted to my head on the weekend using the 12 guage to shoot a few crows (or should I say trying to shoot a few crows). In the waterproof housing it dulls the microphone that much that the shots actually sounded like a pop gun. Hardly manly at all so I deleted the video. One because it sounded like a girly gun, and two because I missed 4 straight shots...

Yeah crows the :censored: difficult to shoot at the best of times.


Still the video would have been a good laugh :biggrin:

I was like that when buying my 441.
Can't go wrong with them these days I reckon with regards picture quality. I got a JVC mounted on the patrol. Love it. Does what I want it to do .

In my defence I have to state the following...

I recently purchased a MEC 600 12 guage reloading press. In my infinite wisdom I hadn't realised just how much reloading components had gone up since the mid 90's when I last reloaded a shotgun. It simply isn't worth it although I did manage to buy a few 10kg containers of some old Australian made lead shot from a dealer for $29 a container! New dealer cost is $55 without freight! Luckily this dealer didn't know the new cost
Anyway, I had a heap of the old brass based Winchester AA hulls here from the late 90's that had just been waiting for the ideal opportunity to get reloaded. I went to the local gun store asking for ADI AS50 powder to load some heavier field loads as I had a heap of leftover 32gm and 36gm wads to use. Local gun shop only has AS30. I say to the guy that AS30 is only suited to lighter 24gm and 28gm target loads. He says no it is fine even with 36gm loads. I ask to see an ADI reloading manual. He doesn't have one. I reluctantly buy the AS30. I get home and consult my ADI manual to find I was indeed correct and the best velocity you'll get out a 32gm field load is a rather gay 1100 odd fps. Anyway I load up about 150 shells with No 2 shot and head down the in-law's farm for some weekend bunnit shooting. Turns out I still had full choke fitted to the top and bottom barrel and because of the lame arsed velocity the pattern wasn't opening up like a normal shell and full choke became more like a rifle. I flattened a heap of rabbits with them but quickly found my usual dead eye d*ck shotgun shooting made me look like a blind cripple.

That is why I deleted the video in case people thought I was simply firing wads at the crows or looked at me as a lesser man...

Andrew would have seriously rubbed it in as we were both AA grade sporting clay shooters back in the day. Now I look like a one armed C grader with a wonky eye...

I had it narrowed down to Panasonic or Sony...now you had to mention JVC :hmm3grin2orange:

While you are writing a list also take a look at some of the DSLR cameras, they shoot in full HD and the picture is usually pretty good. Thats all I use for youtube etc. Only big draw back is you can't record for hours due to limited Gb's.

I would like to give a shout out to the guys at the stihl shop in dandenong. !
They gave awesome advice, talked me up saw size not down, know their stuff and again today, helped out with a T27 spanner.
Even gave advice of fixing up the seized up 660 with regards to getting melted piston off the bore with acid. (Which I already knew cause of this awesome forum). Even mentioned I could after market parts for it a lot cheaper than buying genuine stihl. Love their honestly. Customer for life.

You better stick with them because the good ones are few and far between.

Btw is that 660 running yet? :msp_biggrin:

Is it the Pro Tops, Hard Tops, or Titaniums that are limited?

Lol sorry. But those 2 are great too. I reckon u can't go wrong with any of them.

Lol no . But now I have my trusty T27 in hand I think I will duck out to the garage and pop the top off it.

Hard Tops, rarer than hens teeth in some parts I hear.
