You can go back to England and tell your king to kiss his own arse

Does the kit come with a fire extinguisher?

This was a really well done comparison. Would be interesting to see a comparison of the zs80 and zs100/zs200 as well, but this comparison can already be used to learn the major differences between those models. However the ZS80's 720mm equiv. may not have any advantage compared to cropping on the ZS200's 360mm (even for moon shots), as the focal length difference is less.

Incredibly helpful!

Thank you for the arrangement! I heard this tune on Pandora, immediately knew I had to learn it. I've been playing along with the Whistlebinkies Video using a Blair digital chanter, would be neat to do with the harmonies now.

very cool to see it from inside .. I just got the X4 myself .. was this difficult to do ?? as I am hoping to do things like this as well ..

Love the tartans and the bagpipes!

I can ot understand what you are saying ...total distortion.

Clear that manual is not clear at all !

Ahhh lovely video! Lovely trip!

The Best is The FZ 1000 !!

I have both cameras. The FZ1000 is just a better camera overall. The pictures and videos are much better in almost all conditions. The only area where the FZ80 wins is larger zoom.

Yea

Good memories from that exact beach that I shared with an old friend that passed away years ago. Seeing the bagpipes played there is oddly fitting and completely unexpected when I clicked on the video. Thank you for sharing this! 🥲

I'm thinking about what is better to take, a phone with a 1" sensor or a Panasonic tz200

of course it goes without saying that since you are hot lapping you don't apply your parking brakes unless you want the brakes to fuse onto your rotors

All thanks to Sir Bruce and Donna Chaytor...much respect to them both for a job well done...

Keep a sharp look out for Grizzly Bears.

I've tried for years to turn pipers onto the Maclaren Synthetic reed. I've even gone so far to give pipers his reeds, I've collected quite a few over the years. Most of them I've gotten from pipers that just don't know how to set them up. Most of them are from #15(medium easy) to #20(bordering on hard) and if a piper hears mine they get interested, but are reluctant to pay $50 for 1 reed, but when I tell them that the one I'm playing is 15 years old. When I stressed that in 15 years I've saved thousands from not having to buy cane reeds. Then I tell them that I also put a great stock in my Carbony Celtic Winds carbon fiber Bb chanter, they look kinda shocked, especially when they hear it. I contacted Rob Gandara, owner of Carbony and asked if he could make me a carbon Fibre chanter in Bb, told me he'd try. The reed plus chanter plays a constant Bb on my Korge tuner, forever, it gives me a better tone than my expensive ABW Henderson chanter. The chanter at the time cost me $500 because it took Rob new development to make it, now they run $360, about the price of a quality blackwood chanter. The carbon Fibre chanter is unaffected by temperature, humidity and Rob gives a lifetime warranty on it and it doesn't leave his shop unless it plays perfectly. Like I said, I stake my reputation on both. I really liked your video. Now you need to make one comparing plastic and carbon Fibre drone reeds, that would be interesting. I use the carbon Fibre Ross Omega drone reeds. They are extremely complex and hard to set up, unless you've been playing pipes for 30 years plus, I'm 55 years into Piping. If you decide to do drone reeds, I could set up some Omegas and send them to you, but I'd need them back, eventually, but the only problem with the Omegas is they quit making them because only expert pipers were patient enough to fool with them. We'll talk again soon, again, really liked the video, but don't worry about the squeaks and squawking of the reeds, it would have taken to much time to really set them up. I'm of Scottish/German ancestry, first one born in the U.S., so I like to tinker and expect perfection in mostly everything I set my mind to. Good luck in Piping.

I'm a professional piper in Las Vegas and I've played the same Maclaren Synthetic chanter reed in a Carbony Celtic Winds carbon fiber Bb chanter for 15 years, never given me any trouble. Plays exactly like a cane reed. It plays a consistent Bb all day. I also play Ross Omega carbon Fibre(original) drone reeds. I tuned and balanced my reeds perfectly and the Carbony chanter has never required any tape in it. I play 120 year old Hendersons in Ebony. I've played for 3 presidents, 15,000 people in an arena at Caesars Palace that was satellite transmitted to 163 countries. I trust the Maclaren, Omega and Carbony with my carrier. Incidentally, the Omega drone reeds are very complicated and hard to setup, but once they are, they stay that way permanently. I haven't returned chanter or drone reeds for 15 years. Saved a hellofalot of cash on reeds. I figured about $2,000 to $3,000 grand. Just can't beat that. BTW, I. Tuned my drones about 4 months ago and they're still in tune. Of course the 5 percent humidity help here.

Excellent piping

Like that fiddle tune!

how long are the videos in the subscription? Are they hours long or just 10 a 10 minute loop?

Well, that was a useful comparison. Who would have thought it would still be useful today... The FZ1000 has been followed up by the mkII already 5 years ago but still has the same sensor and lens. Did decide to get that one for an upcoming safari trip. I was a little bit worried about the 400 mm being a bit too short compared to a 600+mm eq., but seeing how much you can still crop my worries are gone. On a previous trip I used an 8MP Olympus DSLR from 2005 with 70-300mm lens and got some good results. Between the brighter lens, extra resolution and newer sensor, I'm pretty sure it will work out very well A Sony RX10 III or IV might give better results at the long end, but it's also a lot more expensive.

Thanks, enjoy playing along with you on the Blair! Very glad I found this! You did a great job with it! See you Tuesday!

Very helpful!

It's crazy to see how much the river has changed since you posted this!

Thanks so much for this. I purchased a set of bellows border pipes and got so frustrated. Been a blown pipe player for years. I’m going to start over by moving the bellows up like you and taking it slow.

You could hang the heat lamp directly to the bottom of the feeder (drill some holes in the aluminum reflector, use some s hooks to hang it on feeder) and won't need the flower pot. You also will only need about a 25 watt incandescent bulb, not a 40 or 60 watt, just warm enough to keep nectar from freezing is all you need. It works perfect and is simple and light weight.

Great video!

Shameful, people will never learn to leave well enough alone. This is what happens when we meddle in things we have no business in.

Looks like a must do trip coming up

here in 2024 16 years later holy my dad is a bag piper and has been for ever it it crazy to see this many people doing this

The Chinese brother has released a dummy battery that can be installed in the camera itself. And connect a power bank to the dummy battery. That's what I did. Now my battery is 22000 мА.

A few months ago I purchased P1000 This is my third camera and I am very pleased. For any job you need only one, but correctly selected tool .

Plenty of other CZcamsrs can use their P1000 and can shoot lovely vids, pix. I ❤ P1000 ❤

🎉 For those, who wanna give up the Superzooms, like the P1000, for Moon and planetary photography; 1. For the Moon a "mid range refractor" + a mount would cost a lot more than the P1000, 2. For Moon and planetary photography we need FOCAL LENGHT! Now, a "mid range refractor" with its 4-600mm is not enough, we need Barlows - or a much cheaper solution is the planet killer Maksutovs with 1,5-2m FL. 3. You can't carry those on your shoulder, right? 😂 So, I ❤ Nikon P1000.

I heard they swim across the Mississippi

Any updates or improvements @Northolbo ?

I can remember as it was yesterday. 2003, Markelo Holland, may 4th. Small church. Remembering World War II. Canadian pipers game marching in, playing. I will never forget that day. Thank you Canadian people, who liberated Holland.

No comparison. I've both cameras and the fz1000 takes far better shots

Thanks! 😎

A, A, A batteries lol😅

I strongly advise against synthetic chanter reeds for GHBs. I've had a bad experience with them, having played them for a year. They squeek like crazy, 1/3 of your birls and tarluaths will fail. Plus, they can't be adjusted if they're too hard as you can't shave plastic like you do cane.

Super helpful video. Much appreciated. I am looking at a my first venture into electric cars and feel more comfortable starting with a PHEV car. I was leaning towards the Q5. I live in QC and unlike your extraordinary island, we have a tone of snow over here with very long winters. The Quattro system is just awesome on winter conditions. After your video and a few comments below I am getting cold feet on the Audi. With your Canadian experience on the Audi, the various frustrations with the charger and some recalls, your mention that you will go for another car next, is the Q5 still a good PHEV?

If Scotland is brave it would at least be a country

That’s exactly the review I was looking for. I will go for the Z200 or TZ202 as they name it in Europe. Thx for the video.

You can also have "Kicks" right, gas build-up Rising will blow those slips fifty foot in the air. you stem it after , Fark what are we gunna do, Blow -out preventers, Blind Rams, Pipe rams, Just know you better hurry & Choose out of like 20 Valves on the choke manifold, "REAL FUN" :)))))))))))))))

Great comparison!! I've been looking at both cameras as options instead of taking my DSLR + lenses on a 4-week South Africa trip.
