EXPLORATION VIDEOS

 

Occasionally while we are on our exploration trips we take along the camcorder as well as the camera. I have found that producing a decent viewable video in a pitch dark mine is far more difficult than general photography because of the lack of sufficiently powerful light which has a battery life of  more than 20 minutes. However, I did manage to grab these videos after a bit of trial and error!

Please click on a link below to 'stream' the video to your computer, you will require a good fast broadband connection for this to work correctly. I have also provided a direct download link incase you have a slower connection where you may download the video in its entirety to your pc for viewing.

The first video of Rampgill using the POV.1, we found that we do need to play a bit more to get the best from it! 37.9MB.
