Amazing. Are the pictures stills from the video or do you have a video + a camera attached. Not farmiliar with workings of gopro, I am sure I read that is what it is?

Yup, these are just still frames from the gopro video.
You can set the gopro to take a single pic every 1/5/10/30 seconds rather than shoot video continuously, presumably so you can use a smaller SD Card. The battery needs charged after 2-3 hrs but even in HD the 32GB cards have more capacity than the battery can last so I just take the easy option

Lovin those shots, looks spectacular with all the snow.
Do you think I'd get a microlite in px for the Evo?

Cool Jim! I can imagine it's chilly like the 2-11.
Great shot of Loch Brandy, it's a nice wee walk from the car park top of Glen Clova around the Loch.

Pretty similar I bet
Was -3 at the airfield so likely -10(ish) at 6000ft. Decent socks and boots, thermal bottoms & top, fleece and winter flying suit ment I was fairly comfy really. Only need to get the fingers sorted. Might end up with heated gloves for proper cold days
