    Multiple battery chargers

    I would have suggested something like the IMAX B6, but it appears to have been discontinued. It looks like the B6 AC neo is the next evolution, but as Steve says, there are many in the RC world that will easily charge everything and do balanced charging of multiple cells.

    Win a Rab Microlight Alpine Down Duvet with the 3rd of the Inglesport Fabulous 5 competitions!

    Part 2 A few hours later, the others returned with tales of their own. While Josh's car had no problems getting to the pub with his winter tyres, the same could not be said for Jean-Luc's car. While he had been able to get his car around the right hand corner, the engine had spluttered out of...

    Win a Rab Microlight Alpine Down Duvet with the 3rd of the Inglesport Fabulous 5 competitions!

    This turned out to be a bit longer than I expected, and so it is a two parter. Back in February 2020, just before words like Covid, lockdowns and bubbling became common parlance, YUCPC had a trip to the mines of Nenthead. Twelve of us were going to stay for the weekend, with Chris Twig and...

    Caving Camera Recommendation

    This is an example of the TG-6 using live composite mode for a long exposure with three torches lighting the scene. This was a 1.6 second exposure and has had a little denoise done. Someone didn't want to get their feet wet...

    Caving Camera Recommendation

    The answer kind of depends on what kind of photos you want to take, and how you are used to taking photos. If you are using looking for similar to what you've currently been doing, then a dedicated mobile for caving might be an idea, some of them produce impressive photos! Compact cameras are an...

    What do you carry you Olympus tough camera in?

    I used to just wash it in the steam way every now and then, but after destroying one of them I saturated my latest one in silicone lubricant and now it's smooth as butter.

    What do you carry you Olympus tough camera in?

    I made a pouch for my tg6 out of carry mat, some 2mm neoprene, lots of gaffa tape and aquasure which serves me well. It's also got a small section for a tiny tripod. The whole thing gets tucked into my oversuit and has protected the camera quite well. I've got a lens cap attachment as well which...

    Sleeping bag silk? liner

    Aye, I got one at the time. I've used it a lot since I got it. Generally found it to be breathable. I definitely wouldn't know if something was true silk or not though...
