I agree. It is a fantastic short fillum. I think one of the best criteria when judging a video is how long it is before I click the stop button or I feel the need to watch the video at faster speed. This video passes the test with ease. The tension and drama held me until the end. As has been said before - mental. This video is 6m 11s, the average view time for my caving videos is 1m 43s.

Something a little different from Caver Keith Videos - a product review. The team has always struggled to get good video in large cave passages so we tried out some 3800 lumen FD65 focusing torches from Fenix. The torches were able to light up some of the largest passages and proved to be absolutely brilliant for video. The range of light settings and the fact that at flood focus there isn't a trace of a hotspot make them ideal caving video lights. A longer edit of the video we took with the torches will appear on YouTube shortly eventually.

The single scariest 'caving' passage I've ever read (I was 8 at the time) remains the bit where they go sumping in the Weirdstone of Brisingamen, and it can still give me a degree of rectal uncertainty. This was right up there with it. Enormous respect!

Here's a longer edit of Fenix Lighting The Way looking at the potential of using Fenix FD65 focusing torches as video lights.
What's going on here? :bow:
What's put a smile on Chunky's Face? 
Who's Chunky's friend? :hug:
What tune are they playing? :-\
To find the answer to these questions and find out how the lights performed watch the video. Go on, go on, go on, go on. You know you want to. :tease:

It's a bit like proper caving.

An increasing number of quality caving films and lectures are appearing online. To make life a little easier in tracking these down, a new page on the Descent website has been created at https://www.wildplaces.co.uk/content/166-caving-films.

For the last 6 years I have produced an annual roundup video. 2017's film 'Best Extreme Caving Video Moments 2017 with Dudley Caving Club' was my most successful by far. It has been watched over 1.6 million times.
I?m a little behind schedule this year, but I have been beavering away over the last couple of weeks and 2018's offering is now ready for release. I've decided to experiment with YouTube's new premiere feature. If anyone wants to see how this works then you can sign up using the link below.

It premiered on YouTube this evening at 7pm. On a couple of occasions during the showing the audience briefly reached double figures. There were a handful of comments including one from a troll. Perhaps I'm not quite well known enough for YouTube Premieres - just yet anyway.
