Certainly is (once ratified by UIM)

I will post a bit of a report as soon as I have crafted some words... meanwhile I have edited a video of the record... the first bumpy part was in the dark so there is no video, then from Cork to Crookhaven was also a little painful, but we had run out of space on the SD card...

Would love to know how your sequences were filmed?

Filmed using a new GoPro Fusion 360 camera, its amazing. Having downloaded each clip, you then edit on your phone by filming the portion of the 360 video (tilting the phone, pinching to zoom, and moving the phone around to use the gyroscope in the phone), then editing it all together on your PC.

My favourite piece is the last 30 seconds...

The camera films 360 degrees, everything in 5.2k... when you edit, you select the view you want and the pan, zoom etc, it’s really neat.
