II was actually quite scary. I didn't expect such a turn of speed!

@@filmmakingmadYou would expect them to be slow on single branch lines but they don't hang about just like the main lines. Single lines are more closed in so that increases effect too. I traveled up there behind the Stanier 8f and Leander about 3-4 years ago and it was brilliant. The two engines did not hang about either.

Absolutely true.

I agree. I used to be a bell ringer in my teens decades ago.

@@filmmakingmad Me too! I'm 68; but in my teens I was 'Tower Captain' of St Laurence-in-Thanet, Ramsgate, Kent. I then used to ring at Brancepeth, and the Cathedral, with the Durham University Society of Change Ringers.

Thank you for your comment. The microphone used was Sony and maybe I hadn't set the limiters on the camera. Personally, for commercial work, I prefer to have a sound recordist with a boom mic and mixer tethered to the camera to monitor the sound closely. That was not possible on that day. Incidentally, any auto settings in these circumstances would be very likely to be problematical especial with the cacophony of ambient sounds on this occasion. I hope this helps.

Crampons, ice axe, snowshoes and cross country skis are all required for this year's race! Seriously, I have not heard from Craig what the situation is at the moment, despite the 'hysteria from Siberiia' it doesn't look ideal to say the least.!

filmmakingmad i checked the weather it's snowing and 1degrees do you reckon it will be cancelled

filmmakingmad also I don't have crapons or any winter hiking kit

Hi this is the information I have received check the WFRA facebook page.on Saturday morning. More snow probably tonight. Hope this helps.

So you hear the bells clearly, a real treat.

filmmakingmad no near the wash area I hear them when I'm there

I

@@filmmakingmad 12 bells plus a flat 6th

Thank you for your comments. The story of those who were regarded as the Celtic saints coming from the south by sea with traders is absolutely fascinating. Remember too the legend of Joseph of Aramathea as a metal trader and the connections to the lead of the Mendip hills and the the Cornish mines.

I totally agree. I was using it all last week for a travel doc. It is a joy to use for this type of production. Best wishes.

I'm sorry to have responded earlier to you kind comments, I've just noticed, I'm afraid.

Yes, those were the days!

I used to ring when I was a teenage. Great fun wonderful people.

I'm really pleased you enjoyed the video. Thank you for your fascinating family connection. It is a lovely place.

mae'n fendigedig!!

Hello. I have no issues with the auto focus. The low light capabilities are quite satisfactory when shooting in 1080p but you have to be aware that the lens is not a constant aperture type. When you zoom in the aperture closes and then you can be in real trouble with noise. As I have not upgraded to 4k with this camera so no comment be made about its performance at these resolutions. I hope this helps, Regards.

Thank you John. It was a great sight. It was a pity I could not make the outward journey as well.

It certainly takes some beating. Just sitting and waiting for the train was a pleasure.

Thank you for your kind comments. The small group has made good progress as shown on the Dolgarrog Railway website.

+filmmakingmad Sounds good,ile check ur website out now👍

Hi George. There is just one screw hole one the base of the camcorder to fix to tripod etc. Hope this is helpful.

thank you for your response. May i ask if you know if pxw x70 can fit in a gimbal like Beholder DS1 ?

I understand that the Beholder DS1 is designed for DSLRs and mirrorless cameras such as the Panasonic GH4.

+David Howarth Yes it certainly is. In about three weeks, it will make the return trip. It was a smooth very well planned and executed operation.

+Valentin Ardeleanu Hello, thank you for your question. Actually, I used a Lumix GH4 in both video and still mode. I do prefer to use the X70 for video as it's form factor is so much easier to use. I have been using the X70 today. Regards

+filmmakingmad Thank you very much for your quick reply. After all this time how do you find X70? Do you think this cam will stand for Christening events or weddings? Is the image quality satisfy the taste as great?

+Valentin Ardeleanu Hello again. My answer to your question is a definite yes. If you are using it handheld the optical stabilisation is good. I really like this small camera as it is very convenient to use. However, there are two points to bear in mind. The lens is very good but it is not a constant aperture throughout the zoom range. You can be caught out with noise in low light situations if you zoom in too far! Some users have reported audio noise issues when using an external shotgun mic. I've not had any troubles with a Sony or a mic from a JVC GY-HD100. Hope this is helpful.

+filmmakingmad Thank you very much for your prompt response and advise. Have a nice day.
