@@kellhound1 no, these are all just single frames.

Does the 75-300mm work with a teleconverter? Would love to see the results if it does. Feel free to post the video link here when you try it out. I tried a Kenko 1.4x TC on my Sigma 150-600mm and it was awful - but if you've got a quality teleconverter it might be worth a try.

Yes I noticed the price steadily creeping up since I got mine.

Exactly. Some forget to look. Others look, but just don't see. Cheers Paul!

Cheers Scootphoria! I hope to have some similar adventures soon with my new Forza 350. I will of course have my GoPro with me for that.

No, I sold the M50 long ago. Initially I went to the M6 mark II (which was fantastic) but recently switched completely to the RF system when it became clear Canon had no intentions of continuing with the EOS M system.

@WildStuff oh wow. That makes sense. I just bought my M50 second hand. It's perfect for what I do. Light!! Takes getting used to, as I always had a bridging camera. Never focused on photography, which was mostly for content creation on SM. But things have changed. I must say I actually really love it. It's also less expensive, being South African. 😁😁

@@gotravelbug Yes it's still a great camera. I found it fast and snappy and responsive, and takes just as nice photos as any other 24 megapixel APS-C camera.

You probably own 10 sofirns and not one fenix.

I do enjoy a bit of flattery every now and then. Thanks for the comment!

Which clip are you interested in?

In most of my flashlight reviews I call that my "super scientific" test - because it is anything but. I should have another go myself now that it's getting cold here.

@@WildStuff awesome thanks, I just thought we may have got different versions of the same light.

@@dkin Fenix have also been known to make minor revisions to design and features of lights as they go, without releasing it as a whole new light. eg. early batches of the E35 v3 had mode memory, but they removed it mid-production so newer batches don't have mode memory. Hypothetically, they could have tweaked something in the TK20R v2 to improve the heat management in the 2 years since I made this review. But it's more likely just my super-scientific test and its not-so-scientific results.

@@WildStuff this i def would agree, I have 2 copies of of some of fenix lights, and they are not exact copies. As for the e35 v3 i have the one where all modes have memory mode. Thanks for clearing this up!

You mean you want to use one of my clips in a compilation? Which one are you interested in?

The ADV150 was removed from sale when Australia introduced new ABS legislation, so the ADV160 never had a chance here at all. The closest you'll find is the PCX125, Yamaha NMax 155, or maybe something from Kymco or Aprilia.

@@WildStuff that sucks man, i currently have the 160 back home and if I move to Melbourne i wanted to have the 160 again because it is my first bike and of course, already grew on me. Do you think it's possible to ship it there? haha 😂

@@wathahub I have no idea, but if I was to guess, I'd say you'd have better chances of shipping it here than buying a new one. Might be worth making some enquiries about it. Otherwise, check out the Forza 350 - I got one about 2 months ago and have totally fallen in love with it.

@@WildStuff will do check forza 350 man. I think i need to start saving up now so i can afford to ship it from the Philippines to Melbourne haha 😂. Thanks again and ride safe ✌️

I haven't for a long time. The channel has been on hold for a while due to a death in the family, but I need to start making videos again soon.

@@WildStuff fair enough I was thinking of getting into it cheers for the reply as I said in the other video I’m in mount view on a little mt 07 at the moment so could do a ride and fish vlog lol

That will give basic bulb functionality for longer exposures, but to my understanding the Canon bluetooth remote does not have any timelapse capabilities.

Yes, that red is a bit of an unfair advantage. Though I'll be making Forza 350 content soon! (new bike). Keeping the ADV150 as a backup and for Menulog deliveries.

Approx the first 1/3 of this video is at the top, the rest is at the bottom.

Yes that's fine, but just the traffic related clips, not the pets in people's yards. Cheers!

@@WildStuff Thanks a lot :)

Never really did a top-speed with the gear to find out, though I had no problems doing 80km/h on the way out to this location. I think I was briefly around the 100km/h mark on another camping trip on a gentle downhill with the wind at my back, though cruising at 85-90 was more realistic.

The same thing has happened to me with a tail button light (my UC35 v1, many years ago). Burned a hole right through the nylon pouch after I bumped the bag I was carrying it in and stunk the room up a bit..

No, the bezels are not removable.

​@@WildStuff Thanks

I have both lights, they perform the same. It all comes down to your preference in button layout, and charging style. For carrying a light in my pocket for general everyday purposes, I prefer the PD35 v3. If I was a security guard patrolling dark corridors and storage yards, then I'd likely prefer the PD35R for the ease of switching between modes in the overhand position without needing to fumble for the 2nd button. I'm also not a fan of rubber flaps over charging ports - they deteriorate and warp over time until you eventually find yourself ripping it off completely, so +1 for the PD35 v3 there, however the PD35 v3 only comes with a 2600mah battery where the PD35R comes with 3400mah. I put a 3500mah battery in my PD35 v3 and it's fantastic, but an extra battery is another hit to the budget if you don't already have a spare lying around. The PD35R charges by USB C, whereas so far, Fenix only make their USB-chargeable 18650 batteries with micro-USB ports. The PD35 v3 is also smaller than the PD35R, albeit by only a couple of millimetres here and there.

@@WildStuff Thanks a lot. I would love to see a rewiev of the PD35R on your channel, you are doing really great. It is important that they behave well in turbo mode and that it is usable even when the battery is not fully charged, that would help me decide. Thanks again and you are the best.

A cheap teleconverter would only make the image quality worse, and a quality one would cost almost as much as the lens, so it's just not worth it. In Australia the RF 2x extender is $1000 - for a similar price you could buy an 8" or 10" dobsonian telescope and get much better results.

Some wider, flood beam style lights in my collection I would suggest looking at are the original PD36R and the E35 v3. Also bear in mind that even if you had one of the other lights with a further throwing distance, all you need to do is use a lower setting to avoid upsetting your subject too much.

@@WildStuff Thanks a lot for your reply. I went with the fenix Ht 18r. What do you think?

@@knowyouryoga The HT18R is the complete opposite of a light with a wide flood beam, it will have a tight narrow and intense spot beam. Though it will be great for lighting up your owls from a distance.

@@WildStuff Oh ok I will check with your recommendation and go with one of the above

@@knowyouryoga I'd also suggest having a look at the TK16 v2.It has a nice mix of flood and throw, much like the original PD36R but more powerful.

Are you shooting with a crop sensor or a full frame body? Having 6 megapixels less than my M6 II makes me suspect perhaps you're using a 6D II or an RP (please excuse my Canon bias). Smaller sensors with higher pixel densities will have a huge advantage over full frame sensors for these sorts of shots.

@WildStuff it is a crop sensor. It's a canon M50 with an adaptor for the ef mount. I've tried both the regular adaptor and the speed booster. I just checked, turns out it is an 8mp difference. That was my mistake in my initial post

@@evanmacgiollarua1271 The M50 is quite a capable camera and should be able to produce something similar to the shots I got. Stick to the regular adaptor though - the speedbooster will be counter-productive for planetary shots. The M50 however has no socket for a shutter release cable - are you triggering the shots via a phone app? Pressing the regular shutter button to trigger the shot, no matter how gently you do it, will introduce enough shake to ruin the photo.

@WildStuff Alright, I wasn't noticing a huge difference between the speedbooster vs. the adaptor, but fair enough, I'll stick to the regular adaptor. I have tried Canon's remote shutter (connected via Bluetooth). But, I have mainly used the app due to the remote shutter having connectivity issues. I also hoped the app would give me a better resolution than the lcd screen on the camera, but sadly, I was wrong. One thing I noticed that I thought was odd was that when I tried to turn the focus ring (lower than infinity), it made the dot that is Jupiter larger. It also had the effect of making it very gray and grainy. When I went back to infinity, it turned back to the white dot with nothing to distinguish it from any other star in the sky.

I tried a cheap Kenko 1.4x TC and any benefit from the extra magnification was lost due to horrendous image quality. I sent it back for a refund. I'm sure the Canon TC's would be nice, but I could buy a proper 10" dobsonian telescope for the same price. So no, I don't think teleconverters are practical.

I haven't encountered a battery being a little bit shorter than another on account of not having a USB port. I've only used the Fenix brand batteries, and the batteries with a USB port are the same size as the ones without, (as long as they're both the same class of battery) and I can swap them between lights no problem at all. I'd be cautious about using a battery with different physical dimensions - it sounds odd to me.
