Those Nikon's are a beast, we use one as a back up cause the new collector doesn't hook up to it. But if I had a choice that would be my main traverse instrument.
Yes that camera on your new phone is better. The footage of the Xtratufs confirmed it. Have a great vacation and post a couple videos from your bear hunt if you can.
Hey Jed, it's been a while, I have had many problems. I have had three computers crash in the past year and lost two good hard drives. So I am back flying with one wing and a prayer. The Doc told me I have some heart problems and the big D just like you but not nearly as bad as you deal with.
