@OasisPlanet_ @robbiewilliams I'd love to see Robbie and @Oasis touring together next year, especially at Knebworth. Can you imagine...

Spent yesterday morning cutting hedges, then after lunch binge watched @Lucysheps latest adventure. In awe of the team and the journey they undertook. Being a camera nerd I was happy to see the Canon XA camcorder still being used! Watch: https://t.co/P3bwKxwvAH

12 Years ago I was at @Sonisphere Festival at Knebworth for a full weekend of Metal. The bands were amazing, but it was the fans who stole the show... Can't wait for EddFest!

@DGS120 @YouTube I have the 10-20mm and the 18-105mm, both F4. I'm not one for shooting at F1.4. I like to see some background! Remember it's a S35 sensor so your 10mm is roughly 16mm equivalent angle of view. Would also recommend the smallrig cage. Protects and offers mountnig points.

@DGS120 @YouTube The Sony UWP-D radio mics with MI hotshoe adapter work really well. I also use the DJI mics on a gimbal, do notice some latency though. I also use a 416, would always try to get it off camera as you will get handling noise as the FX30 is so small.

@DGS120 @YouTube I've always loved camcorders, I've had pretty much all small models from Sony, last was the Z90 and I had a Z200 for a while. The FX30 is the sweetspot, not full frame, not a 1" sensor. Picture look great, it's small, quick and easy to use with amazing focus.

Great to get hands on with the @liveu LU900Q today at the @mpts_london show. Very smart piece of kit.

@LiveU I’ve been bellowing at the control app…

@tonyblackburn @bushontheradio Am I the only one loving the reply from Radio Royalty?

[Simon Beer @basecampfilms]

@bushontheradio This!

@TomSykesUK @PremierInns_UK I stayed in Premier Inn Coventry East two weeks ago - that was an experience. Last week I stayed in a Moxy - very cool, staff were amazing, food reminded me of Wetherspoons.

[Simon Beer @basecampfilms]

@TimmyMallett That is amazing!

[Simon Beer @basecampfilms]

@VCMM @MarkHeath45 Absolutely, loved this. The lyrics resonate more the older I get.

@AnthonyIsaacs Must resist all large organ jokes…

@Col45398669 For some reason this appeared in my feed. I have one but never thought about labelling it with tyre pressures - genius move. I have scribbled instructions on mine with sharpie reminding how to change from bar to psi.

@bushontheradio Legal team? You've changed. A year ago this would have been settled in a Homebase car park!
