Get some RainX for the lens.
Apparently the flat lens is even worse for getting snow stuck over it.

great tip!  How well does that work for use in say rain or on a rafting trip?

Works unreal in the surf, so it will be sweet for any water sport I reckon!!!!!

Cool, I’ll tell my mate at work who is about to go rafting.

It’s also great stuff to use on the outer lens of goggles etc too!!!!!

I keep a chux wipe that’s been soaked in it inside a zip lock bag, that way I can retreat it if need be!!!!!

Nothin spoils footage like water on the outer lens, and fog on the inner!!!!!

i took mine to the beach the other day and the underwater footage was great, your right about getting drops stuck on the flat lens bit but it didnt happen too often for me tho, took a time lapse also of a sunset near my house and it goes alright!!

120fps at 720 works great for slowmo even without using AE, ill try and post some skating footage soon but ive been kinda busy with work and trying to learn to surf haha

Mate what a great idea.  You could also use it chloroform the missus if she starts going a bit batshit.

i did a test run the other day with it, got a time lapse of the sun rising (but its crappy and cloudy :( ) so ill try again for a clear day!!  but ill probs upload it anyways..  also did a test run of under water footage.. i cant believe the clarity!!  shot it in 2.7k at 30fps then tested 1080p at 60fps while bush walking, when i get some time ill put them up..

i just have to either get on my pc at home of on mr.h0zs pc as this laptop (my main pc at his) has almost no space left on the hdd lol! hopefully towards the weekend ill have some time as work has been hectic!! (worked 9-7 today and starting at 4am tomorrow to make 27 platters… kill me now! haha)
