A friend just sent me a link to an interesting website that sells special video cameras that would be perfect for your RIB or speed boat. I have not tried these cameras out so please let me know if you have any experience of them.
The site describes them as :
Professional Bullet Camera Kits
They say that their motto is
“if it moves, stick a camera on it”.
Our mission is to supply the very finest quality video equipment backed up by top quality service.
You can use our helmet cameras for whatever sports activities you get up to.
Much better than simply trying to hold a camcorder. Make your own professional quality video recordings using outrageous movie style angles capturing every exhilarating moment. Keep your memories alive forever!
Show your friends and family exactly what you experience with tiny video cameras giving them a “Your eye view” of the all things you get up to at the weekend.
I have just read a really interesting article in the Telegraph, It talks about the work of a man called David Stogdon, who has died aged 89. David Stogdon said “there should be no more lifeboat widows” and as a result of his ideas he was a driving force behind the change of boat style used by the RNLI to a RIB. These RIBs are used today by our lifeboat service(RNLI) and others around the world.
Stogdon set out to design a lifeboat which could not be sunk and which would not capsize and trap its crew.
It’s been some of the most unpleasant weather ever recorded in March this last week. Ships have stopped sailing, Aircraft have been delayed and houses flooded.
Knowing that Our Ballistic RIBs are some of the only boats capable of crossing the Solent safely in these very unpleasant conditions, JBT Marine were contacted by Mr Harmesh Pooni who was in need of a ration pack containing his favourite breakfast cereal. (Crunchy nut cornflakes)
JBT Marine like a challenge, so we immediately got our Ballistic 7.8 RIB ready for the mission and made the epic high speed trip across the Solent to No Mans Land Fort where we delivered the rations in perfect condition for Mr Pooni’s breakfast.
Whilst we were at it we decided to try our hand at making a RIB video, Have a look below.
