I recently went to Liverpool to get my car serviced. I took the opportunity while I was there to test out a couple of video cameras that I was thinking of taking on holiday.The cameras I took out with me were a DJI Pocket II and a Sony X3000. I’m glad I did this, as both cameras proved unsuitable for the upcoming trip, so instead I bought a new one that will do the job of both. More on this perhaps when I return but in the meantime though here’s the footage I short whilst killing time in Liverpool.

Be warned - the video is quite rough in parts - but that was also really the point. I was testing out their 'run and gun' capabilities. While I’m here I’ll mention that I’ve only been to Liverpool perhaps ten or so times in my life, all of those were brief trips too, so I’m definitely not a suitable tour guide.

Oh and the thing in the video I was attempting to eat for lunch was a ‘world famous salt & pepper box’ - something I’d seen online https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/whats-on/food-drink-news/tried-liverpools-famous-salt-pepper-17454220 (warning - this page has more spam than Hawaii). The audio where I explained this was unfortunately lost to the wind …and rain.

Have a good one.

A day in Liverpool (PATREON VIDEO)

I took the car to Liverpool for a service. Since I had all day to kill in the city I took the opportunity to test out a couple of cameras. Here's what I recorded.

Excellent & entertaining! I tried pausing the video and scanning the QR code off the screen - registration closed, oh well.. The Insta360 X3 is excellent for making this sort of video, captures video from all directions all the time. You can point it anywhere while shooting and have the app follow you with the occasional reframing to see things from 'behind the camera' in post.
