Hey guys,

Anyone done this? Know much about it?

Looking for an easy light weight small solution that can take the cold (minus 20C anyone)

Something that'll work universally on the 5D2 and 3

Thanks!
Jake

Had considered this but embedding into the image is much cooler

Thing is Phal, we are going to be going exploring - it'll be hard to pinpoint it afterwards.

Thanks Phal, I shall check those out

Phate · 23 Aug 2012 at 15:29

Awesome, thanks

I'm iOS only though!

I'll look through the app store...

Although thinking about it...that would cost me a fortune in data fees :eek:

Back to a camera accessory I think!

Awesome dude, how much do they cost?

Phate · 23 Aug 2012 at 17:09

Any recommendations on which one?

Looks epic, for £30 you cannot complain!

I'll order one tomorrow and have a play about, thanks mate

No worries, it's a great little unit!

The onboard memory will keep months of tracks so no problems if you're going on epic adventures!

Operation temperature says it goes down to -10 degrees. I just read at the top you're going to -20!

I'll keep it in my pocket

- Got to buy proper clothing for this :eek:

so it should be ok!

Please post here how you get on with it, I would be interested to know

Sure, I've asked the guys I'm going with if they want me to order them one each as well at the same time, if this does everything MS says it does then we should be sorted!

How long does the battery typically last Mint?

Ah we won't be roughing it, come on dude you've met me...do I look like the type?

Going out for a day, heading back to freshen up, eat and head back out at night though is definitely going to happen so can charge then

Have we met??

In that case, since it sounds like you're going to be holidaying in a really cold place I'd say the Holux is probs going to be the best choice! Plus you could take it on your nights out and then in the morning when you have no memory, you could look at the tracks on Google Earth to see all the places you went to.

Ah my bad! I'm thinking of Malt Vinegar! Sorry, long day

GPS logging won't cost you anything, you can do it with your data connection turned off, it just takes a little longer to lock a signal when you start the app.

Good point.

Still, I'm going to order this logger...seems like just the ticket!
