DJI Bluetooth remote The DJI Osmo Action 5 has impressed me with how many of the images it captures are of a reasonable quality for an action cam however it completely misses sometimes when I try take a photo. The issue is the shutter button on the top of the […]

This is my 7th motorcycle tour in New Zealand. It’s one of my favourite places in the world. For this ride I am returning to the South Island (Te Waipounamu). The South arguably has the best scenery although personally I think the North Island is right up there and has […]
