Extraordinary image stability even in max zoom. Realizing major raids in the mountains, which force to restrict maximum equipment, I have chosen for its versatility video / photo and stability because having one foot is excluded. The small built-in video projector, much maligned as a useless gadget, and well I think the nice evening at the refuge ... but greedy so I a flexible solar panel, stretched over the backpack, to recharge batteries. The 5.1 sound is good and the small windscreen (included) well cut the wind. Plan to add a neutral filter to protect the lens. It is necessary but it must tinker a bit to prevent rotation of the supplied lens hood.
