6 NOVEMBER 64 Rain squalls in the A.M. and a general lack of birds through- the day resulted in no footage taken. Due to the constant rolling of the ship the shot shoulder harness was fitted and may be of great use for rough weather. The speed of 48 FPS may sufficiently slow the hand-held movements to make them less noticeable on the screen. (Not true! J.P.) Using the hand-held feature ires one easily & quickly due to the weight and bulkiness of the equipment. A model running speeds even faster than 50 FPS would be useful in these respects!
