thanks for all Pedro. I like all you posted this year and I'm happy to see that you found a solution for the next season.
Take care (I sure you do), protect your skin and have a good time.

So u are tapeing hd and in the same time,u look in the opposite direction...a must..
mmmh ! did you shoot yourself ! We will all be interested by your results...
The beaches where Pedro goes are quiet little so he can't be really far of the girls or other people around.
So he has and wants to be the more discreet he can. And as he explains, he is afraid too of the sand (even if a lot of his beaches are with stones I think...)
And honestly you've to know another things : on summer, the sand/stones are really hot and create 'warm vapors". It means that farther you are, lower quality you'll get, even with a huge optical zoom, especially when the cam is located near the ground.

It doesn't have zoom but is rugged like hell. And looking at the above link it looks like the shots were at very close range so a wide angle could well be used.

It's got great time lapse functions as well for continuous shots..
mmmh ! I don't think so because sometimes I think he used a zoom. And with a wide angle like this, you'll have to be at 5 meters of the girls to get a good video. And you can't be so close in general, only on a crowded beach where everybody is looking and checking people around = danger danger...

see u
