Really glad you enjoy the blog. The XL is still very much in use (I was filming crickets/grasshoppers with it only the other day). No otters yet... but there's still hope. Your films are great. When can we expect the "Ron C" blog? Hi Ron. Really glad you enjoy the blog. The XL is still very much in use (I was filming crickets/grasshoppers with it only the other day).
