Checking out the BBC Cameras for Bahamas


When the vehicle arrived with 5 containers we all naturally assumed they were checking out all of the cameras we would be taking to the Bahamas! Actually we were wrong - this was the storage for one of the latest HD units. It took about 45 minutes to put the whole thing together and then we had to create a vacuum in the housing which showed whether it was watertight by using an altimetre of all things. Well, with a value of just shy of £100K it would not be good to get a leak! Even in the "cloudy" water of Eastney it achieved some amazing results. Next stop Nassau .....
