Trip to Toronto Aquarium. Shot in 4K. Testing Sony A73, 24mm f1.4, 16-35mm f4 and Weebill Lab
April 11, 2019 by Cruising Off Duty | Language: EN Play Time: 00:25:43 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
In this episode of Cruising Off Duty, we have a 3 day weekend off but with the snow and cold, we can not do our usual boat prep work to get our sailboat ready to go into the water. So, we decide to take a road trip to Toronto to go check out the Ripleys Aquarium and downtown Toronto. It gave me an opportunity to test my new Camera gear. The Sony A73, Sony 16-35mm f4, and my new Sony G-Master 24mm F1.4 lenses along with my powered gimbal, the Weebill Lab. As I will be taking this new gear with me on my 10,000-mile Sailing voyage out of South Africa, it is important to get the gear tested and dialled in to know what they do well and not so well now.
Here are links to the gear I reference in this episode if you would like to check out the latest prices and reviews.

Cruising Off Duty
Welcome to Cruising Off Duty. We are Craig and Janice. We love travelling and we love sailing, so we figure the best way to see the world is by sailboat. We presently have a 35' Beneteau Oceanis sloop that we sail out of Kingston, Ontario Canada, which is on Lake Ontario. We have a longer term plan, when we retire in a few years, to sell everything and buy a 40-50' Catamaran and circumnavigate the globe. Craig loves photography along with land based and drone videography and plans to document everything along our travels to share with the world through Youtube and other social media. For now, follow our channel as we show you the beauty of the Great Lakes and the 1000 Islands area of the St Lawrence River. You will also see the steps we take as start narrowing down the Catamaran we think will suit us best as we move closer to our goal of living full time on a sailboat and exploring the world. It should be a journey worth watching.
