      I believe a person should be required to post the reason for the dislike -as well as a suggestion on how to make the video more to his/her liking. That way, a person would have to give 2nd thoughts on the thumb down. He or she might still give a 👎, but it would take a bit more time to have it count.
      Ridiculous.
      Thanks to the Hendrys for entertaining and educating us for several years now!

    I might have studied Mechanical Engineering, but I cant fix cars either. My friends and family have brought me cars to fix and they shocked when I tell them I cant. I tell them if you want to know what will it take for your wheels to break off I can probably do that. If you want someone to put the wheel back on GET a MECHANIC.

I had to comment because while camped in Kafue NP Zambia I 'had to' leave my tent in the early hours of the morning and walk about 25 metres to the toilet/shower block. When I got there someone had left the door wide open. I've never forgotten that feeling of apprehension when I walked in not knowing what else might have been in there. Particularly as we had lions walking through the camp the previous night.

    Hi James, awesome videos of your trip to Botswana. Do the chobe4*4 vehicles have an inverter to charge your camera batteries? What focal length do you recommend for Botswana? Can you hire the door rig for mounting a fluid head? Could you please list all your camera equipment for this trip? We are thinking of doing a similar trip to Botswana. Thanks.

    • @JamesHendry
      @JamesHendry  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Quentin, yes Chobe4x4 vehicles can include an inverter if you ask for one. We charged all our gear using the USB ports in the vehicle which was perfect. The door rig is called a safari car mount - we got it second hand from a camera shop in Joburg.
      Camera equipment: Sony A7iii and Sony A6300, big lens was a Sony 200mm - 600mm. We also used a Gopro Hero 8, and Rode Microphones.
      It was such a great trip, hope you get to do it too!
