    Someone sent me a link of a Gadget Show - or something like Gadget show test of a couple of those. One was something like £27,000 and could support a normal sized SLR, so pretty much broadcast quality HD video and all controlled from a tablet. The other was much more sensible, but with a relatively low quality camera, but still quite a cool thing to have.

    Can I find the link? No I can't. Sorry.
    Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

          I like specs, it also has video capability which you can look at on a screen or with special video glasses. The manufacturer

          Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.
