Techie question: Do you know what caused the sound problem around 30 seconds in? I got the same sort of thing filming 60163 at Shildon but haven't noticed anything like it before or since.

Lovely shot I hardly need add.

My suspicion is that it may be caused by a mobile phone especially an I Phone or Blackberry or possibly the overhead wires. But I had a really bad problem at the Severn Valley gala where there were no wires about! It is certainly intermittant and something I've noticed on other peoples videos too.

@acw71000 So no idea then...

I was haunting Shildon last weekend (Deltics) where there'd have been plenty of 'phones. I've also just looked through about 10 minutes of footage from Darlington shot yesterday- plenty of catenary there and a nearby substation and, as you note, that wouldn't account for problems at the SVR. (Just watched BTW- another gem.)

How about mic's? Mine's an Audio-Technica Pro24-CM short shotgun.

[acw71000]

I've had the same problem on both of my mics. a Rode Videomic and Sennheiser MKE400. Further investigation is obviously required!

@acw71000 Nothing in common there then. Panasonic camera?

[acw71000]

I do use a Panasonic and although I get the noise on my Canon too I think it's worse on the Panny.

@acw71000 Looks like it might just be one of those occasional nuisances that is conveniently overlooked when anyone with an interest is explaining how digital is so much better than analogue. "Ah DVD picture quality is better than video." Of course it is... until one speck of dust gets on the disc and the whole screen freezes or the player jumps to the next index point.

It is always pleasant to see passing.

Thanks Keith, not often we see a GW intruder up here!

This must have been the one I got a brief glimpse of, passing through LSP. Great stuff....Keith
