canon powershot sx30 is clip 2 hoverflies

canon powershot sx30 is with raynox dcr-250 close up lens. You definitely need a good tripod. My tripod is an old velbon one that weighs a ton but hey its pretty sturdy.
This is a great camera for macro insect videos with the raynox DCR-250 attached.
Your main problem is focussing the thing without scaring away insects.
I focussed on a flower and waited here as there were tons of hoverflies around these flowers.
Focus distance is approx 6 inches from end of lens.
This vid was shot around 11AM, I went back later but there was no sign of activity at all.
This is the raw file no processing.
It records at around 3MB per sec.
I had this in manual settings and just hit the video record button.
I have no idea if this affects anything or not but I'm happy with the result.
