    Ahoy folks! In preparation for Nats, I experimented with a fancy new 360-degree camera and waterproof case. The test resulted in a very hefty video file, but it's now on YouTube for your enjoyment.

    tip 1) 360 video should be viewed at a high resolution. If it looks poor, crank up the pixel count. The raw footage was 5.7k.
    tip 2) you can look around! Use the mouse to click and drag wherever you want to go.
    tip 3) battle begins at 4:25, and the Baden sinks at 18:00

    Filmed with a Insta360 One X in a waterproof case. All up weight approx 8oz, including battery and case. The case did not get hit during the battle, so no guarantees how strong it is. I will probably wrap a protective rubber layer around the base next time, just to be safe.

    The 360 view is pretty cool, is there any way to lock the view so that the camera turns with the boat, instead of staying still? That part was kind of annoying.
