Equipment scouting

Booked myself an overnight DB train to Düsseldorf (148€ return, in a 6 persons sleeper compartment) in order to attend boot 2008.

As far as I know, it's one of the biggest annual watersports fairs in Europe, and the ideal ground to get a look at existing & upcoming offerings from various manufacturers and dealers.

Of special interest to me this year are of course any affordable camcorder & housing solutions, compact & lightweight enough for underwater overhead environment exploration, not to mention extremely restrictive air travel.

Who knows, with a bit of luck I may find myself a good deal. Actually, this project kind of depends on me getting any deal there at all.
