Thanks but no thanks. Might just leave it as is for the moment. When I get a replacement, I'll let you test your 'soldering skills'
in terms of camerawork, well, just when it looks like frank spencer has dropped his bike and can't move it, you drop the camera a bit - obviously to help I expect, then, I, finally drive it home and camera moves
