    Thought I'd try out the Arken Zulus capabilities, and took to the backyard without turning the IR on. Full moon provides more than enough light. Thoroughly impressed. 251022

    It's not complicated, I waltz thru customs with shit 3 to 4 times a year. Can't understand how they charge so much for postage, oops ah yes it's Oz. Aliexpress send gear from China at minimum cost.
