What a surprise, Gordon!
I love this, the very last of the 3-mast wooden “Royal Research Vessels” and the history of the brave men who explored the harshest Antarctica environments! What a treasure for folk to keep for future generations. Almost all the great exploration ships have been lost!
But this was such a surprise! I really thought you had just “discovered” RRS, the company
“Really Right Stuff” and their incredible way of well machined Arca Swiss type attachments, such as L-brackets and tripod mounts and tripods!
If there was a new expedition to some tough environment, likely as not, the photographers would get support gear from RRS. I have their plates, gimbals and ball heads and love them!
