Nice one. Great job on the video. Hectic stuff. Bet you're glad you took a trailer...?! Were there some expensive repair bills?

The trailer was fun to tow up the pass, No breakages on the D3, some minor body damage on the Range Rover Classic, and a Disco1 snapped of a side shaft. 2012 Discovery 4 SDV6 SE 50mm Suspension Lift, Front Runner RR, Drawers, Tuffstuff Underbody Armour.

Hi Marius
Can you tell me more about your 50mm suspension lift.
did you do this through re-programming the system or do you adjust the height sensors?
thanks

Nice vid. How do you process (or with what software...) the video so that the horizon stays the level even when the camera tilts?

(We do a lot of kayaking and that would be a really neat effect.)

Cheers

Spectacular scenery, thanks for sharing, any more videos or pics? At least from the video I would risk to say better driving than this lot &feature=youtube_gdata_player. It may be helpfull to explain the challenge this pass presents and mention that recently a D4 with standard road tyres went up this pass ! A few mods... and keeping it all running...Faultmate MSV2

Thanks for sharing.

Was the trailer much of a pain in the Censored while trying to get throught the tough sections ? IDTOOL PRO / Faultmate programing and BAS remaping services in Norway.

The Baboons Pass is situated in Lesotho, its originally been built to get a couple of Unimogs up the mountain to a vilage to help build a school, so you have lose round rocks the size of soccer balls and big rocks that tumbeled off the mountain in the roads etc. lost of packing and tight squeezes. The trailer helped in some areas but its was a challenge to tow it up there.

With regards to the video I used Adobe Premier, and its YouTube that's got the option to stabalize the video.
