On a trip away we came upon an old coastal defense tower called a Martello Tower. Here is a short vlog of that trip, filmed on my go to vlog camera at the moment, the DJI Osmo Pocket 3, and the tiny portable drone, the DJI Neo. The DJI Neo gets a lot of negative comments on the quality of the video footage and some call it a toy! I sold my DJI Mini 2 fly more combo to buy this. It's small, portable and so handy and easy to carry around in my 'man bag'. I was going to see if I needed to edit the Neo footage in Davinci Resolve but on my monitor it looked kind of ok so I left it as is, straight out of the camera. What do you think?

Check out my channel for more reviews on the DJI Neo Drone and the DJI Osmo Pocket 3. I have a few more cameras but tend to use these the most.

Martello Tower C Jaywick

Martello Tower C was built in 1812 in Jaywick, Essex. The main armament of the Tower was a heavy 24-pounder cannon and two 5.5 inch howitzers. The cannon could fire a 5.8 inch cast iron ball for up to a mile at approaching ships. The howitzers fired containers full of metal balls or shrapnel that were particularly effective at close range against groups of enemy soldiers.

In front of the Tower was a gun battery. The battery consisted of a brick wall faced with earth to absorb the impact ​of enemy fire. Behind the wall were three 24-pounder cannons. All the guns were mounted on pivots to give a greater field of fire. The Tower was armed until 1819 when the guns were removed. In 1835 the Tower was rearmed with one cannon only.
