    NORTH CYPRUS

    Hi Rob, I used to work out in North Cyprus up until about 8 years ago so my info maybe a little out of date but hopefully some of it is still useful. There should be plenty of photo ops in Grine/Kyrenia, the old harbour and caste are pretty cool. Nicosia would be worth a visit but will be very...

    Alienware experience

    I personally like alienware laptops but they are overpriced, heavy and have a poor battery life as others have said. However they do what they say on the tin. I would be tempted if I was buying one now to go with a lower spec gpu and get the external graphics box to stick a pc gpu in when at...

    GTX 970 or new GTX 1060

    The gtx 970 supports sli and the 1060 does not so if you intend to take advantage of cheap second hand gtx 970's (selling for around £130 on various forums) they could be the way forward. Obviously if your comparing new prices the 1060 is a better option as its newer, performs better with less...

    USB BATTERY PACK

    I use an Anker-PowerCore (20100-Capacity) for my phone and tablet and its pretty good. I'm sure it could charge a gopro a few times. It goes on offer fairly regularly for about £20.

    Head torch?

    Another Alpkit Gamma vote from me, I always use them on expeditions and for the price you can go wrong.

    Continuous Power - Canon EOS 1100D

    Personally I would probably try with the screen off and do a test, you could always add a battery grip if there's not enough juice. I think your probably ok depending on how many shots you want an hour etc. I'm sure someone with alot more experience with time lapse or star trails etc will...
