Do me a favour!! The weather conditions we are legal to fly in are bloody challenging. Read the CAP document on the CAA website, I think most pilots would accept that visual flying in those conditions (1 km by day/2km by night) are near enough all weather!! When it gets like that, the camera performance is the limitation, not the weather.
True, some are not H24, but many of us are!! It doesn't happen often, but when you launch in these conditions, you suddenly realise that you should be paid a lot more!!
