I find that the dules I'm looking at are quite similar to the slomotion
action shots in a movie...  effective in the right placement but a big drag
if the whole film was slo-mo huh? If your confident of your abilities then

seconds, perhaps more. . and maybe not keep in a dule mode with two or more
engaged... depends on skill somewhat
