The Dave Oliver Video spotting guide is an outstanding product!

The video runs about 40 minutes, and is presented with easy to understand
graphics, severe weather terminology, and covers all elements of basic
spotting, chasing, and photography.

This tape can be easily understood by the beginner as well as the advanced
spotter.

In fact, as a comparison, I recently had the chance (not chase) to show
several videos to a experienced chaser and asking for his opinion as to
which tapes would be good for all around general audiences.

We compared the recently issued NWS Storm Watcher video (issued by TESSA)
and the Dave Oliver tape. It was a hands down favorite for the Oliver tape.
Also, the WCM at the NWS office here in southeastern Wisconsin has also
chosen the Oliver tape.

I have viewed just about everything on the market, and must add that a lot
depends on your audience. The TESSA tape in my opinion is a first class
production, but I feel it is more for the advanced spotters, or perhaps
for the central plains areas. Here in the upper midwest, the severe weather
community is not as intense as in the plains, and unless we get some real
activity, interest varies.

A serious skywarn responder should make an  attempt to have all the tapes
recently mentioned in the past few postings.
 Each one is produced by people who are very-very knowledgeable
and have the best interests for all of us.

I would enjoy hearing the opinions of others...
