Right now there is a group purchase for the Hero GoPro 1080P HD but I am thinking that I don't want the fixed lens, and it only has mono sound. Coupled also with the fact that there is no way to look at the video until you get to a computer, but I am still thinking about it as it comes with the waterproof case. My camcorder is waterproof but only 480p. All of my video since mid December has been hd720p30 taken with a Lumix ZS3 which I just love. The other problem with the GoPro is the file limition of 4 GIG which is being corrected soon by a firmware upgrade. <br /><br />I spend a lot more time editing video than Blogging. The last video I posted was over 600 megs and took 2 tries on YouTube. My laptop kept timing out creating upload errors. Another VBLOGGER is Dave in Turkey. His link is on my sidebar. Travels with a HONDA Transalp etc . . .<br /><br />bob<br /><a href="http://www.wetcoastscootin.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">bobskoot: wet coast scootin</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-39845764696776000142010-02-17T06:30:13.173-06:002010-02-17T06:30:13.173-06:00Thanks Sojourner!

Thanks for the kind words. The Ural su...Dear Jack,<br /><br />Thanks for the kind words. The Ural suspension is better than I expected too. The kart side is better than the motorcycle side (tug) too.<br /><br />The mount is fun. I used to use it on cars. The adjustments are very easy as it only has two knobs. I've never had this mount come off a car or a bike. On the bike, I do have a safety strap. I don't want it flying off down the road in case it does fail.<br /><br />There isn't much of a trick to get the panavise to stick. Make sure sure both the panavise and the surface are clean. I like to use microfiber. Stick the panavise to the surface, push in the button, and then pull back the lever. It makes a very tight seal. <br /><br />Other suction cup mounts I've used for my phone when I had a car didn't have the button and lever to increase the suction pressure and frequently fell off.<br /><br />I'm glad you enjoyed the video, and thanks for commenting.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06606446271603142230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-6835448984886796852010-02-12T11:24:02.803-06:002010-02-12T11:24:02.803-06:00Dear Chris Luhman:
I am not a big fan of typical ...Dear Chris Luhman:<br /><br />I am not a big fan of typical blog video for a number of reasons: The first is the quality, the second is the subject matter, which tends to be predictable; and the third is the technical end, which costantly eludes my Amish-like command of electronics.<br /><br />That being said, I found your little presentation today to be genuinely intriguing and very interesting from the production standpoint. <br /><br />I expected a really jumpy picture. I thought the vibration factor in these shots was low and very manageable. I didn't think the wind noise was a significant factor either. (The suspension on the Ural must be a lot better than I thought.) The ability of the mount to quickly change the field of view on the camera was impressive too.<br /><br />I am very interested in the camera mount, and for $20, it doesn't cost much to experiment. I have had my Garmin GPS fly off the inside windshield of my truck on more than ome occasion. It lands on the carpeted floor or soft seat. A camera coming off my bike wouldn't fare so well (though I would have a cable attachment too, just in case). Is there a trick to maximizing the suction/connector of mounts like these?<br /><br />And finally, your demonstration had just enough editing to make me rethink the potential of video to tell a story. Thank you for posting this today.<br /><br />Fondest regards,<br />Jack • reep • Toad<br />Twisted Roads<br />New blog posts every Monday and ThursdayJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.com
