Is that your vid? Was wondering on the camera, is it the 110 angle or the 90?

I want snow and lots of it!!!!!
thanks for sharing.

I use the Contour Vholder 1080p HD Helmet Cam

135 degrees

Puts out a very nice picture. My kind of riding too. I just bought the POV with the 90. What do you use to edit your vids?

 

[tudizzle]

man....90 seems like a really narrow field of view?

this video was shot in 110 and I couldn't imagine going any smaller..its hard to get the sled and horizon in for perspective

I edit with a cheap program..corel pro2

It is a little narrow but I got a good deal on it, I can buy the 110 camera for 200 bucks and have both for the same price. I am still trying to get the camera angle right, with the 90 I think it is going to beharder to get, for the best pic.

Does the corel pro work allright? or would you go with another?

 

[tudizzle]

the program does not work good for me...crashes alot.

going to try something new this year...not sure what yet?

Does it normally take a long time to download on youtube, had about an 6 minute vid of the bike and it toke amost an hour and a half to get it loaded.

wow someone is paying attention


when I (well skibreeze actually) did the install I had that hood piece off and upside down. So a hole was cut on the wrong side..oops. So I just fab'd up a frame and screeen to match...yeah I meant to do that!!

So its just a hot air vent...that actually cranks out the heat.

What is up with the Throttle on top?

What is up with the Throttle on top?

Just the way I roll....normally throttle with the arch in my hand between my thumb and fingers.

Makes it easier on drops...have no choice but to throttle out!!

I use the Contour Vholder 1080p HD Helmet Cam

i have the same cam - picture seems too bright on a blubird day. Is there a way to adjust brightness? Overall - awesome cam

 

[tudizzle]

While the camera is attached to your computer there are bunch of adjustable settings. I use mainly the default settings but if you look on the contour forum there are guys tweeking with the settings and reporting their results.

someone on here recommended a good bright setting...let me see if I can find it

another sledders advice on settings for sunny days

Ok. I also used my camera with factory settings, but didnt like how the videos came out in sunshine and snow.

Got a tip to try this:
Contrast 45, Exposure -4, Sharpness +5 Metering Average.
