Finished my first vid shot with the GoPro HD

[Dammit!]

Go to the link and turn on HD to watch it in 720p. You have to change it from 360p to 720p in the lower right of the video window.

Took a while to figure Premiere out. Upcoming vids should be a lot better. The main thing I was trying to accomplish with this one was just figuring out how everything worked.

very cool video, i enjoy watching stuff like this

cool aspect with the cam under the skid plate

[CanadianThomas]

Dammit! That's a cool video dude. Thanks for the link to the 720p version, makes a big difference

[hang&rattle]

Thanks Dammit. Been waiting for something new from you, been checking your channel and waiting. Your Vids just make a feller feel good, that 'warm, fuzzy feeling (shower fresh feeling) all day long' feeling.

Very nice Dammit! What mount did you use to attach to the skid plate?

Are you part of the gopro forums?

EDIT- Place a piece of electrical tape around the sides and top of the shutter button to eliminate/deafen the "clicking" sound your getting on some of the hard mounted spots.

[Dammit!]

I didn't know there were gopro forums. Link?

That clicking is coming from something else. I tested the shutter button click and it's not doing it (yet). Could be the chain hitting the skid plate or something.

The owner Rambo provides a lot of help.

If the clicking isnt from the camera, anything that barely rattles amplifies about 10x. Learned this with my friends roof on his buggy.

[Dammit!]

Ok I knew about that one. I thought for a second gopro finally had an official one (why they don't is a complete mystery to me).

Awesome vid m8!!! just subsribed on youtube. :)

[Twilight]

Yeah its the only one I know about too.

What card/setting are you using? All of mine have been on setting r3 and with a patriot class 6 16gb card.

Upgraded the firmware yet?

[Dammit!]

32GB Transcendence class 10 card. Not the best name brand but no problems yet. $65 at B&H photo a couple months ago.

Everything in that vid was shot in R3. I do have some 1080p stuff from that weekend too so I might put together a second vid. I didn't get the kind of variety of shots I normally do though. Kind of hard to keep them interesting when it's just basic footage.

The camera is brand new straight from gopro. Didn't need the firmware update. The other one I have sitting here might need it. Haven't booted that one up yet.

[Twilight]

Lucky lucky, Ive had mine about a year now. Gopro has been very generous with repairs and send-ins. Great company with great service. Sent me another waterproof casing and a few latches for free when i had one latch crack and told them about it.

[Dammit!]

Those latches are my only complaint. Horrible design. I know it's going to break sooner or later. The old model was actually a little better but it sucked too.

[Twilight]

If it ever breaks or crack, the company seems to replace them for free both in and out of warranty from what I have seen.

watchin vids like these while its rain/sleet/snow outside makes me want to ride.i just like to hear the motors running i dont need all the music.it made me remember what it was like to ride my 250r 20yrs ago

Thanks for posting. It was nice to see a dune video for once that actually had normal music in it. Great job on the editing.

Good vid.

Not sure whose quad that was actually. It wasn't broke down though. Had to be 250r, 450r or the ds650.

More news on how awesome Gopro is:

"Tony, we received the photos of your damaged camera and have reviewed the photos of your broken 3M mount and casing, We will be sending you a replacement camera free of charge. Feel free to keep your current Gopro for parts or you can send it back, choice is yours.Please keep sending feedback and suggestions"

Damn! Did not expect that!

[Dammit!]

Yeah they kinda rule. Hooked me up fatter than I expected when I got that first HD cam.
