GoPro

Got a GoPro today. Here’s a few minutes of test footage.

Played the raw HD footage strait from the camera on my big HD television and it looked fantastic.

    What settings are you using on the camera? Your footage is looking mighty smooth… mine seems to be a bit choppy when filming others. Also, are you holding it by hand or do you have a rig for it to mount to when it’s not mounted to your board.

    Thanks,
    Ryan

      Ryan, I in these clips I was just holding it in my hand. It was recording on setting 4 – 720 HD. I dump the resulting mpeg4 files into iMovie HD for editing, and saved them “for broadband” .MOV . Sadly, youtube did not recognize these as HD files, so there is no HD option there. I have a really old version of iMovie HD — need to upgrade to better software. Today I uploaded GoPro Test 2 – in which I saved converted the mpeg 4 files to .MOV HD files, using Wondershare Converter Pro. The resulting .MOV files are still very very big, like almost 200 megs for just about 1.5 minutes of footage. Took a long time to upload to youtube via my WiFi at home. But the results are good quality. The filming is bit rougher as I had the camera mounted to the nose of my board.
