Going through everything to take on our upcoming snowboarding holiday...


Think we may have it just about covered!!

Just a quick test video of the ContourRoam and a Window Clamp from 7dayshop



The Clamp is available from here

As a mounting setup it works well providing some good angle options. I need to remember that my window has an auto down button and the mount can pop off.

We're in the process of reviewing the new Mini DVR HD from DogCamSport. As a first test of this we've shot some footage whilst out biking last weekend. Nothing too interesting but good to see how it copes in what was some very challenging lighting conditions.

Shot at 720P 60FPS using the included vented helmet mount.



Lots more footage and full review coming soon!!

Not sure if this should be in motorsport or snowsport but either way it's pretty impressive. Seems like a scene out of the Italian Job rather than action sports!

Take one skidoo, one pair of Liquid Image camera goggles and a certain amount of insanity and this is what you get...

So, for any Mac users a must have free utility for video conversion!!

Check out MPEGStreamClip - a great little utility for converting pretty much anything to anything. The main function for this is to scale raw footage, rough cut the clips to make smaller files and most importantly an usefully it can convert between CODECS and filetypes.

When editing it is always best practice to make sure all your footage is in the same format, ideally one that is native to your editing software. For example, when using Final Cut Pro, the ideal format is PRORES422 which is a Quicktime Codec. When using a GoPro HD which records in an mp4 format this software gives you a nice quick and easy way to convert it before starting work on it therefore making your editing faster and smoother.
