JPEE ~

For my helmet cam as you were inquiring, I use my face shield for weed-eating in the ol' yard... I take the screen part off, and use only the harness. On the harness there is a place on the adjustable knob in which is flat, and I place a piece of INDUSTRIAL strength velcro there, and then the other piece of velcro on the back flat area of my camera on the viewscreen area, which is only a small piece, as the Industrial strength stuff is so sticky and tough you literally have to pry the camera to remove it...

My camera is just a cheap Wal-Mart brand and is even only 4 mega-pixels but gets the job done... You can get the Industrial strength velcro at like Wal-Mart, or Home-Depot...

My camera, like yours, only saves the videos as .Mov files (QuickTime)... I use Nero 8 Ultra Edition HD for modifiying my videos, and was free using a file sharing program called Limewire... It might take a few tries to find a legite one... I just downloaded this program about a month ago from LimeWire, But have always used the older versions of Nero for a few years and love it ! It will then also convert the .Mov files to whatever you want as you select this option in the directory... I'll convert it then to Mpeg, and then save it, then go to Windows Movie Maker, and it will recognize it so you can use that program also if you wish....

The nice thing with having both, is they offer different things and so you then have a wide variety of options... Nero will also convert to HD, or Blu-Ray also...

So now in return, I expect a video (in time) of that T-28 mister ! And of course priority, don't forget the Blade 400.... Inspire me ! October 3rd, I'am either going for a Trex 500, or a Trex SE V2 and a B-400 together... Hard choices... But the B-400 I think I would like as I would be flying it like I stole it ! And if I did get the 500, I think I would be trying to be careful and thus slowing my progress in my learning curve.......


Take care JPEE,

Jeff,
Thanks for the pics and info on the MOV. file converson. This has been driving me nuts, nothing I had on file would make the conversion or let me edit. However I must add my camera is a 10 mega pixel, but! I have the abiltiy to run it from 2 to 10 and in HD but then the files get to big to post. It also has a YOU/TUBE mode for filming which is what I used to keep the file size right. But for some reason one of the vids can be seen in HD but the other not. I do know the HD was a smaller file, perhaps thats it.

Hey I read when you were leaving but remind me again and perhaps? we can drive 100 each and meet and I'll bring both 400's and you can test! But I cant get away on a weekend until after the weekend of October 11th. I have my own small business so I can getaway anytime during the week, let me know.
