Hi, there.
It's my first HD video with FZ6 Camera Mount.
There are some faulty on the mounting, so some noticible vibration on the video.
However, I satisfied some overall quality of the video and camera mounting (includes camera itself).
I made some more videos with this mounting for testing.
Many different road types and different speeds..
Let me edit them and put some link later on..
(not that easy for me with MP4 format....little new file format and.......>>>> my computer is little old aged.... ha ha ha)
Anyway here is the YouTube link...

Great video quality!! The sound is a bit weird though. I can hardly hear anything else (even your engine) but the wind...

Great video quality. I was watching it full screen HD from Youtube and it so much better than most video I see. Great job!

Hi, everyone.
Thanks for the comments.
As you noticed that there are some vibration that I have to fix it...^^:
I made(modified little bit) simple mounter on the my old camera mounter.
Current setup is just for the testing, so it might be changed later on.
BTW, YouTube video is not optimal quality as video was down-graded(encoded) by myself (to WMV format; Windows Movie Format) AND YouTube also reduces the quality little bit.
The original video looks really great; feels like seeing DVD movie on my Projector.
Anyway, here is the link of temporary cam. mounting photo.

Hi, there.
Isn't it look better than regular SD (Standard Vidoe Format), even if there are some vibrations.
I need to fix those camera vibration, but seems little harder than previous mounting (not sure yet).
But I'll try next time.

Here is another video clip from the last testing,...
.... to convert into WMV format takes very long time with my computer..........

{EDITED}
um...
I found this clip looks better than canyon clip, so I added up here...

Very slow canyon riding... ha ha ha, to test...
(actually my canyon riding speed.. ha ha ha, I don't blame my touring tires...)

As one of the YouTube member commented (complains, it's really rare on my videos)
that my last uploaded version dose not look like HD version.
He said "Look Blurry".
So, I looked again, yes the qulity wasn't that good.
The reason is that the clip has bad quality was compressed twice.
First, conversion into WMV from MP4.
And again after some editing from Windows Movie Maker.

I experimented with that video, NO EDITING (but just one conversion) and uploaded to YouTube.
Looks little (?) better now.
Here is non-edited version for ... (just uloaded, to be processed it might take sometime??)

Dude! Great work. May I make a suggestion. Get yourself some video editing software that has a "de-shaker" filter. It works GREAT you won't regret it! I use Video Studio 12. It can be purchased on sale for < $50. It will edit the videos's in their native 720p without a problem, and it has a de-shaker filter that can't be beat. You'll be singing it's praises as I do!

Don't worry about the camera mount... get yourself a real video editor.

Hi, there.
Thanks for the tip.
Downloaded trial version and experimented...
It works well with my old-spec. computer without any problems...
Only I had problem is that I can't save/export the video into WMV HD format???

Here is the test clip with VS12.
Los Angeles Traffic, and Lane Splitting...
Ha ha ha, slow (I do mostly when splitting lane, as there are always dangers...) but best way to go home fast...

Hi, there.

One of the YouTuber want to have my original MP4 file to see the quality...
so that he could make mind to buy one..??
As my original MP4 file size is huge, I had to split them for small files.
And finally cut out 20 seconds duration from one of the my original clip.

Ha ha ha, but where do I put it on to give him...(don't know his email ...)
So, I have to upload it to the office workspace (free document sharing site) for sharing..

I hope it works with this URL.
Anyone, interested in original quality, would you try if link works???
I'll try it myself.
