Ok. Got the file converted to .wmv. Lost a lot of the quality but whatever. In the process of uploading to youtube now.

The movie is under 10 minutes and under 2GB so that shouldn't be the problem. I captured it to movie maker and I still lose the sound. Google .mod everio and you will find that a lot of people are frustrated with this POS camera for not having a common, user-friendly format. I'm sure a better file converter would do a better job but at least we are making progress. I didn't put any routine together and I am still getting to know this plane and I just finished four straight shots of esspresso on ice before the flight so you can tell in my throttle that I've got the jitters. Still, there is some pretty cool stuff in between all the rolling. This is the first time I have ever flown in front of a camera, too - kind of a different experience for some reason...

Are you guys union movie makers ????

Here's the vid. Rough I know, but totally unedited and better than nothing. Sorry for all the throttle blipping and rolling. I was on a coffee high...

BAD ASS Nick...

Not bad for only wiggling one stick. I think BH has a series of winners on his hands right now..I bet he wishes he had a container of them today.

G$

LOL! you caught that...

Great video. Looked just fine. Ive always found that the free software never comes out right. If you buy the software, the quality is real nice.

Found this video as well. I think he says Hempel 100cc???

Nope, just more DOD-in your face sub 40' flying..Then any camera or any camera man can cut it..

Okay........it was worth the wait. Thanks for going to all of the trouble to get the vid posted. I would have probably said it!! lol

The plane looks like it only requires about 5" of roll out! It just hops off the ground. It must be because of those super long legs! Like some kinda kung fu crane or something! Cool! Thanks again.

Here is a quick edit of an onboard cam, video was over 20 minutes so that had to go...
