Powderoo 0 Posted December 14, 2006 Author Share Posted December 14, 2006 that guys a nut bag, but if you listen to what he says, its no different than stuntmen who fall exactly the same way, distributing the pressure. nice vid, thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
torihada 2 Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 I often watch vids of extreme boarding & skiing and I think wow that looks like fun. Id like to give it a go (in my wildest dreams). But watching the Duvest Dayz helmet cam footage I was thinking - noooo way would I get into that sort of situation. It would scare the bejesus outa me (and Id die). The guy back flipping off cornices etc is a nutter. Seems a bit pointless, half the fun is riding away from a jump. I like this video from Youtube.Its not an extreme ski board vid. Its footage from Akita, its mellow with a cool soundtrack and is well edited, it shows that anyone on the piste can make something watchable and it makes me pine for the snow of Tohoku Link to post Share on other sites
Powderoo 0 Posted December 15, 2006 Author Share Posted December 15, 2006 Nice and cruisy Torihada, definitely shows how you can cruise and enjoy yourself. How bout this one, ski tree jumping??? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10F4zbafaHo Link to post Share on other sites
Powderoo 0 Posted December 15, 2006 Author Share Posted December 15, 2006 this one is great, nearly every time he's landing in powder, plus he's a great skier. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LE8kEjrUR0&NR Link to post Share on other sites
Powderoo 0 Posted December 15, 2006 Author Share Posted December 15, 2006 or how bout some snow kayaking? this is f***in crazy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gF4F0_zV1RY Link to post Share on other sites
torihada 2 Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Norwegian tree jumping. That's my level of bc tree dodging. Rory Bushfield makes it look easy. But I like the kayaking in powder. Gives new meaning to an eskimo roll. I fancy that, at least it get me up above the deep. Wonder how a kayak would fare in a slide? Would you be able to 'float' to the top?

indubitably 0 Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 The Rory shots at sunset are incredible. The first one is about half way through the video. Awesome camera work! Link to post Share on other sites

torihada 2 Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 hey woollyman; I viewed and I rated you. Music let you down No seriously, nice to see a SJ'ers helmet cam footage. What's your setup? DVR or Camcorder? Link to post Share on other sites

Woollyman 0 Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Cheers Torihada! MiniDV is my setup, works well BUT does anyone have a good idea on how to get sound??!! Using the mini camera plugged into the input of the Video Camera turns off the std mic and no plug-in mics work....the only way I have got sound is from a mic into my laptop, then headphones out of the laptop into the video camera input! Thought it needed a bit of amplification, so tried the same using a MD player - didn't work, bought the Sony plug-in condensor mic - doesn't work, obviusly needs a mic with external power...any ideas? Here is a poor pic of the cam, Excuse all the duct tape, it was my first time using it and I really didn't want the camera to come off. There is a mount under there... Will put some vids up of Japan when I get time. Here is a nice vid I just came across, Cheers all! Link to post Share on other sites
torihada 2 Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Cheers woollyman, I liked the clip. Now as we're playing this game; This is what I've just finished.I am particularly proud of my modification to a small pelican case for the mini dv. Hopefully the velcro for the bullet cam will hold up (it's stuck to the helmet with heavy duty carpet tape). I got the bullet (420 lines) from the states for a pretty good price. I got a high gain mic bundled with the cam, and it seems pretty good.You can see the additional cable for the mic disappearing into the cam sleeve. The av cable from the mini dv has yellow (video), red & white jacks (audio), the mic output plugs into the white jack from the av. That's how I pick up my sound. It all adds to the spaghetti Link to post Share on other sites
torihada 2 Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 NB. Yes woollyman,I think you're going to have to power the mic; my mic is powered by the 9 v battery pack used for the helemt cam. Link to post Share on other sites
Woollyman 0 Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Looking well protected Torihada. I have found what I need, Only problem is that it's in England, Helmet Cam accessories , hang on, aren't you in London Torihada?! Does anyone know where I could pick up something like this in Japan? YES, Akihabra will be on my list when I get a chance to go next week, but I'd rather order it on-line.... Link to post Share on other sites

torihada 2 Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Woollyman: I got mine from easycarbon, here's a link to the mic page; helmet cam mic Shipping was reasonable and very quick (about 5 days states - UK) Link to post Share on other sites
torihada 2 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 www.sports-camera.com are in N.Ireland otherwise I couldve sorted something out for you. States might be better as exchange rate for yen - pound is not good for you. Great for me (that graemlin is for db) Link to post Share on other sites
SirJibAlot 0 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 another alternative is to record sound on a seperate device and sync them up during editing. If you are able to get a mic to go with your camera - you'll want to stash is somewhere that won't catch too much wind noise or the audio will be worthless. -SJA Link to post Share on other sites
