Very nice. Every time I would ask myself about one of your design features, I could see the problem it solved or feature it added. This should make for some excellent video Popeye. You think you could slow down and catch some video of someone beside you?!

Hey Carl, that looks really good,,,,, now the question>>> how is the vibrations? Have you shot any video yet,,, I know you must have,, where is it?

Had my first test yesturday with the axle cam attachment..editing is pants, but the video results seem much better

Axle Attachment First Trial

That is the smoothest kite buggy video I've ever seen. Having it on the axle takes out all the vibration that occurs when the buggy reacts to a bump. The axle is right there doing only what the tire does. Does the water splashing bother the cam? Are you flipping front view to rear view on the fly?

Wow I works great.

Thanks for posting and sharing.

There still a bit of messing about with it yet like getting the horizon horizontal both forwards and rear.

Re the different views Bob, I go on a run with it facing forwards, then turn the cam around and do the same or a similar run with it facing to the rear, split the film up in windows movie maker in about half an hour and there you have it.

..I recently got adobe Ellements 3, for video editing.....I have tried a few things with it, but it looks quite complicated, I will have to spend more time mulling over it.

The Windows movie maker is cheap and simple, I like it because its quick and easy to use
