Oregon ATC3K camera

[sv4me]

Hi all

Selling this as i've now got a GoPro camera for on the bike. Anyone who doesnt know about these camera see here (http://uk.oregonscientific.com/cat-Outdoor-sub-Action-Cam-prod-ATC3K-plus-cold-weather-pouch.html) and here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VQFzgrFBro).

Good little camera for the money, dead easy to use even with gloves on. The base of its holder has a screw hole in and I used this with a RAM mount on the handlebars, worked fine. not in the picture but have the bag for it, 3 straps that I think are for attaching to a pushbike helmet and the cable for watching your vids through the telly

Cheapest I found new was £75 from Amazon so how does £50 posted sound?

Great choice of new cam mate :) you get the 960 or 1080?

[sv4me]

Got the 1080HD had it a couple of months actually, love it mate :)

Got some great footage of us snowboarding this january and just waiting for some good weather and then will shoot some on the bike. Struggling to find decent editing software though + my laptop doesnt like the file sizes it makes! Still quivering in the corner from last time I tried editing a few clips together

Lol Yep, i made a quick guide the other day of very basic editing to cut a video up to keep just its best bits.

I'm installing adobe premiere pro cs5 as we speak to see if that edits them fully. CS3 didn't.

Now now you two, I want a good clean fight...keep your eyes on the prize :mrgreen:

Video qualitys probably better helmet mounted 2bh hel, but I never trusted the sticky pads to the side of the helmet. This is what you can get helmet mounted though :D

When its on the bars its not that vibey, it just tends to pick up a judder especially when changing gear. You have the mounting issue no matter what camera you get really though.

Soooooo how we doing this then, arm wrestle? pistols at dawn?

Ah cool, thanks mate :cool: ill give that a try sometime. Sony Vegas seemed to lose the quality and had me a bit bewildered at it 2bh. Let me know how you get on with Adobe 5 :)

At the moment im doing no encoding at all, just uploading small segments of the raw footage, youtube does a great job with them too! I wont be encoding with adobe either except for the necessary bits. :)

[sv4me]

I was amazed at the difference between the raw footage you see and what people get to see on youtube. My mate was trying to explain it to me in terms of video data rate and recompressing by youtube causing compound problems. By which point i'd kinda glazed over =P~

If you wouldnt mind once you've got it perfected, a dummies guide to editing would be a BIG help :D

Uploading the raw footage looks great i thought, have you tried? The method above leaves the footage untouched but trims it, try trimming a 30 second clip and uploading. Fullscreen in youtube will never look good, but in the default box and 720p option its crystal.

Yeah once i've got a good method with fancy editing transitions etc ill be doing another video.

[davepreston]

ok 45 but you buy the first pint

I'm following your user guide vid as we speak :) i'll post up the results

As long as you buy the next 2, deal :mrgreen:

[davepreston]

deal it is then

[maviczap]

deal it is then

It'll come in handy to analyse where you fecked up the next time you stack it on a track day ;)

[sv4me]

:thumright: I think in future, i'll leave eBay and just sell all my stuff to you dave lol

Muahaha I know for a fact its waterproof/shockproof, but is it DP proof.....:-k

Beabert thanks mate I tried your method with the free software and got this, much better quality than my previous attempts I think. One thing though, spot the problem at 1:30 (and I don't mean the guys shocking driving :)) did I lose it because I tried putting too many clips together?

Little tip if you add ' &hd=1 ' to the end of your youtuve vids, ppl will see the high def version by default.

zhkrECBBjSo&hd=1

Lol, if you playback the video on the pc i think you will find thats youtube wrecking the sound. One in every 10 vids it does something odd to my sound too, when it does i alter the first step instead of source audio i tell it to use mp3.

Playing with adobe tonight, ill let you now how i go, using cs5 its 64bit only, had to change operating system, what a pain in the ass lol. How come you don't mount it on your helmet?

[sv4me]

:cool: thanks for the tip

I've got all the ram mounts for my old camera and mounting my sat nav so tend to just use them. I know its strong 3M sticky stuff but I'm a bit paranoid about my pride & joy going flying off down the road! i'll be using it mounted on my helmet tomorrow at oulton though :)

Spotlessly clean a spot, hairdryer out to get the glue hot and slap it on, trust me its going nowhere, but you could always leash it with thin nylon around the visor hinge or something.

The 3m molding tape is used to stick car emblems on etc, very strong. Comes off fairly easy leaving no mess once heated for 5 minutes.


Adobe cs5 is working out perfectly btw!
