Yes! I totally threw caution to the wind for once in my ride. It was kind of like smoking behind the school toilet block and NOT being caught!
I apologize. But save this vid - coz it's the only time you'll see it!
Now - back to the point of it....
I filmed this at 720p and will continue to use this resolution because of the following:
- it extends the battery life (per use) of the cam;
- it creates a file of exponentially less magnitude compared to the 1080p setting;
- it provides the ability to film almost 100% longer in terms of memory storage capacity of the 32Gb Micro SD card;
- the smaller file is easier to handle, upload, save, edit and view;
- the difference between 1080 and 720p isn't substantial enough to warrant enduring the first four points, visually; and
- unless you have NBN or Cable Broadband with the fastest of fast speeds, you will almost certainly reduce the quality of the vid to 720p, 480p or lower to facilitate a better viewing experience.
Sooooooooooo.................
720p Vs 1080p: (Both are considered HD)
15 min/Gb Vs 8 min/Gb
I have great vids of the RTE which I am working through to post a nice overview.
The RTE was shot entirely in 1080p HD (because I was testing and reached all the above conclusions afterwards).
I will post a couple of 'teasers' in the meantime.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank one of the OzSTOC greats - WHIZZ!
Thanks for organising this ride mate, because as good as we felt riding our bikes in a group of friendlies - the locals of Grantham appreciated our presence and input, I and could tell that we once again, brightened their day just that little bit more. Cheers Paul.
Thanks Skip - $220 from Hardly Normals. It is a QUALITY item. I should have given you a better look at it in Grantham. Stay tuned for a couple more 'unedited' trailers...
Cheers, Diesel
