    Here's my latest videoi. It's basically parts of my 25 mile drive from the water site to the bottler. As much as I wanted to include the loading and unloading procedures, I wasn't sure if the facilities involved would appreciate that so I erred on the side of caution for now.

    Nice video Voyager. Couple of questions;
    You using a dashcam? It appears that you're not. If not what make camcorder? How are you mounting it? What video editing software are you using?

    I have a bunch of video clips from my el-cheapo dashcam, and a Canon FS-300 camcorder. I've not done much with them yet, because of getting only one view, straight out the front windshield. The only mount I have is the windshield suction mount. My software is Corel's packages, VideoStudio Pro, MediaStudio Pro 8, and then Magix Movie Edit Pro. I primarily use Corel, since they were free. I was a beta-tester and website administrator for several years.

    Eaton, I'm using a Midland XTC, which is a wide angle action cam similar to, but less expensive than, a GoPro. For the moment, I'm using the adhesive helmet mount in strategic locations in the truck. For the Mack, the driver's side roof pillar works well and for the shots of me, I had it on the upper console on the passenger side of the CB mounting area. For editing, I'm just using the Windows Movie Maker program that came with the computer. For now, it's serving my needs, but as I gain more experience, I may look for a better program.

    Nice ride thru the backyard--LOL--funny how the cam makes the ride off Blue Mtn south seem almost flat--almost asked ya which bottler before I saw video--but now it's obvious--Stay safe--
    and maybe do one in the next few weeks when it's snowin sideways down thru there just for fun-

    I liked the clarity of the Video. I've been looking for some sort of dash cam. Checked out there site and ordered one. I'll be using mine on my bicycle rides though the woods too.

    It's a great little camera for the price. I love the GoPro's for the quality they produce, but I figured on going the less expensive route for now until I know exactly how much I'll get to use it. So far I really like mine, and with the price, I can buy one or two more for multiple camera angles instead of having to move the one I have like I did in my video.
