I'm getting interested in taking some hd videos on XC missions ... is the GoPro Hero 3 considered the best camera for this type of project.



I've also been fooling with a new Video Editor called Power Director ... great app... much better then then older software I had before.



I re-reprocessed a file Evan Ludeman provided ... and I put a re-edited version on you tube. I don't think the base video is HD quality - and I used a stock audio track - but you can see how nice the transitions and other features work.

Hi KK,

I've been using a Contour HD camera for 3 years and have been very happy with the results. The usual comparisons are with GoPro and one of my main reasons for favoring the Contour is the size and shape. I use iMovie for editing and it's very easy. This month I purchased the new Contour +2. Better HD quality and the feature I've been waiting for: the ability to control the camera from my smart phone (iPhone 4) using Bluetooth. Really slick. I am looking forward to the season ahead to put both cameras to work.
Here are a couple of samples from my Vimeo site.
