Rancho Skunko 4/21

Went to RS today to try my new ATC2K helmet cam. Wanted make a "fishing catching video", but the fish didn't want to be caught. I put my helmet on and turned the camera on anyway. Must have looked silly. Need to work on the video camera angle and movement. I'll try to piece together some clips to show the video quality. 

So what do you do if the fish aren't biting? You enjoy the scenery and take a few wildlife photos!

This looked bassy:


Posing for the photo op.


The swans kept an eye on me.



And I did catch one fatty floating on the lake:

         GoooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL....................Danglin

Ok...I was able to piece together a few frames from the video I took today. Not very good and the quality drops more when loaded into youtube. Have to work on the mounting angle. I'll get there...

Hope this works.

Too bad about the skunk Al, but don't sell yourself short on the vids. Not bad for the first time out.

But I would've like to seen the vid of you pullin in that yellow and black fatty.

Didn't have time to put the cam on. That fatty hit hard..and man, did it fight!
I meant to release it at the lake but forgot. I'll let it go in my neighborhood to fight another day.

I can't wait for the "BIG BASS on the line" cut.  nice aiming Al, is that taken with the optio?

I look forward to the Big Bass too!!!

The video was taken with the ATC2000 helmet cam. I need a little more practice.

Nice job Al. I know all about the angle thing.
We will get it dialed in soon enough.
Almost went to RC yesterday. Still not feeling well enough. Glad I didn't waste my energy.

what is THAT?!   does it hook-up to something else?.....or is that IT?   that looks cool!!
you'll have to excuse my lack knowledge with this HI-TECH stuff 
I just got my first DVD/VCR combo last year

Sorry about the skunk but the video cam is a cool idea. You should bring it to the HMB derby and get Joel going "Ike" and talking smack. That would be would be worth watching.

That's it Adam. All self contained, except for the strap to mount on the helmet.

Here's some info:

I bought mine from Mountain Gear.

This is an option.

Alfredo,

You can actually insert youtube inline in your posts.  Just copy the youtube id (the part after v= in the URL) and add the youtube tag.

Thank you!

I tried to do that but must have done it wrong. It kept locking up, so I just posted the link. I'm a low-tech old man.
