Above is the FUJIFILM sports wide angle lens that came through the post yesterday from Jessops, retail £40...
This allows sports filming sports activities with a more stable film due to the wider Angle lens...
This mount allows the camera to be fitted to Go Pro equipment...
Like my Seat Post mount that is attached to a mono pod...
But with a regular mount and extender i can mount the camera on the chest mount...
So now i have a camera that can take as decent a picture as what the Go Pro does, ok it is a bit heavier and the wide lens is not as wide as the Go Pro, but you do see things in the distance when filming, and it has a micro phone that actually works!, not so good out in the wind but great when you want to pick up wildlife, water, and bikes riding past etc...
After a days rain- typical Edinburgh summer trades holiday weather!, the skies cleared in the late afternoon and i rode to Binning Woods to try out the new lens, everywhere was saturated but i was not worried as the muggy weather of yesterday had cleared with today's down pours...
Here is a film i shot, edited on Pinnicle Studio HD and then Windows Moviemaker...

Great video! I really like the perspective and how it highlights the effectiveness of your Pugsley on the trails.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear the sounds of the woods. How does the camera compare to the GoPro?
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve!,
ReplyDeleteThe camer is a bit heavier than the Go Pro Peter so a bit bouncy on the chest mount, but working on that!, but it does of course take proper pictures while the Go pro pic are pretty useless, also night filming should be possible as it can film in low light unlike the Go Pro,
I need to work on a foam cover for the mic as it does pic up wind noise, but its a great wee camera for blogging and filming outdooors!
I noticed the bounce on the chest strap.
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get your selfie stick?
Using a mono stick with a Go Pro seat post attachment mount Peter, works a treat!
