nice footage. turn the youtube settings to 720p and fill screen it. looks amazing

@dudeproductions100 Thanks...I'm experimenting with a different x264Encoder codec as we speak that is drastically reducing the file sizes and producing an equivalent image quality...check some of my other codec videos and let me know what you think about the x264Encoder vid at 1054 bit rate to see if you think the quality is comparable to this one.

do you like this camera and would you recomend it

[Rickyyy001]

yea man it looks super good! being solid state is a plus, that thing must be tough if the dirt hasn't messed it up yet!!!

[hmc40videos]

@Rickyyy001 If I were you, I'd buy a Merlin Steadicam for what you're planning to shoot, a rain cover if you feel it's needed, and rock on. This camera will produce amazing results...the merlin is the next hing on my list of things to get to eliminate having to have a tripod when shooting more professional stuff. I'll come in from a shoot and it will literally be covered in dust. The zoom ring isn't as smooth as it was, and the door to the SD card will stick, but blow it out with some air...good

[Rickyyy001]

@hmc40videos merlin's are sick the thing is, i'll be skating behind the person who's doing a line so there's no way i could support one of those! haha but yea man i guess i'll have to find a dealer around and really check out the HMC40. thanks you've been a lot of help!

[hmc40videos]

@Rickyyy001 I hear ya, but I bet it could be done and you'd get a lot better footage that way, but I could be wrong. No problem...

[UTVRally]

Could be...

by the way how do you upload 720 please

[StuartHaight]

Shoot 720 footage, edit 720 footage, export 720 footage with H.264 compression, go to 'custom render or export settings'. Set bit rate about 4000kbps. Thats all you need.

Footage looks crisp and colorful, but stuttery. Wish it was posted to a real video site.

[hmc40videos]

It's not the footage at all...it's your computer not being able to keep up. It plays/streams perfectly on my computer.

[StuartHaight]

I think he means stuttery as in no motion blur due to higher shutter speed. Your video is fine, just for future reference as long as you can hold a steady shot while panning etc it'll be fine.

Those vehicles look sick!!!

[bilbomarks]

@mikecazzx Yeap. If you're watching in HD you're gonna need at least a cheap discreet video card.

[MikeDaBeava]

nice video! very well done. i just have one question: which rode videomic are you using, the rode videomic or the stereo videomic? because ive been wondering what the dead cat looks like on the videomic.

[shugpro]

how are you liking that matthews tripod? i'm planning on getting the same one when i get my hmc40 in a few weeks. thanks for the detailed description.

[hmc40videos]

The matthews works very well. I plan on using it a lot, and given the terrain and usage I put it through, it's been very durable so far.

footage looks great, I shoot a lot of vintage cars for auction. I just picked up this cam, been a sony guy for a while. What in camera settings did you shoot this video in? I see just chroma +1, any other changes?

Hope to hear from ya,

Chris

[hmc40videos]

Just the chroma +1, everything else in full auto.

[claudiagirardin]

This looks very good:)

i plan to buy this cam do you recomended it?

[hmc40videos]

I'd highly recomment it so far...it's working great for me.
