I have the same camcorder and the crispness running 720 @60fps is parallel to some others out there costing 250 or 300 bucks or more. Mine was 60 dollars at a pawn shop so It was a goof deal. I do have a major problem with image stableisation and excessive vibration as I use this for my GSXR 1000 tank mounted. Maybe I need a different mount that would minimize the vibration. Great video by the way! Enjoyed the widescreen very much. =)
@SmellyGymShorts Maybe marginally... I don't use the EIS since it just causes more issues than it solves. Put it on a tripod or get/make a rigid mount and the quality is good enough. Id like to get a .5x or wider lens to try on this... Its not wide enough with the .67x!
@meanyman73 I didn't touch the video at all, this was straight off the camera. The mount is 1" square aluminum stock, cut just long enough so the two headrest poles go through it. I drilled holes for the poles on the head rests to go through the aluminum, at a slight angle so the square tube will be level. Its held in place solely by the two head rests on each side, and angle is not adjustable. Theres just a single bolt with the proper thread in the middle of it, to go in the bottom of the Zi8.
Relativism my friend! Pluralism my friend! Audi may bring one man freedom and another man dissapointment! So sick of this fundamentalist crap over youtube. Truth is relative. We have over 6 billion realities on this earth. Deal with it. Ps: Very nice video my friend.

My current beef with zi8 is the poor image stabilization. Is this improved with the wide angle lens?

EIS is OFF, as stated in the description.
I have recorded the same video with EIS on, and its hardly useable . The videovertically 'compresses' quite significantly nearly continuously.
The audio was swapped in this due to me playing a cd, and youtube pulling the audio as a result. So no stock mic tests here...

So is image stabilization on or off?
