awesome video! :)

[GengoNoTabi]

Ha! I do the same thing when I hike and film. Something about the adrenalin or something makes my speech kind of scatter brained.

[HahaGod]

UNREAL man, unreal... Can't wait to visit Japan myself!

this doesnt even show the quality of this camera, whatever you converted to isnt working

[kellypettit]

@Ruffneck101 Your right. I didn't upload it to youtube in HD. missed the boat on that one. Some of my other videos do a better job.

Eek! I just saw one of your tags was Gunma. Was part of your ride along Rt 255? Tunnels can be so generic but I felt it was familiar. I used to live in Maebashi. My second last day of riding last summer went from Minakami to Fukiware to Maebashi. Natukasikatta!

[kellypettit]

@katakanadian You're right. There are a lot of similar roads here but I bet we've both ridden on some similar roads. I know all those places you mentioned very well and have ridden roads to and from many times. Hope all is well with you. Keep cycling!

great video. Did you actually hold the camera with your hand?!?!

[kellypettit]

@josfxj122008 Yes, I did. It's called, "Very low budget" :)  Or as the Japanese say.... SHOGANAI.

Awesome video...well-shot and narrated, and I like the amusing text commentary.

I'm hoping to bicycle Japan next year. Looks like fun!

[kellypettit]

@TheProgNerd Thanks for the comment!

[katakanadian]

@TheProgNerd I did 2 months of touring in northern Japan last summer. Let me know if you have any questions.

[OxXJockerXxO]

awesome :))))

[kellypettit]

[mkrisnapratama]

a very great video ....adventuring with bike and camcorder primariliy :D...

btw, do you feel satisfied with XR520? 'cos i have a plan to buy it and consider the features... and how size (gigabyte or megabyte) of this video? thanks.. : )

[kellypettit]

@mkrisnapratama Thank you! I love the camera. My favorite feature is the gyro stabilizer that allows it to be really smooth. Biggest let down would be lack of manual controls. Also you need a fast PC. When you edit AVCHD raw files and your PC is only a dual core it might be sluggish. I had to convert these files to MP4 so I could edit and therfore lose resolution which to me defeats the purpose. But fast PC and this hand held is amazing! Crap manual controls is my only complaint.
