Canon Vixia camcorder hit by a train and keeps Working

[myvideosbydt]

Chuckle...That was awsome..I like the way it was able to focus on the tiny flower and the ballest. Try it again only a little more 'off center'..

@myvideosbydt - I think the 3" LCD display was just 1" to wide

[joelofpaloalto]

you gotta sell this to Canon for an ad, Skip!! good one! where was this?

[SkipW]

@joelofpaloalto - Kauai Plantatin Railway, the only regularly scheduled train ride on Kauai. Hawaii.

Wow, Skip! Hope the train came out as well as the camcorder did - and that the train didn't derail later on down the line - lol!

[gjhgjh]

WOW ! Keeps on ticking. Tape it on the rail next time. Compare camera to UR squashed penny.

Reminds me of the old 50's Timex watch commercials !!! Cool vid !!!

[RideswithChuck]

It sure looked like it was pushing up daisies or what ever that flower was. "Takes a licking and keeps on ticking."

[RailfanningRulez]

[danisim9]

[BUKUINC]

Which model Vixia is this??? I may have just found my new camera!

[SkipW]

@BUKUINC It is a HFM300

[Westbound70]

@BUKUINC How low can you go !

[sonnylatchstring]

While watching I felt the need to bend over

[ervans]

Great video Skip, That is like my main camera a Canon Vixia HG20

[maddennis55]

Did you even think that the camera might be a little high?

[SkipW]

@maddennis55 about 10 seconds to impact which is a little late

[russianfubar]

got a nice sot of the little flower there! lol

[thestuffz]

amazing how much the land moves!

[trainkids]

I just love how when it focuses, it focuses on a flower! LOL!!! That must be a well built camera!

[wheels069]

Hey look a Four Leaf Clover lol

[Studi037]

The part that clobbered the camera says "Kicker" in tiny letters (1080p) ...what on earth could that mean?

[SkipW]

@Studi037 I think it was the fog lamp, low and bright but no fog this day

[alexander1485]

is it an SLR or a point and shoot?

[alexander1485]

@alexander1485 nevermind, its neither lol

[ReviewerKid90]

*Train hits Camera*

Camera : Son of a bitch!

[rampagedm]

awwww, look at the pretty little plant LOL great camera too

[SkipW]

@rampagedm & the Macro Focus still worked fine too!

[modeltrainman12345]

yeah at the beginning its like "this may hurt a little". Did you have it on one of the ties instead of the ballast?

[SkipW]

@modeltrainman12345 On the ties,brushed clear of ballast at a crossing, its quick&safe

[modeltrainman12345]

@SkipW ah ok I thought it was a little higher up than normal
