Cole Barash shoots some Kodak PlaySport Video at the Burton US Open.

[MoreMikey]

can you mount a tripod or is there a tripod mount accessory for this?

[KodakTube]

@MoreMikey yep sure can there are threads on the bottom of the cam for mounting 

[fishycomics]

Seems The DIS is off to jumpy

[RyanisReach]

im geting this for christmas!!

[Cakeries]

the biggest problem i have with this that i have noticed in all the videos is the image stability, it seems that the slightest movement skews and jerks the image a lot. im thinking about buying this but im having second thoughts.

[XAutomatedOwnerX]

@Cakeries Then you turn on the image stabilization.

[Cakeries]

@XAutomatedOwnerX then was it not turned on in this video?

[XAutomatedOwnerX]

@Cakeries It can drain battery and can look a little jellowy but it usally works well.

[paraglide01]

I personally think the colors on the playsport are not so vivid. I have a toshiba S10 and I am thinking on buying a waterproof HD camera but the toshiba has nicer colors.

[danoz430254]

my dad just got this for me for christmas

[KhaiMissiri]

gosh!! this remind me on 'Frozen' movie...

[luannberg]

this camera is the best

[mikryan123]

The biggest problem I have with this camera is it is not campatible with Photoshop or any other good movie editing software. You can only use it with the basic crappy software it comes with. You can apparently purchase Arcsoft for another 60 or 70 dollars but Arcsoft is crap too. Other than that, its the best HD camera for the price I think.

[KodakTube]

@mikryan123 Actually you can use whatever software you like. Are you using PC or Mac? If you're using a Mac just plug the camera in and it mounts as a drive. Then just open the drive and drag the .mov files to your desktop. For PC users, you can use Arcsoft to convert the files to whichever format you like (mp4, .flv etc.) and then use with any program.

Let me know if you need help.

Thx much for your feedback.

@KodakTube It sure doesn't work with photoshop premier. You get an error message saying the codec is incompatible. I own a KODAK DX7590, a cannonon rebel, a sony handicam, and the playsport. The playsport is the only camera that will NOT work on photoshop. It does recognize the still pictures in elements though

[fishycomics]

@KodakTube Beth I am sure the person may be shooting in Hd1080P, and when they Place to an editor one their codecs are not up to date or missing. You may use a excellent program calle magix movie edit pro 12- to date. or Pinnical 14U, these two Programs run flawless with a correct set up. A demostration can be done to prove wrong, while Arc works just fine and what kodak doe not know will haunt them. and what theat might be Just ask me I be happy to share the Info.

[XAutomatedOwnerX]

@mikryan123 Lol, photoshop isnt a video editing software. Do you mean After Effects? Because its compatible with after effects.

[mikryan123]

@XAutomatedOwnerX No, I mean photoshop premier...Which is a video editing software

[XAutomatedOwnerX]

@mikryan123 Its Adobe Premiere Photoshop has PHOTO in it which is for pictures.

[mikryan123]

@XAutomatedOwnerX Actually dumbass, Premiere Elements is a VIDEO editor.

[mandykq18]

would u consider this camera over the ultra hd flip camera?? i have no clue which to get.

[KodakTube]

@mandykq18 the playsport is waterproof up to 10 feet making it super durable.

[LIVEtoFLY09]

is this compadible with the cam caddie?

[thekranko]

hm, the quality looks very good, but why is every video i see with the kodak so shaky??

[KodakTube]

@thekranko depends on the shooter :0) also, the camera has image stabilization that helps if turned on.

thanks for your comment.

[unknownsoldierz]

@KodakTube Looks like who ever videoed this did not have Image stabilization on :P

[fishycomics]

@thekranko Hethat question to this video will say a few things. the User does not know what he is doing. and that will put a damper on him looking like he is not correctly doing his job for the day. and will blame it on the device.  And not his fault. I held it wrong or I did not have it on a setting. redo, redo, reo, wrong, its the EIS/DIS placed beyond th limits, as well youtube conversions. may not be a great for fast movement like this due to a nouber of things background/foreground

[discobubbles]

looks like 720 p at 30 fps eh?

[jamesf1430]

did u have it on 1080p or on 720p

[deepbluemarket]

I can't believe how clear each frame of the videos are! I extract stills from Video and use them as jpg or png images. I just set my Video player as large as possible, pause on the single frame I like, and hit "Print Sc" button, then open Photoshop, create new, and then paste the Still Image I copied with the screen shot.

[zzoot]

i read this thing had electronic image stabilization but although nice picture the video still looks just as jerky as my flip (which is horrible)

[thecompans]

@zzoot he's on a ski lift (which is shaky)

[cartman0804]

@thecompans he is not talkin bout that but it is wen he records the borders it shakes ABUNCH!!!

[xHOTDAMNxHBx]

No Macro mode? why? somebody hack the firmware.
