Quadbiking at Stockton ATC9K.mov

The weather was perfect, so at the last minute we rang quadbikeking.com.au and Amanda on the phone there sorted us with a guided quadbike tour of the sands of Stockton in no time. I had the 9K HD all ready to go on my helmet, so it was an ideal opportunity to get some fresh footage.

Note how steady the filming is, we've sorted the mount out so there is no vibrational movement, just the small movements of the helmet on my head itself over bumpy ground.

Most of this footage is shot on the 720 setting, which has the option of either 30fps or 60fps. The final scene on in the clip is on the full 1080 HD setting.

We would like firstly to thank the Worimi people who are the original owners of the land. Various midden piles can still be seen around stockton beach and they are marked for preservation. To compliment this, we've chosen a backing track from an amazing Australian aboriginal singer Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu. Through his blindness, Geoffrey has developed amazing guitar playing skills and his voice is virtually beyond description. the track is "Marwurrumburr" from his first solo album "Gurrumul" available through itunes and skinnyfishmusic.com.au Geoffrey's bio at gurrumul.com is quite amazing and well worth the read if you have the time.

Additionally we'd like to very much thank the crew at quadbikeking.com.au with my 10 year old fellow on board as well, you want sensible, caring hands, (not gun-ho yahoos) and that is exactly what we got. To get to the quadbike area is a solid haul through the dunes in a 4WD and Craig took us there with competence and an interesting commentary. Wendy (who we were lucky to get, as she is off to PNG in a couple of weeks to do some work with Rotary for the less privileged kids to help with schooling etc. in the remote regions) returned us equally well with some deft lines around the various obstacles encountered along the way. Dean sorted us on the quads brilliantly and was very patient with my young fella, without being 'namby-pamby' either. We had a spectacular ride through the dunes to the shipwreck and back with what you always want to hear "Dad, that was the best thing I've done in my life". Great crew, good times, thoroughly recommend. Feel free to ask any questions here, or head to our site sportscamera.com.au and contact us there. Have a great day and remember how many amazing things there are to do in life!

"Most of this footage is shot on the 720 setting, which has the option of either 30fps or 60fps. The final scene on in the clip is on the full 1080 HD setting."

Great Vid! Picture quality is a vast improvement over previous models! Have had some fun fun at Stockton in the past. (4wd, prob 15 years ago)

Could you elaborate a little on how you fixed the mount to steady filming?

Cheers
