Gopro Hero2, file compression test, w/ diy flat lens and red filter.

a quick test of the Gopro 2 and a homemade flat lens mod. Testing to see different video compression settings. This little 2min clip started out as a 2.5gigabyte file. I compressed it to 38mb so that youtube wouldn't do it for me and give worse quality. I think its much better and uploaded 100x faster.

@alawaiman the Gopro2 is much more clear than the gopro1. Easier to operate with everything in english (instead of codes) and has an ext microphone input (which I wanted to do pre/post dive interviews w/ a shotgun mic)

@Ferdy96754 i set it frist at 720 instead of 1080 in sony vegas pro, then I used Handbrake and compressed it with the Apple TV setting. Since it was a test vid, I didnt wanna wait hours for it upload.
