@traxxas35 Discussed in the full webBikeWorld review.

What happen to the audio? The right side of the sound is gone. Is the sound mono or stereo? And do they sell it in overseas besides US?

[wbwvids]

@chronousnemesis I probably messed it up in post-processing in Adobe Premiere Elements 8.0. Can't remember if it's mono or stereo, I think mono. Don't know if they sell it overseas. See the webBikeWorld review for more information and links to vendors.

@wbwvids thanks. So basically when you copy the vid into your computer, both sides can be heard, right? I see some comments on YT( watch?v=_t96_kc0Kvk ) that their Drift HD170 mic is defective, that is why I'm wondering...

[wbwvids]

@chronousnemesis I just checked the box, it doesn't say whether it's mono or stereo, but I'm 99.9% sure it's mono. The mic works fine; much better than the Hero HD I think. I didn't pay attention to the sound track when I was editing in Premiere Elements so I probably cut off one channel. You'd never know this playing the raw file.

Thanks for the tip, I fixed it. The raw .mov file video looks much better also before being squished by YouTube compression.  No wavy rolling shutter effect either!

The link in the description doesn't 404s.

Video quality looks to be pretty good.
