Buddies in the Mountains

My first day testing out a new GoPro HD HERO. Skiing and snowboarding at Mammoth Mountain, and visiting the Tufa at Mono Lake. Music by Florence and the Machine.

cool video man. i like how you included the different settings. I mostly just use r4 on mine because i like the large field of view. I don't like how it gets letterboxed on the sides tho. r5 seemed pretty nice. it's basically a crisper r3 but r3 has the 60fps right? also... what's going on with the snowboarder at 2:01 and 2:13. at 2:01, where is his front boot strap/toe strap? I'm pretty sure your toes aren't supposed to lift up like that lol. at 2:13 his toes are pointed inwards? not right lol

Yeah I thought I'd include the settings for all the folks out there trying to figure out their GoPros. It was good to try out the different settings. r3 seemed to have greater color saturation... which r5 seemed to really lack. Especially in the bright snow r5 got really blown out. I wasn't able to get the 60fps slow motion to work properly (1:06 and 1:15) but I think that r3 might be the best overall setting in terms of image quality.

I used the flat adhesive mount on the ski and snowboard. I attached it the night before, and let it sit for 12 hours. It lasted about 5 minutes on the board, and 2 on the ski.

Is it hard to do slow motion, time lapse, and switch camera views? I'm gonna get a gopro and i'm just wondering if it's hard to edit the videos you make?

Thanks!
