I always thought that an innuendo was an Italian suppository...

I decided to go for a bit of a drive yesterday while the weather was semi reasonable......

The following videos may not be overexciting as there are no idiots trying to run me off the road etc, but

I thought you may (as I did) just enjoy the drive through some glorious countryside....

Enjoy......

Thanks Rusty nice and clear, wish our internet coped better with 1080P though

Doggie 1 · **Reply #34: July 10, 2012, 11:53:41**

If I put it on 1080 it just keeps stopping and buffering.

That's a shame as high quality vids are getting fairly common on youtube these days...

What I do is I actually download these videos and then watch them stutter free....

Dazzler · **Reply #36: July 10, 2012, 13:07:50**

That's a good idea Rusty

Some videos i've downloaded make me stutter

Mine might not suffer the "boom" but it does have a slightly annoying rattle, did you happen to notice it?

Sorry to bring this up again but I only just saw this topic. It doesn't happen to be the camera changing focus/settings is it? Just. Seemed to happen when the light changed. Does it rattle when it is off?

I really don't know, Taz....

I've noticed it also does it when cornering......

You can only hear the rattle when you play back what you've recorded, otherwise there's no sign of it.
I've shaken the unit and there's no sign of anything rattling inside....well, not that I can hear anyhow.

I've ordered a different windscreen mount now so it will be interesting to see if that changes anything......

rustynutz
that rattle is likely to come from inside, at least I have read some topics from Russian owners, who experienced the same problem.

rustynutz · **Reply #41: July 12, 2012, 04:18:38**

Did any find the source of the rattle, Misha?

Anyhow, I decided to "crack" open the case and to have a look see for myself....just the part that houses the lens and circuit board.
The circuit board isn't screwed in position so I am wondering if that could be a possible noise source.....
There's a little bit of padded tape on the back of the board which the case pushes against when it is all screwed together.
I decided to add a little more tape which I'm hoping will clamp the circuit board a little more firmly....

Time will tell whether it made a difference, I guess....

I think you've nailed it Rusty

rustynutz · **Reply #43: July 12, 2012, 08:38:23**

I hope so, Phil...cheers

With my previous camera I added some soft foam (from the back of a washing up pad) between case and battery, which kept the battery tight, and cured the rattling.

My Doddy doesn't have any such issues. Yet.

unfortunately I can not recall a precise source, but I'll try to find at least one message with a detailed note

meehalych · **Reply #47: July 12, 2012, 19:40:41**

some advises to change a microphone to something else of better quality

rustynutz · **Reply #48: July 13, 2012, 01:50:50**

Thanks for that..

I don't think I'm likely to bother trying to change microphones....that would go in the too hard basket for this little black duck...

Shambles · **Reply #49: July 13, 2012, 08:03:00**

I'm not interested in the sound, personally. In fact until very recently I had mine muted, but reenabled it just 'cos I can.

rustynutz · **Reply #50: July 14, 2012, 01:21:09**

To be honest it really doesn't excite me either. Would be different if it didn't pick up so much rumble etc.......

What I really need is to get proficient with some video editing software like Daz.....

I really should be going to the next level with my editing but for basic editing that how to video I posted will getmosted people started.

Thanks mate, my trouble is if it can't be learned in 5 minutes I lose interest.....

And what hope have I got when I need to be on here 24hrs a day just to keep up with all these posts you lot keep posting up?

Phil №❶ · **Reply #53: July 14, 2012, 02:39:08**

Sadly for you Rusty it's only going to get worse, more members, more posts

rustynutz · **Reply #54: July 14, 2012, 03:04:22**

Maybe I need to do a 5 minute speed reading course?

TazManiac · **Reply #55: July 14, 2012, 05:28:34**

Would probably take 10 mins.

is there any nuclear power station around?

Dazzler · **Reply #58: July 26, 2012, 23:36:58**

Thanks Rusty...

I really enjoyed that. I liked the tempo of the music as well as the obvious association... Gee you wouldn't forget those lyrics in a hurry

There were lyrics?

To be honest, I didn't take too much notice of them.....
