easy home made camera mount for Zx1, Zi6, binoculars, scopes, laser levels, etc.

I hope you find this tip useful. Please leave a comment and rating. Thanks for watching! This outfit works really well to clip on the handrail of a shopping cart at stores, supermarkets, etc. and then you have a tracking dolly to make some smooth rolling videos. i’ve clipped this on my bicycle and used the bike as a tracking dolly also. Actually anything that rolls smoothly is good to use (wheelchairs work very well too).

    Thanks for the video! Many of the ideasa on YouTube remind me of the 12 monkeys theory of how ideas spread all over the world. What I find lacking for the Zx1 though, is a tutorial for how to connect it to a PC and how to basically edit the material.

    thanks so much .I,m getting a zx1 for christmas and this will be great. I got this instead of the zi6 because we camp and gold prospect. Thought the weather proof would work better for us.

    Mic stand idea looks good (a hands free mono-pod)!
    I bought a Zi6 this week . What editor are you using?
    My first film was at 60fps by mistake which I think causes the arca editor to freeze.
    I bought a aug. magnetic fisheye (nice toy for big boys (and girls).

    I have used windows movie maker you can cut and chop up movies and create a new movie out of the pieces ,,,I also compressed the HD down to about 10 percent size ,,,might have been better to just use the AVG mode,,,

    I’ve never really timed it. According to the Kodak website a Zx1 with 32MB SD card will record about 10 hrs. in VGA but I’m guessing the batteries would have to be changed every hour or so. A Zi6 with 8MB card, my guess is about 2 hrs. ( with a battery change). I’m just estimatiing. It would be interesting to know for sure. I have never run mine that long as my youtube videos are all under 10 min.

  22. openairpreacher says:

    do you have any Idea how long the Kodac would keep recording,,, its prob a longer time VGA than HD because its less MB’s
    a couple hours,,?
