yesterday mt snow got like 4 inches of snow (epic pow!!!11!) so i decided to put the extreme back into mount snow and try out my contour hd. i've seen very few ski videos with this thing, and i have a feeling it'd be terrible in super sunny conditions, but i was pretty happy with it. just wanted to post something for people considering getting it

my main gripe was with the goggle strap mount and the weight of the camera, i found the camera was bouncing around all over my head the whole time so it leads to super shaky footage, as seen in the parts where i go a bit faster in super chopped up shit

so the first is just raw footage from 1 run just to get a sense of wind noise and everything, and the second is an edit i did from the day just for fun. first one is a bit boring fwiw

this was also my first time ever doing anything with video, so tips/critique are much appreciated

i didn't do anything to the footage except clip it, so no processing has been done. the real quality is a bit better than this because ns doesn't love hd and i had to edit it in imovie (fail, dont ever use it)

Im digging the pov for now, may get sick of it, but i can see it getting more creative than anything.anyway, it was good quality, is the contour cheaper than the go pro? saw jacobs edit with the contour 1080p and it was sick.but props to you dude
 
critique on the edit would be helpful too, i've never made an edit before so i have no idea what i did right/wrong
 
only thing tht really bugs me is when your going faster the sound of the wind is a little to noticeable over the music, lowering the volume on shots like that is always a good thing
