I've been thinking about getting one, have to ask ...
How come that's so pixelated ?

Well done Shaggy!  ;-)up editing, camera angles etc will come in time.

Dan get one!!!! I'm guessing it might look pixelated due to the resolution setting when viewing via the photobucket upload. (Not sure, just guessing) if you upload to YouTube, it allows the full 1080 HD version. Assuming of course shaggy had it recording at 1080.

I've been playing with some of the gopro settings this week and will update you on what I've found out. Not showing the video yet though as I want to edit it more with other plans I have..

Just thinking of a camera that's a bit "hard" so I won't be afraid to keep it handy for the new arrival.
As well as sodding about with it.

Bit put off by not having a screen though ( although I see one can be added )

The screen is easy. I use my phone or my iPad mini as a tether unit. That way I control every thing on the camera. The only thing it doesn't do is zoom in I think.
As for pixeling it's as andy said photobucket reduced the quality further.

Exactly as shaggy said, use iPhone (or android) for preview. It has a 3 second delay but is fine for setting up shots. Remember you don't use this as a "normal" camcorder as such, it's a different type of camera.

Well actually did have a little play last night with it and posted a link for a rough edit of the trials.
