Bro, you're getting good at this editing vids stuff. Nice work...

Some friendly critizism........Those vids would be 10 times better with a steady camera. I'm no pro myself, just saying.

No I completely agree bro it's the size of the camera it's real small. I figured out though that if I leave it on the tripod even while walking around with it the shots are much more steady. At least were getting the bugs worked out before the main event. the lens is not very wide angle either

[IamJEEP]

Thats why I want to get the GoPro.....then you can mount it on the Commander and on a tree or something. They are made for action shots and the vids come out steady and clear.

With a little more practice, you could probably do the same with yours. Don't get me wrong, your vids are better than most. Just thinking out loud to try and help you out, since you're putting a lot of effort to improve your OG videos.

I like the Go pro my buddy has one. It has it's uses but hand held for exterior shots isn't one of them it would be more shaky then mine is. I have a tripod for mine I'll just have to keep the camera on it. The go pro would be an add on for me because of all it's mounting position. If my friend don't come I'll borrow it from him

[IamJEEP]

I've never seen it used as a hand held. Is your cam the kind you can change lenses? So, you think a wide angle lense would be better? A Fish Eye lense would probably look pretty cool also.

[Sal-XK]

Ya, go pro not good as a hand held so you need another one for those out side shots. Can't make good Videos with nothing more the POV shots I've tried they get boring. I can't remember if mine takes lenses or not I've had it a while now. Not sure about the fish eye lens it could have its use a one or may two shots with it but not much else. My lens just needs to have a wider field of view I feel I have to get to far from the jeep to get the whole thing in the shot. Ideally what would be awesome is a go pro mounted for some suspension travel shots a hand held for the exterior and a digital camera taking pictures of the action. That would give the editor tons of stuff to work with. Because believe it or not those clips I used were trimmed down to dump the shaky shots but I had to keep some of it lol

The webcam offers a great POV shot of course. Probably the easiest or the cheapest way to get a POV shot from inside the cab. That external shot getting the entire jeep climbing the ledge is needed to make a good video.

The gopro is more of a mounted camera as well isn't it? I have seen them mounted on roof tops. If you want to get into
the action, the hand held is the way to go.

When talking jeep videos the gopro is more of a specialty shot. Getting unique camera shots to be edited in with the hand held camera shots.
