nice video wws, only i wonder why the shot was standing still for like 4-5 sec long, also when ride was on the top the sound flew away for a few sec

[Oscar]

yeah sound got cut off, happens with it a 1 inch camera

pretty sweet reminds me when i was on xcelerator

Alright an Xcelerator. Great.[:)]

Ride looks fun . . . but the only thing the camera was shaking on controbly

Good VIDEO, but my question is why do they let you have a video camera on the rides? Also arent you afraid of dropping the camera, or having it fly back and smack someone. Good video

^ i know because i want to take a camera on Apollos Chariot but im afraid im gonna drop it? or they'll catch me. so how do u do it WeeWeeSlap

[Dirk_Ermen]

his camera is soo small that they won't see it, that's the reason why it's tilted at start a little up, because he is hiding it...

[coolbeans326]

yeah, the camera is about about the size of your fist, and he has an extension thats about the size of your finger. But they don't let your bring cameras on. The camera was bought specifically for that reason, or so Mr. Slap says....

I like this viedo good job on making this viedo wws it makes me want to ride xcelerator to bad I don'nt live anywere ner calfonia I live about 2000 miles away I wish that my parnts would take me to knttos berry farm I hope that you do a video of siver bulit the sound on the viedo got taking away for a little bit what happend?

Nice video.
My brother bought a CVS throw away video camera and hacked it so we could re-use it as much as we wanted. I got onrides of every coaster at Valleyfair (not very exciting but o well) but now something's wrong with it and he's to lazy to fix it so no vids yet. Anyway, I just had the camera in my pocket and pulled it out on the lift hill. Also, I had made my own wrist strap for it so I wouldn't lose it (even though it only cost $30 which is why I was using it in the first place)

[hyyyper]

i always put my cam in my sock, that why my footages stink

Cool video. I wanted one of Xcelerator.

^^Your footages. Thats not bad hyyyper.

Pretty nice vid. I can understand the not direct shot in the beginning with the ops. Looks like the gs are pretty intense in the pull-up on the top hat.

I use a DV cam. I've done about 30 onrides and never had a single prob, well, once my lens cap came off but thank God that happened on a stand-up, so I just stepped on it and got me vid! =) I carry a bag so I just hold the bag instead of leaving it in the station and they don't care. Then I wip it out on the lift. Launch coasters are harder, on those, I put the camera under my shirt and pull it out after the ops pass me. Pretty simple once you get used to it. No worries.

[coolbeans326]

you've never been to a cedar fair park, then.

That I haven't. When we went to BGT they wouldn't even let a bag in the line, let alone on the ride. I'm guessing thats how CP is. Thats why I went with compactness in mind when I got me cam. =P

Where can you buy a camera small enough to sneak on a ride?

What is Best-Buy, Circuit City, any place that is BIG.

Well hes hideing it because otherwise they think your trying 2 steal design ideas or something right??

Its not because someone will steal the ride design, they just don't want you to drop it and blame them, or for you to drop it and it hit someone else.

Yea, its all about the media. If they got ahold of something like that where someone got hurt because of a 2lb cam, they would jump on it like crazy.

Everybody acts like its dangerous or they'll lose their camera. I think its dangerous but I never once thought I'd lose it. The rides aren't that rough. =)
