Not perfect - but you'll get great video

Two issues that I have notice before any actual on-mountain usage: some fish-eye effects in every mode but complete 1080p. Goggle mount is a bit wobbly, but that's to be expected.Anyway, the camera itself is pretty sweet. The video quality is excellent, colors are rich and vivid, quite clear and crisp. Looks great on variety of websites including Facebook, VholdR.com, and Youtube.The basic software that comes with the camera allows you to modify certain audio/video settings to get the best video given the lighting conditions (sunny day, etc).I don't have any high-end post-processing software, Adobe Premiere or Vegas Studio. But the VholdR.com website forums have some good recommendations.All in all, fairly satisfied. The stability of the goggle mounts could be vastly improved). But the video's awesome! Can't wait to use it more and put together some nice videos.Here is a sample (filmed in "Tall HD"):http://vholdr.com/video/loveland-pass-professor

Thanks, Craig. I eventually figured that out and it worked well (think I was timid about breaking the camera or something). Thanks again!

Nate. The base plate is removable. Attach the camera and give a firm pull, to remove it from the helmet mount.. Then you insert/clip it into the goggle mount.
