A Short Video of Malipay Trail Ride Using a DIY Helmetcam

Here’s a short video of our ride last March 6th at Malipay with Dino and Edwin using my DIY helmetcam Kodak Zx1. I bought it cheap for Php4995.00 pesos only. A few months ago it was worth Php11000. So, I bought it without any hesitation. haha! The spec is geat for its price, a 720p HD video quality @ 60 fps. Perhaps, the only good spec that is missing in this outdoor video camera is an image stabilization. Well, better check out the video first.

Note:
The youtube video may not be available to you if you’re located within United states and Canada. Heck, it’s due to the soundtrack that I used…..
