My nephew actually got that for Christmas...........and he plays the trombone. I'm sure this is WAY too tame for him, but - I would like him to make me a video just like this.

With that "Gro Pro" camera attached, will start giving a lot of people new ideas what to attach it too! Interesting video, makes me dizzy watching it! LOL !

Trombone!? Kelly the video is not longer there.Darn. I am surprised at the quality. For the price, it seems very good. Be curious if anyone has had any personal experience with it.

Hmmmm. Ok. I fixed it. We'll see if that one lasts.

i was thinking about buying a gopro and attaching it to a small raft and sending it over falls like Taughannock. Would make for great footage.
No budget for it now though.

Exactly. Doing a rafting trip in June and thought this might be a pretty cool way to get some footage.

I just received my Tube for my Coolpix P510. It came two weeks earlier than planned! An extra that I got was the tube is two pieces. So there's no "tubing" effect at minimum opening.

Today I recieved my "Magfilter CPL", for my Coolpixs S9050 camera. In the companies picture of the carry bag that comes with it, looks like it's a stiff constructed bag. But it's not, it's actually a soft plyable case. I cleaned off the surface area and mounted the mag-ring to camera. I had one problem: When I closed up camera, the over hanging edge of ring adheard to the next ajacent metal sleeve on camera, and would not open back up. I took ring off and open camera back up, remounted ring and ran a light coating of vasoline around the exposed edge. Closed camera wiped off excess, reopened camera and wiped off excess again. Now the ring doesn't catch the other sleeve on my camera. I attached metal CPL, WOW!! does this ever have a strong hold! I shook my camera hard and couldn't get the filter to fall off. I even tried pushing the filter off from the side with my finger and that was very tough to do also. The CPL slides around metal ring for adjustments, it doesn't turn like a regular CPL does. Here are some pictures of the magfilter setup on my camera. I'll get out later today and take some photos to try it out hopefully.
