  • Testing GoPro Hero2 with a Zoom H2 microphone

    Just a short testvideo to try out GoPro Hero2 with an attached Zoom H2 microphone. I obviously need a pop-filter also, to get rid of those popping p’s. And I need to work on my accent.

    Here is a photo of the setup. That Formula pad is a sticky nanomaterial-thingy, to make sure that the camera stays put. It can glue it to a wall also :-)

    The video was imported to and uploaded from an iPad. I can trim it there also, and if necessary do other basic editing. In my case using the iMovie app.

    A very simple and portable solution.

    Again, sorry for not posting more here, despite of being in the middle of it all. Back home they are busy with our National holiday, and here I’m doing all sort of irrelevant things instead of sitting down to blog. Like watching those awesome high-divers.

  • Moment of truth for Pรกl Joensen (FAR)

    How has it affected Pรกl Joensen to move from home in the Faroe Isles, to his own place in big town Copenhagen, and switching coach first to Paulus Wildeboer and then Shannon Rollason? I guess we will see soon, personally I’m taking this as the best time to be experimenting, if ever before Rio 2016.
