Just wait the 20 seconds. Then the clip will be available to you for download. I think the timer is there to ease some of stress from the servers, but the wait is usually under a minute.

Looks great Les! The HD really makes it look great as well ;)

I'm really liking the look of this thing! Any chance we could see some pics of the actual unit?

Thanks Aaron.

I will post a picture of this unit next week. I'm making a more production ready version then. The thing will be about 3 1/2 in diameter, and a little less than that lengthwise. Much smaller than the spinning CD style.

Yes, the server requires you to click 'FREE', then wait for a few seconds before the download commences. Hey, it's free!

Next week I also intend to upload a video with the hot spot solved. I'm juggling too many projects these days!

Les any chance I could get you to post the type, focal length, and aperture setting of the les you used?

Also, what macro are you using? Does the JVC have a 72mm thread?

I threw some post process on it for the fun of it.

Looks perty good to me man. Looks like the JVC GR-HD1 you're using has a 52mm filter ring size. I wonder how this thing would work on a 72mm ring front end. Hmmmmm.

The taking lens is just a common low cost Minolta 50mm.
The kind that commonly ships with a camera body.
It says it's a 1:2 , and the fstop was 1/2 way between f2.8 and f4.

The JVC HD10 had a +2 diopter on it's 52mm screw mount.

Steev, I like the darker color correction you did ! I didn't want to mess with it too much when I posted it. It could use some sharpening too, just to snap it up a bit.
