One tip – invest in a tripod.
I paid £60 for a ‘filming’ tripod from eBay (second hand), with a long handle to move the cam, and it made a huge difference. The tripod head is very “slippery” (ooh..err!), which means when you’ve moving the camera, it doesn’t ‘stutter’ (from friction)Tripod and a fluid head is what they’re called – and yes, I’m hoping to do so as soon as I have the funds for one. The ones I have my eye on are a tad pricey though, looking at about £150-200 for the pair.

Sorry Will, didn’t mean for my post to sound overly critical. Really liked the vid and would like to see more.
Great scope for videos from that place as it works as a DH venue without being on a mountain. Reckon a cable cam could be awesomeNo probs, always good to have constructive criticism. Cable cam sounds like a good idea, I’ve always wanted to play with one of those. Watch this space…? 😛

I really enjoyed the video especially the song and it put a smile on my face, I would probably say it could be a a little better by being a bit shorter.
Looks great and the video quality was very good, my friend has the 700D which I’ve used on occasion so I might ask her to film some stuff, though I am thinking of getting a 100D for myself.
Did you take many photos on the day? I would love to see some if you do.Yeah the length is a bit long…I made it primarily for the guys who ride to see, so I wanted to include as many of them as possible. If I was doing it with the main intention of a wider audience, I’d cut a fair bit of the clips out (or shorten them), and the end would be chopped off.
If you can, I’d stretch to the 600D rather than the 100D – I’ve heard a lot of stories about the 100D being pretty low end, and feeling cheap – the 600, 650, and 700D are a far better option IMHO – and they’re built like tanks.
I did take some photos – here they are: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10152028228671894.1073741847.633611893&type=1&l=5c68d06beb

Very nice 🙂 One thing! What did you feel like not going to help that poor tree hugger?
Haha, he was fine, promise! There were about 5 people standing around (inc a marshal who knows first aid…I don’t), and they all went to help. He was back on the bike after about 10 mins.
