Default RE: Well boys...

Todd and I reviewed out footage after each hunt and made some tweaks to the camera setup as we went. It's cool to see the improvements in footage between Saturday morning's hunt (crap) and last night's hunt, which turned out pretty well. My biggest problem was getting the audio levels set properly through the XLR adapter, which eventually required me to put on a set of headphones to listen to while filming. We had the wireless mic level set WAY too loud.

I need to make some changes to the way my camera arm mounts to the tree as well. Right now it has a flat plate that sits against the tree, which likes to move throughout the course of the hunt as I'm moving the arm around, which not only makes noise but causes the camera to lean as well. I'm either going to weld some teeth on it, or drill some holes and run some bolts through it so it will bite into the tree better.

Oh, and the GL2 definitely lacks in low-light situations. We had a good 20 minutes-ish of shooting light left and the camera was done for the night.
