eBirdseed.com Video!

Hi all,

Yeah, it had to happen. I saved my nickels and dimes (literally) and finally bought a video recorder. Hot Dog Gone! We're talking optical incompetence in motion. More about the technical in a minute, but first check out the "Cecil B." work below.

I attached the camera to a tripod and set it out by the feeder. After some time, the camera mysteriously pointed skyward. Still, I did get a quick shot of a crow. (Before editing, the video was 47 minutes long.) No doubt the quality of content will improve.

Onward.

OK, so here's some of the "dweeb" camera stuff...

  • It's a Flip Video... Popular enough
  • As surprising as this sounds, it's only about the size of a deck of cards
  • 640 X 480 resolution
  • 1 hour of recording time
  • 2 GB of memory
  • Has 5 hr battery life (AA)
  • 30 frames/second (Good enough for smooth video)
  • Focal length .8 meters to infinity
  • Built in mic
  • TV out
  • Vids can be uploaded to YouTube
  • The only real downside seems to be the requirement for proprietary software.
Yup, yup, yup... If you're a repeat reader, you're going to be seeing a bunch of bird videos from here on out. And as you might expect, the videos will be posted in our photo library (link below).

Quiet on the set... Action... And roll'em by the feeders,
