Nice.

Consider trying barrel cam style ... then you can actually see what's going on

Lots of people are buying helmet cams which are great but it can be difficult to make an interesting video with the footage, play much closer and cut more out the final vid would be my suggestion.

Those spools look dangerous, but what fun is paintball without the risk of tetnis?

Nice Mag though.

man, i miss asylum. such an awesome field. wish i had discovered it earlier.

towards the end, was that old fort or new fort? when i was there last (pump day '09) they just had finished the walls for new fort.

Nice video! I don't know if it's just me, but does anyone else think that raw videos (without music) are better? I have to admit--this is one of the first "with music" paintball video I've actually liked; music was good and not annoying rap or pop

Don't get me wrong--excellent video, really. It's a nice one. But do you think your next one could be without music? I like to hear people yelling out positions, and I like to hear the guns being fired

Just my two cents worth. Crap. I shouldn't have posted this... Now I have negative two cents in my bank account....

No worries, I appreciate all the feedback; positive or negative. Originally I had planned on no music and just the on field audio. When I converted the format for the video to be able to use my movie maker the audio didn't transfer for some reason. Next time will be on field audio only for sure.

Camera is pointed down too much. The only thing that was really visible most of the time was the back of your rotor and xvalve, and your hands. It was seldom that the shot was high enough to catch much of the action.
Personally I am not a fan of the barrel cam idea as it too often is pointed at the ground or the back of a bunker. The idea (hopefully) of a helmet cam is to see what the wearer saw.
