Some photos with the Pentax W90 mounted to the kite, it is not a good quality camera, hope you like the pics....
Location: Northern beaches, Sydney, NSW
Hey Christian, regarding the W90..
You might want to check your settings because I get awesome photo quality out of mine - on photos.
Movie I agree the quality is crap unless you are completely zoomed out and still crap after that - you cannot beat the GoPro on film and photo quality.
But the W90 surely has its place. The quality improved no end since my W60 - perhaps a good thing it got water logged by the seal not closing properly. Mind you, it was 2,5 years old.
Look at a couple of random pics at different zoom levels... Photos are untouched.. I didn't zoom them in Photoshop, they are straight out of the camera.
Hey, Sir V... photo 4... you might want to start experimenting with the zoom. and you could also consider working on some more content on that angle, i think there is a website dedicated to that stuff... called 'upskirts' or something.
I was just casually passing by on my way to the water... I swear Ociffer
It's just that kind of beach.

This thread is so getting out of hand..
Not necessarily a bad thing. No faces involved, no lawsuits on the horizon.. dream away guys.
I cannot agree more Christian.. the video is a let down. If you reduce to 720 you get the old 32 minutes but then again so did the W60. It really is a let down that the video is such crap.
I saw another piece of video of someone's post today that was quite good and I asked what camera he is using. Let's see if we get an answer.

Chris, maybe you could send me one with my new Argo 17m... ...
All my best!!!
I've asked my friend about the video settings, I'll post them as soon as he tell me.
SirV, where are you located???
All my best,
Alex
Anyone taken some photos with a luminx?
the image below was taken on the w30 ( 3 year old camera, not much difference or might be even better than the new w90 piece of plastic crap)
SirV, I'm located in North East of Spain (Costa Brava). I asked you because I was surprised seeing your comment in spanish...
It seems the "secret" to get the best quality with Optio W80 (the same for W30 or W90 is not working with zoom or work with the less zoom as possible --> More zoom means less image quality and worst stability.
In our case the camera is located directly on the lines, in many cases at less than 5 m from the rider (attached to the 2 central lines).
Our support is hand-made, but I think there is something standard for go pro, not sure for other cameras.
All my best,
Alex
