Bit cold out today at Milford soccer pitch but the sun was warm despite the wind.

Video is private Craig.

Saw a car up there today. Should have stopped.

That video is from my gopro but the video in the Goggle's is the best I have seen yet. No breakup at all. I was very impressed and the osd works very well having all the important information in your view. I must say things are looking good.

Very cool Craig! Can you upload the video from your googles too? I know that you would have recorded that :-)

Thank's Craig, I was curious to see how the OSD worked.

By the way the breakup in the recording at the bottom is caused by turning the Dominators on before the video transmitter is on. That sometimes causes a mismatch of video protocols (PAL vs NTSC) and only seems to affect the recording.

Thanks for that info on the goggles Rick. I wondered what caused it. I had them turned on the whole time I was up Milford to keep some heat in them.
