Great videos! Lots of time and effort went into those, thank you.
You're right, hand held is the way to go. The nuances the eye gets in the viewfinder is unmatched. But I don't have a helmet cam. Now a helmet cam with a view finder...now we're talkin'.

The MR? Would love to video that if only I had a video camera that wasn't tape-based (OLD). I might do that this summer with a tiny Canon (Costco special). But might be just the Final 400 (carefully!) since the AVI files are as big as the mountain itself. And maybe next winter too...
Can't wait to see more videos of the trails. Great job!
