Thanks Joe!

<<Nice. Did you do any of the motion footage with some sort of stabilizing mount for the phone/camera? Looked pretty smooth.

Thanks. I attached the camera to my "uni-cable-cam", which is a filming technique I came up with about a year or so ago, specifically designed for filming my more extreme unicycling. I carry the entire setup in my backpack, consisting of the UCC (uni-cable-cam), 100 foot spool of 3/16" nylon cord, and a piece of tubular foam which feeds onto the low end of the cord to stop the unit from hitting the tree! I find two trees or other structures, and tie each end of the cable to each, making one end higher, since it's powered by gravity. Then at the higher start point I let the unit go and it tracks me while I ride. And yes, it is amazingly smooth!  I've made about 15 videos just showcasing my UCC. Here's a compilation:

I still use an ancient "candy bar" cellphone, but I had a chance to try a new cell phone that also shoots video in hd! Pretty cool.
I can see  it also coming in handy to shoot footage of restored pianos. Something nice to give a customer of before & after! 


Anyway, here's the video shot with a cameraphone. 

I gotta say that the older I get, the scarier these big drops get, lol! The birds scene at the very end came out especially beautiful!
