Well, this was just a test to see if the camera I had mounted to my uni looking down at the wheel would work. It worked great!
Maybe a little too close to the wheel, next time I’ll mount it under the seat.
Here’s the mini tripod mildly taped to the frame…
That is a cool effect! Good quality, and a nice hopping and dropping sequence. Maybe if you leave it mounted low, but point it up a little more so the tire is in the lower 3rd of the frame.
Post some more of those!

Dude. I just posted a helmet cam gallery, and now I see this. Here’s to mounting cameras in wierd places.
Too bad my computer at work doesn’t like quicktime. I’ll check out the movie later.
Where is the recording unit? Do you run it into a camcorder?
Is that your toilet that is powered by unicycle.com? I don’t care … that’s what I want to believe. The film was cool. I got motion sickness watching it so it must have been very realistic. I think you’re right that it was too close or tilted too far down, the field of view seemed very small.
Someone needs to use Uni Cam and Helmet Cam on the smae ride and make a split screen movie.
Harper, I too would want to believe that. Unfortunately it is a bar fridge; you can still get drinks from it, but it just isn’t as good in the end.
Later,
Eli.
I can see this one being added to someone’s signature ;).

that is just the tripod tapedto the unicycle.
to this, I mount the camera used forall my pic/vid posting in this forum.I am impressed with this little thing!
I recommend it to anyone(looking for an entry level still/vid cam)
It’s a Dimage Minolta X (although it is a season or so old, so it’s probably been replaced by something even better)
seeing this, they have upgraded it to 3.3 MP in the same package…I didn’t read any further)
although they’ll be frozed solid. thar be a freezer
That was my second guess.
Later,
Eli.
Sod’s law, innit… people start posting videos I really want to see now I’ve left my super-speedy internet connection behind for an unreliable modem at home… 
Could people post some screenshots? Pretty please with a cherry on top?

Isn’t it remarkable that good observations like this one from Andrew
cause smiles all over the world, in attics, hobby rooms, livings, at
work… wherever all of you are reading.

to get the full feel of the video shake your moniter back and forth vigoursly while looking at the above pix…
Mike
Nice!
Lets hook up Kris Holm with a helmet and seat cam and then get him to do some crazy, crazy stuff…
Thankyou for posting that … I enjoyed it.
There’s a nice little seat cam part in the Unizaba trailer/video. I’m pretty sure it’s attached to Nathan’s unicycle. I just finished downloading the video…very nice, but next time I also think you should tilt it up a bit.
Andrew
And there is a uni-cam in Universe looking down at the wheel on Dan’s freestyle unicycle. It’s in the skate park segment.
Well, what I found remarkable and weird (though understandable) is that the wheel stayed in the same place in the picture frame while the stairs and stuff moved and ‘shaked’ vigorously. You’re accustomed to seeing it the other way around.
Klaas Bil
Yeh, me too. It’s an interesting feeling.
Andrew
Not even, I thought it was remarkably smooth!
What was missing was a sense of depth. I could see you going up steps and jumping off things, but the untrained eye would barely be able to tell this, and would have little idea of what was going on. If there’s a way to widen the shot, that should help. For the very best use of this technique though, it should be combined with regular shots from the side, with a repeat of the action from both angles.
Cool clip!
