Original Message   Jan 12, 2011 8:27 pm
This first clip is my wife starting our Toro on the first pull, take that Honda!

Really hit the jackpot this time. This clip is of Toro's Power Max Auger System Up close while it's working! Awesome!

This next clip is me going crazy with the Joystick control on the Quick chute system. How's this for fast!

And one more of my wife doing our EOD

If you want to see more just search SteveCebu on YouTube there are a whole bunch more videos of my wife working the Toro.

If you like these please vote them a Thumbs up on YouTube

Hope you enjoy watching these as much as we enjoyed making them.

Wasn't that quick cute amazing tho! I had it at every possible angle up and down and very quick then I just whipped it back and forth for a bit, really threw up a cloud of snow.

So any ideas for future vids would be helpful.

Also what did you think of the vid on the Power Max Auger System? Got a great view of that in action!


Yeah.  That was pretty slick.  Simple, cheap, and effective. 

About the Powermax Auger video, all it needs is to zoom in and throw more light at it.  :)  Where's your production crew?  Got stuck in a blizzard?

Actually filming inside a snowblower bucket while it is moving towards you with an auger capable of chewing ME up, makes me leary of getting some bright light in there and too much zoom and it won't be stable without a dolly of some sort.

However the GoPro might be able to do it with the right mount.

Thanks kellyinkcglad you enjoyed them , We were shut down until the afternoon. I remember going to school in weather like that. Nowadays they cancel school if someone sees a snowflake or if we *might* get a storm.

We used to get 12"+ or more at a time in past years but not as much the past 2 years. Still I hope you get enough to make it fun to use your snowblower.

And I can bet you some of those mounts costs many more times than a Gopro camera.   So what if you chew up a couple of Gopro, after the first one, you'll learn to do it differently.  Hehehe.

Seriously, if you have something dangle a bar in front of the snowblower to point at the auger, you can strap a small flashlight next to it for lighting.  As you may already know, newbies buy the most expensive cameras, while the seasoned pros spend money on lighting and supports.  :)

Actually mounts for GoPro depending on who you buy from are relatively reasonable. I'm involved in a Video Forum and it gets over my head at times (well a lot of the time)  The thing is you need the right camera for the job and often everything else is jerry rigged. Mounts really just hold teh camera but often no mount exists so they'll do whatever it takes to get the shot. You still need a good fluid head if you want to pan and not get motion sickness. The GoPro will give good overall video but not detailed video, for that you need a different camera. We will have some fun withthe GoPro, but it's wide angle lens is not the same as teh wide angle on your average camcorder. Me I'd love a Canon XF105 if I had the $$$$$ to buy one, 50Mbps throughput! That would give incredible detail that you won't get with a camera costing only $1,500.

Wow am I way Off topic........ anyway we will try and get some good shots and try not to chew up the camera in the process.

As long as the memory card survives, I am sure the shots will look good regardless of how far it throws the camera :)

Anyone have a spare camera to let Steve barrow?

No sacrifices too big for such great footage.

Lending a spare camera to Steve is like handing it to the engineering department.  You're never going to get it back, and if you do, it will be all taken apart. 

Great idea though.
