Hot Air Balloon


Hot Air Balloon - Bermuda Dunes, CA from Linda McClure on Vimeo.

I was a passenger in the car when I saw a hot air balloon floating across the sky. I happen to have my mini camera in my purse. So I rolled down my window and filmed this short clip while waiting on a traffic light. As I was filming, a small plane (left the sound in it) flew over the balloon.

This footage is a bit shaky because the camera was hand held and zoomed in.

THAT must have been interesting for those in the balloon (and for those in the plane). What "small camera" are you using? Your regular digital, or do you have a small video cam?

I was using my Sanyo Xacti HD1 digital camcorder. I'm not too happy with it because it's very shaky, even with a tripod at times. I've had a lot of problems with this cam (the black screen issue - 3 times) Sanyo should have recalled it. I don't recommend this cam at all.

I'm looking to get a better HD digital with a bigger lens and for smoothness. I'm reading reviews and taking my time. Wait after the product been's on the market over a year and when the price is down.
