Zi6 Sample: Rangers vs. AC Milan
Thursday, February 5, 2009 at 07:34AM
I was invited to the Rangers vs. AC Milan friendly match last night, and took along my Zi6.
(Warning: the audio starts quietly and then suddenly gets loud.)
Rangers vs. AC Milan from Fraser Speirs on Vimeo.
I processed the video in iMovie '09. A couple of points:
The action scenes are cropped in iMovie, since we were sitting fairly far back in the stand. The quality suffers a little but I think it holds up remarkably well, all things considered. The original export looks even better than the Vimeo-processed file. You can download that file at the Vimeo page.
The Zi6 microphone coped extremely well with some very loud input volumes.

Could you not have asked the nice people in front of you to stay seated :-)
Seriously, good footage. And you didn't switch to adverts just before the goal.
I think the Zi6 a great camera. I used mine to shoot this the other day:

It's not so great in artificial light - obviously, from that clip - but the ease of use and immediacy more than make up for that.
I've been wondering about getting a Zi6 and that video is a great advert for the quality it can produce. I am surprised that something that well coped so well with the noise of a footie match and b) with the action going on so far away.
Glad you shared, now to get my wife to have a look :)
