Hitachi EX 60 Excavator Making a Small Gravel Parking Lot 690261
YouTube converted version. They both look about the same to me. Using a Hitachi EX 60 excavator to construct a rough angle parking lot at a road side This is the same basic video as the other one I uploaded, entitled 'EX 60', but about a minute and a half shorter. I uploaded it to experiment with resolution settings. This one was created at 320x240, while the other one was done at 640x480. I wanted to see how much of a difference it would make in the YouTube converted version. They both look about the same to me.
Using a Hitachi EX 60 excavator to construct a rough angle parking lot at a road side in front of a building supply company in Vancouver, Canada.
NOTE: Sorry about the rough pixels. Honestly, it looked much better before I uploaded it. I guess a lot of the resolution was lost when the YouTube site converted it.
I am a rather pleased with the way this vid turned out; actually, this is my first 'head cam' video that I can honestly say turned out pretty much as I had hoped. I was having a bit of a rough go of it, what with trying to get the camera up and down angle just right, as you probably can tell from watching some of my other 'at work' type videos. I tried tilting my hard hat to a much more forward angle this time, and pretty much hit the target bang on. What you see in this video is pretty much what I see when operating the excavator, but with a markedly narrower field of view, obviously. The camera still cannot follow my eyes' movement, just the movement of my head.
One thing that I found interesting: When I watched this video full-screen before uploading it to this site, it occurred to me that what I saw on screen was pretty much the perspective that I saw when sitting in the cab, distancewise, in other words, the size of the objects on screen was pretty much the same as what I saw through my own eyes when in the machine, which I think is a plus. The down side is that the video gets a bit shaky at times, due to the bouncing and shaking of the machine. I left it in, rather than trying to stabilize it, as I would have had to give up too much of the image, and at some points, you would not have been able to see important aspects of this video, like the dozer blade, for example, as they would have been removed from the edge of the picture.
I would ask two things of you: Please RATE this video, and PLEASE COMMENT on it. I'll be grateful if you would do that for me - be they favorable or unfavorable comments.
I'm also open to your suggestions for future videos. I do not currently have access to a cat or backhoe, sorry (used to have, but that doesn't help now). But I will be doing a few more later on with an EX 200 (hopefully on a commercial demolition job somewhere) and a dump truck. Well, maybe not the dump truck, but we'll see.
On another note, I'm looking for someone who would be willing to ride shotgun in a garbage truck (front loader, so no picking up garbage bags, just picking up cans with the forks) with me on one Saturday, to do camera work. There are a few different angles, etc, that I want to play with (eg: getting some overhead shots of the packer blade doing its thing, which I can't do solo, as I need someone in the cab to push the button for the blade; getting a side shot of the rear door opening and the blade pushing the garbage out, etc), and try to put together a better garbage truck video or three, than the ones I've been able to do so far.
You'd have to pack your own lunch, and the only pay would be the pure, unadulterated joy of riding in a garbage truck (quite a glamorous thing, really ;p) . But if you're into that, and live in the greater Vancouver area, let me know. I usually start at about 3 am, as it's a 12 -13 hour shift, and I like to get it done before the transfer station closes. The shop is on the North Shore. (more) (less)
