It was a very nice day. We all miss the old access trail. This one is so rocky that the camera stabilization can't keep up unless you crawl along. We'll have to make a go round for that washed out section. It keeps getting worse. Every few years the rescue crew has to go out for someone. Them bergs do roll. Thanks for watching.

If it says 1080@60, then check the properties on your finished video as this will tell you what you produced it at. If the latter says 1080@30, then your settings in your editing program when you are producing are set wrong. More than likely you are changing it to 30fps during the production process.

The audio sounds great. The video stabilization is awesome, but it's too bad KZbin degrades our videos so much (the trees were very pixeled when you were moving). You may want to check your bitrate settings (go as high as possible if not already there) and set your film speed to 60 fps. Just a suggestion; I'm sure you've already got all this figured out.
