okay folks listen up.....
If you insist on making a video of your cruise experience, and your intent is to post it to YouTube,
DONT USE YOUR CELL PHONE ! Please, get yourself a GoPro or something similar. It is so frustrating watching a narrow video with thick borders.

That's funny, it drives me crazy to see people take video with there cell phone not turned horizontally when taking video.
Every video we own is not suitable for public consumption ... except maybe the sailaways and go pro mounted ones...
Do share those memories!!!
That's because the audio capability of the cell phone camera is limited by the microphone. You can shoot the most beautiful video but forget getting any high fidelity audio unless you can hook up an external mic to it.
Here's a sample using the cell phone to record video and ambient sound.

I really enjoyed your video and commentary. Thanks for sharing the Panama experience.
I've watched some that were with cell phones held horizontal and they are fine. There are so many cruise videos on YouTube, that if I come across ones I don't like for any reason, it's quick to stop them and go to the next. Sometimes, just the sound needs to be turned off. LOL

As a video junkie, I use my cell phone as a backup to my camcorder and still camera that shoots video clips. It makes decent video, with reasonable resolution and color rendition. Downside: no stabilization system to isolate movement and shake. Also, the cheap microphone is severely limited. I haven't found one that accepts an external mic. Once you find out how much better it is to shoot HD video in 16:9, you're showing everything you're seeing. Another downside, no practical zoom lens. Sure you can, but it's hardly smooth. Better to pause your recording, zoom in (or out), recompose and start again. Also, mounting a cell phone camera on ANY kind of support, like a tripod, will improve your shots immensely. Even holding it against a wall, a ledge, a signpost will do in a pinch. Here's a sample:

I agree!
What????? Are they the type of videos that you had to go down town and then to a below street level secret shop to buy? Or is it just the language?
Both - lol
