They look fine to me, excellent Color/detail. Other than the fine tuning with the 1080P in adjustments I wouldn't worry about upgrading now, wait till they do some major improvements on the mic wind noise on the future model.

Yeah well the Sheriff stopped us and let us know that the road was an easment through private property and if we got off the road...even a foot...and he saw or got a call...we would be going to jail for treaspassing. Same thing if we went over 30mph. Sooooo...we were pokie...and stayed on the raod.....because he was ..out there...somewhere...watching.

What was he driven??? IF its wasn't another Brute, I'd thumb my nose and peel out... I made that comment after the first vid. In the second ya'll did ride in some water for a bit. I feel a little better now. Only left was to tackle one of the pretty mountains your riding through.. Still looks like fun!! PoPo or not....

Hopefully you are only kidding.
Rider's who do what you stated cause Closures for everyone, if there isn't a trail there then don't make one.
We have the same problem in the Mountains we ride, there is always someone who just has to cut new trails or do a short-cut, this causes trail closures and that causes more rider's cutting trail even more-it never ends. It is very obivious what is a traveled road/trail Vs a newly short-cut or a set of tracks going up a side of a mountain. We aren't the only ones out there using the Forest, show some respect to the land and all of the user's can get along. It is not just the atv's that cause problems, dirt-bikes too and Jeeps as well but here, it is the atv rider who is Blamed for everything.
This area, Monticello Canyon is Special, aren't too many places in New Mexico where you have this many creek crossings and where you can ride right up through the creek in sections, this is also more of a Spring or Fall ride, the summer temps in Monticello Canyon would be well into the 100's.
The 30 mph limit is mainly in the area with the ranch housing, once you get past them, then you can pick up the pace, as I did..

Guess that's the diff between NM and AR! We make new trails everyday! If you can get through it, over it or around it, then get the hell after it! I Got about 25,000 acres here at my deer camp that we can cut and rut up on! If I go somehwhere to play in ur backyard I always obey the rules. Just don't like em much. Find a nice spot out there with good lookin stuff on it and pm me. May just buy it and let all of ya come play like you should be able too!

Sounds like you are on Private property then that is fine but here in NM it is BLM or Forest Service land, either one you must stay on the existing trails/roads. Most of the Private property is gated and locked.
Once the snows melt off, the Mountain riding here is a Blast, miles and miles of trails, over all types of terrain and elevations range from 6500ft up to 10,120ft. Can't wait!!
