Video onboard

[akkadian]

Okay so I want to get video sorted out for daily rides. What's everyone using? Tried normal camera but vibration was an issue? How about something like a Flip Mino?

[steve_t]

GoPro HD. All POV (point of view) cameras will have vibration issues. Some video editing software like iMovie can add stabilisation for the sake of some peripheral picture

[george formby]

You need to mount the camera to something rigid as rigidly as possible. Wobbly bits of fairing are no good. The further the camera is from the mounts point of contact the more flex & vibration you will get. I have mounted my go pro at the base of the fairing, no flex, & do not use an extension bracket. Tis tickety boo. Same on your helmet if you don't twitch.

[banditrider]

GoPro all the way. I have also got an older Panasonic handycam (records to SD) and it was ok but the GoPro is waterproof and the video quality is heaps better.

On my V-Strom it's mounted on a ram ball on my clutch reservoir and on the Connie I have it on another ram ball on my handle bars. I have used the suction mount on one my panniers but have a hard time trusting it...

Going to try to make up some different mounts at some stage - would like one off one of the pillion pegs to get a nice low view down the bike...

Here's my Youtube channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/exbanditrider?feature=mhee), if you look through the vids a bit you'll be able to see the quality difference between the GoPro and the old camera. Just remember that on Youtube the video has been processed a few times and the quality lowered a lot when compared to the raw video from the camera.

[akkadian]

Thanks guys. Looks like a GoPro is the answer. Now where did I put that visa card...

[steve_t]

Thanks guys. Looks like a GoPro is the answer. Now where did I put that visa card...

If you're keen, I might sell my GoPro HD with headstrap (which I use to attach to my helmet), chest harness (use when mountain biking), suction cup mount (for car windscreen mounting), curved helmet mount, not sure where the flat mount is at the moment but I haven't used it, orange 'doohickey' to stop clicking noise if it's an issue (i've never used it), AV cable and component video out cable, 16gb Kingston SD card, closed and skeleton doors, LCD Bacpac with close and skeleton doors, storage pouch, original packaging. PM me me and make me an offer if you like. I just don't use it enough. Unfortunately, I don't take visa :innocent:
Damn it, where's that flat mount?!

[akkadian]

Thanks for the offer man but unfortunately its either visa or a swap for my Mrs. Actually, just checked with her and she's kinda fond of the kids so not keen on a swap at this stage. Will check with her again in another month when son number 3 arrives!

Does the Gopro have a microphone plug? How do you limit the wind noise?

Yea, I have both Vio Pov 1.5 vidcam as well as a Drift HD ..... what I like about these apart from both having an LCD viewfinder/ monitor screen, you can screw a Ram ball directly into the tripod screw thread. So apart from being attached solidly onto the camera body, the Ram system allows it to be mounted almost anywhere on the bike without excessive vibration. I somehow think attaching the same thing onto the long GoPro stalk being plastic an' all not quite so reassuring in terms of minimising vibration. That's my take..... and I must add having a spare Ram ball poking out from the bottom LHS engine mount off the Duc gives an interesting angle for a camera to aimed at the front wheel and suspension movement...!

They are pretty good, as is the Go Pro...as another option the Tachyon HD is fantastic value for money too. All my vids are done on the Tachyon, the old one however that wasn't HD...the new ones are. Planning on getting one shortly.

[Reckless]

Go Pro 1080p good price if the special is still on

http://www.torpedo7.co.nz/products/VHCMHN0CC

[george formby]

Contour...

Tis a good price & the waterproof house is less than $70. Good buying.

[BoristheBiter]

Sorry after using and seeing all three the Drift HD is better all round.
Crisper, clearer images, water proof without any new cases, long life battery, takes up to a 32G sd card and takes the knocks (mine got up close and personal with a tree).
The new one is even better and if size is a factor they now do a small version but it won't take the long life battery.

I have mine mounted on the helmet off road and on the mirror on road.
Someone had them on trade me but i imported mine from Canada.

If you need to compare or see what you will get check this web site out (where i got mine)

http://www.launchhelmetcams.ca/

They have all you need, good prices and fast delivery, good after sales service.

[Bikemad]

hey Boris.......just to clarify,is yours the drift stealth or the drift HD and were you pinged for GST when it landed in NZ and how expensive is a 32SD card.........cheers

[BoristheBiter]

hey Boris.......just to clarify,is yours the drift stealth or the drift HD and were you pinged for GST when it landed in NZ and how expensive is a 32SD card.........cheers

I have the first version, HD170. It is the same as the stealth but without the 60fps.
No i wasn't pinged for GST. under $400.
I purchased an expensive 32G card as I use it for other things but the ones they sell at launch are cheaper than most here.

If i got one now it would be the stealth, I know the HD is smaller but it doesn't take the long life battery.
The only other one I would consider would be the contour GPS but that is only because of the gps, but Drift is looking at doing that in about 6 months.

[Bikemad]

thanks for that Boris...........i assume the charger supplied is Nz 230V power compatible...............the Contuor GPS sounds interesting...........will have a squizz

[BoristheBiter]

thanks for that Boris...........i assume the charger supplied is Nz 230V power compatible...............the Contuor GPS sounds interesting...........will have a squizz

The charging is done via USB cable.
I have a wall charger from my GPS so have never looked but i know you can buy the wall and car charger as a pack and at the moment there are on special.

Just went and looked at my GPS one and it is from 100-240v so i only need a plug adaptor.
FYI Canada is the same voltage and plug type as the US.
The wall charger from Launch should be fine but you can always email to check what the input voltage can be.

[Bikemad]

Crap.............just did all the bullshit to try and buy a stealth to get a message at the end sayin they cant sell them internationaly ffs

Was that the Aussie site or the Canadian one?

[Bikemad]

tried both the aussie and canadian sites for Launch...........both declined international sales...........just bought one through camzilla.........another aussie site......got the camera,32G SDcard,long life battery,and waterproof bag thingy and frieght for under $600nz....pricks here at Base in wanaka want $649.00 for the camaera alone.....cheers

GoPro HD Hero2 released today.

11MP stills at 10FPS
120FPS video.
Wifi Bacpac and Wifi remote to come soon.
Better optics.
Mic input.

Looks like a good improvement :yes:

[Snakeman]

I have been using a GoPro HD for a couple of years and am pretty happy with it.
I have tried mounting it in many places using the suction cap, Helmet mounting (on chin is best) as well as ball mounts attached to the pillion grab-rail and bolts on the forks (my favourite spot for a nice and low view).
It really does needs a solid mount.

You can capture some great video footage as well as stills, although video software can help with slight vibrations picked up from the bumpy bits

[slofox]

Anyone got any pics of a GoPro mounted on a sporty (GSX-R600 in my case)?

I prefer to mount on the bike rather than on the helmet although I have used helmet mounts before. Can't use a stem mount since that's already taken by GSP and RD.

Tempted by the GoPro 960 - because I might be able to afford that model if I try hard. Others a little expensive for my current budget.

Not a gixxer but this way of mounting seems quite popular

[george formby]

I would be tempted to wait Mr Fox. Lots of new (up-dated) cameras coming out so prices will plummet. Got to go HD & got to go with the lithium battery. AAA's are a pain in the butt. The Contours seem to be getting cheaper & cheaper too. For mounting, the Go Pro will film right way up, upside down if you know what I mean, so you can hang it off engine bars, indicators, the base of the radiator or fairing etc. I'm still trying to figure out how to attach it to my knee..

[sil3nt]

Do you want to borrow mine? To see if its worth it. You can suction to the tank and get a good view with a clear screen.

Those weren't sneakers you were wearing, were they? And that wasn't a compulsary stop at the rail crossing on the return trip was it?

Certainly nice clear video. At the onset, I kept trying to scroll up the picture to see further down the road.

I would love to get a video camera to mount on my bike but finding a decent one that fits in my budget could be fun. Mind you, I havent really started looking yet.

But thanks for the info re the camera. Looks OK. What sort of money are they costing?

[slofox]

Anybody know about the GoPro 960?

Apart from less resolution at the top end, why should I get the higher spec? Higher spec needs more storage and processing power when editing, yes? What exactly would you lose with the 960?

With my GoPro HD, I normally use R4 which is 960p @ 30fps. I don't think the 1080p mode adds much and the files are bigger and take longer to crunch :yes:

'swhat I thought...

[Grantman_]

I use the gopro HD. 1080p certainly offers the greatest detail (only on 1080p screens of course) but at a narrower field of view vertically and horizontally. The narrower field of view can be positive if you want objects to appear closer. Even if you can't watch the vid in full 1080p now you've still 'future proofed' it for when you can.

A disadvantage to 1080p is at times a 'jello' effect where rapid up and down jolting causes horizontal parts of the image to overlap on itself slightly for split seconds. Looks like a 'wobble' in the picture and is more pronounced with som pov cameras than others. The gopro seems to hold up best in this department better than the others from what I've read.

960p is not wide screen format but shows the full vertical field of view. 720p at 60fps is the best mode for general use unless you specifically need more vertical room. The added fps cuts out any 'jello' affect (not generally noticeable outside 1080p anyway).

I've used the gopro extensively and I'd go with them again. That's not to say I haven't had niggles - google 'gopro pink video problem'. I've also had a gopro mount fitting break and the camera fall off the back of my bike. I probably did the mounting screw up so tight it cracked the mount. Where it was mounted saw big vibrations and jolts which would have worked away at it also. Fortunately a fellow biker following me saw it happen.

[sil3nt]

The 960 does not have the expansion port on the back for the LCD BacPac and whatever else they release for it.

[steve_t]

Slofox, price up the 960 and PM it to me... I may have a deal for you ;)

[awa355]

So, which is the better mounting; on the helmet or on the bike? I would imagine that on the helmet would produce more shaking than a fixed rigid mount.

[Grantman_]

So, which is the better mounting; on the helmet or on the bike? I would imagine that on the helmet would produce more shaking than a fixed rigid mount.

I've tried both. Best mount is on the bike if you want the sensation of speed and lean angle to come accross. The helmet mount doesn't have a problem with vibration etc because you will find bumps and vibrations are soaked up by your body and you tend hold your head quite steady. The pros for the helmet mount are an expansive viewpoint covering the bike and looking around at scenic things etc, but sense of lean angle and speed is lost. Due to the height of the camera above the ground things appear slower and you hold your head largely horizontal when leaning which means leaning doesn't come into the picture well. For that reason if you are camera mounting on your helmet go for a side mount not a top mount to get the lower view.

Mounting on the bike is best if you're wanting speed and lean rather than a scenic affect. Try to use a mount setup that sits directly below the camera and doesn't hold the camera out at any angle. Bumps will cause an extended camera to vibrate more.

That's not just limited to the go pro (did it with my drift). It's a battery/memory card problem and is sorted out by replacing the camera under warranty.

The one thing I dislike about the Gopro is you can't turn the lens so the camera has to be straight all the time.
Drift and contour both have rotatable lenses so you can fit them in more places.

Nice :niceone:

But i was meaning if you don't have a flat surface to attach it to or if it is slightly out you can't straighten the lens like you can on the Drift or contour.

Not sure i get your drift, no pun intended. I have a couple of wee extra arms with mine which allow it to be contorted in all sorts of directions. The curved lens on the housing can be replaced with a flat lense, mainly to get better focus under water.

[awa355]

I picked up a Contours action video cam. New near, Made up a mount for the handle bars. It's not a HD version but produces a not bad picture. Only gripe is that not all the video sessions have recorded. Went for a run today, the return attempt was on the card, but the first recording , going over, did not record/save. Could it be the SD card?

[Grantman_]

That's not just limited to the go pro (did it with my drift). It's a battery/memory card problem and is sorted out by replacing the camera under warranty.

yes I'd read it was a replaceable under warranty issue also, but given the camera is now over 1 year old I'll be keeping it. It rarely happens and the 2 times it has happened it flicked itself back to normal picture before too long.

What i mean is if the camera is not straight you can rotate the lens so it is, as on my road bike it is attached to my wing mirror so not a straight shot.

Try flattening the battery then charge it up fully then repeat. this used to work with mine but you have to do it every time you use it.
I would still try and have a go at getting it replaced as it is a know problem.

[awa355]

Right, I have had a VholdR ( Contour) video camera for 6 days now. It is not a HD version, but I'm quite pleased with it. Have a homemade mount which works well. My problem is how to download/edit the clips on Microsoft Movie Maker so there is no wind noise on the clip. The Duct tape over the mic hole doesn't cut out the wind roar.

Is there a way to edit the sound out? The tutorials dont mention muteing recorded sound at all. I have tried to drag the volume control back to zero but the wind noise is still there. I tried to download a music track onto the clip but no success.

Or is there a simpler editing programme out there? I just want to cut unwanted pieces out and do away with the recorded wind noise. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Movie maker will mute clips. Click on the clip you've imported and dragged into in the timeline or storyline, now click "clip" up the top of the screen (beside file, edit etc) click audio - then click mute.

MovieMaker will split videos. Editing doesn't get much more basic. It just takes a bit of messing about to learn the program.

It's not the best for decent HD video as you can't get ride of annoying transition frames and general editing and render options are basic.

Hey that ain't at all bad!

Just to give you an insight into what I have available, compare your quality with this...


http://youtu.be/3AoIUeqqQvg

You can see the vertical distortion of the image at the start. You can see the camera struggle with the bright sky ahead and you can hear the atrocious sound quality.

If I mount the camera on the helmet, the sound is wind noise only and every head movement is exaggerated. You lose the vertical distortion though and you can kinda duck your head down a bit if the sky ahead is bright. Better in some ways and worse in others.

Now you know why I want a GoPro...

[awa355]

at least you can hear your exhaust note, Didn't know that a Gixxer could rev that high and stay under the speed limit.

My second vid had that 'waving' picture as well. Vid came out darker than It shows, the VholdR camera doesn't like overcast days very much. Picture was much better after going thru Moviemaker.

I've just entered the world of international commerce, got an e mail from Y tube saying that I may have uploaded commercial copyright. Must be the songs I added. Geez! competing with Peter Jackson, might be more pain than it's worth. I'll update to a better camera sometime, but for now, its a new fun thing to play with.

The problem here is that itunes music will be in .mp4 format which moviemaker doesn't recognise. I don't have the itunes program, but have read you can open itunes, click edit > preferences > click general > import settings. From the "import using" pop up menu choose "mp3 encoder" (I think it's there). Next go to your music library and select the music you want to change the format of and click "advanced" and choose "create .WAV versions". The .WAV versions will then be importable in Moviemaker. I'm flying blind a bit here as I don't use itunes.

Heres a link of the process http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1550

I've found how to convert the MP4 files to MP3. by right clicking on the track and the mp3 conversion option is listed. Will look at the format and suss that out.Thanks.

Lots of good evidence for the Levin police there. Pretty easy to ID you. Distinctive gloves, distinctive helmet (in profile pic on this site), bike make and model, light tint on screen, owner named Wayne who previously owned a blue 636. There is even a pic of you on here, sweet!

The stupidity of the riding is closely rivalled by the stupidity of posting it on a public forum.

The Darwin Awards were created to sort this sort of behaviour.

Worry not, stupidity will get you in the end.

Fuck you cunts should stop picking on the poor chap. Instead of whinging, how about doing something fuckin constructive? Like coming up with ways to help him disguise himself.

Kiwifruit, Do you have a helmet mounted camera and a frame pounted cam?

I've got three vids on You tube now and am now one of America's most wanted. My 3 vids are banned in the states and Germany. Apparently having, C&W, Roy Orbison, and CCR music dubbed into the tracks is a threat to the national security / economy. They haven't altered or pulled the clips yet.

Having a sound track on a video which is not used for income orientated / commercial purpose, and has been purchased legally, should be okay.

My clip with Credence Clearwater Revival didn't fully up load. America's youth are safe, they wont get corrupted by " midnight Special", "I heard it through the grapevine" booming out of the speakers, as some bikie goes cruising thru' the back roads. They will have to settle for Billy Vaughn and his orchestra riding thru' the Waipa.

And the recording Co's wont get bombarded with people wanting to buy cd's.
