GoPro mounting

[steve_t]

That is what I did with my contour HD, I find it's quite good and it doesn't look like I am missing a whole heap of peripheral

Also with a cam on the top of your helmet you have to be a bit careful with low hanging tree branches and shrubbery

Sweet. You know we all wanna see the crash footage

My camera wasn't running when I crashed.

However my mate's was and he was riding beside me watching me. He has uploaded his vid to facebook.

I have been having a tutu with mine. Stuck it on my hemlet but the footage was not particularly dynamic & I felt like a tellytubby. Used the sucker mount on the fairing but too much vibration came through the arm & excessive wind noise, stuck like buggery though & on Sunday I put one of the self adhesive mounts on the base of the screen above the headlight. No mudguard visible but excellent footage, very little vibration & by far & away the best sound, wind noise begins above 100kmh but all thumpy thumpy below that.

I downloaded the trial version of Sony vegas but I'm frightened of it, it seems to do an awful lot of stuff!

Well they do use it to edit movies with!

A few basics are:

Drag your video on to the video timeline. Pressing s will splice the video into parts where the current marker is.

Hold down Ctrl and drag the end of the video to speed up or slow down the video (if you don't hold Ctrl it either cuts the video short or repeats it).

To fade two clips together grab the little blue triange in the corners of the clip and drag them. Its good to have the clips overlay each other so they fade into each other and not fade to black first.

To add text right click on the text row in the timeline and select "insert text media".

There should be an "Upload to youtube" option under the project menu which seems to work fine and saves a bit of time.

That is very genelmunly of you, thank you.

I used the tutorial when I downloaded it & it made my ears bleed, just a case of getting into really.

Yeah it is all a bit daunting at first, but spending some time going through the interactive tutorials really helps. Once the basics are mastered, you can start messing about with the really cool stuff.

My first vid with the GoPro Hero HD, edited in Sony Vegas...

Just a warm up lap, I was a bit hung over, had arm pump, hadn't properly loosened up yet, was faster in the afternoon but camera memory was already full (and other 'convenient' excuses for my crap riding...)

yep, no excuses now...

Chest mounted GoPro 960. Clacking sound is the zipper of my body suit which is half undone to allow the unit to peek out. Next ride I'll wrap a cloth around the unit to act as a damper.

Finally managed to upload a clip. All sorts of strange noises....
Camera is mounted on the front of the fairing, smack bang in the middle.

Ok, so this is an offroad thread but I'll stick me beak in. I've just got a GoPro and have put a RAM mount on by clutch reservoir - not sure how practical that is on a dirt bike but it works for me.

Looks good to me. More food for thought.

I was oblivious to this being an off road thread, sorry!

Strange noises?
Looks and sounds good to me!

Make sure you use the Doohickey as the clicking noise comes from the mount. You can also put a bit of tape on the mount as well to ensure a tight fit.
