Tachyon Helmet Cams

[cheese]

I'm just uploading my footage from today. its unedited as I can't be bothered editing it. I'm pretty happy with the quality, just going to muck about with how I mount it cause as the factory one is a bit shit.

Less than half what you paid for the other thing.....

Can't wait to post up some clips of the boys blasting through the dirt

Cripes that sounds a bit technical but interesting....I look forward to that

let me know if you want the other bits-they are not much use to me

Sweet, briefly met yah last Saturday but we were off doing our bits.
Love tah have a gas with you about getting some high quality footage sometime. Shortly I'll be working on integrating a gyro and accelerometer which records accelleration and bike angles as text data onto an SD card. Running this insynch with a SD video cam means you can capture both video and bike data and feed it into a bike simulator. This can be replayed as you sit on the sim. Anyway I won't bore you with it here, next time we meet!

I will PM you about those other bits.

Yesterday I thought to try a different angle on the GoPro Wide. I wanted a front wheel and suspension work viewpoint so I mounted it on my front fork. After the first bump and little wheelie it wrenched off the mount then hung upside down videoing the engine and rear wheel. The angle shows good potential for cutaway footage so I may persue it with a firmer mount and vibration damping.

Every time i try something different I see to smash something so mostly stick with the helmet.

I used to mount my old camera on the radiator shroud but the shape is slightly different on the husky so that doesn't work
