Helmet-mounted digital video camera?

**Akzle** · 5th March 2014, 14:52

videoing everything is the modern day equivalent of your relatives having the snaps from their holiday cruise printed as slides.
And you, not giving a fuck, being subjected to them,
so you try and avoid them, not go over. But ineviatably you do in the end,
maybe at christmas or some shit, and youre hardly in the fucking door and they come at you with 'oh you havent seen our holiday snaps!'
while the rest of your family glares at you, because they didnt hold out as long in the first place, and now have to sit through them AGAIN for your supposed benefit,
because if they make excuses now, theyll miss out on ham.
And those fat fucks love ham.
So you sit through it, and they sit through it. And in the end everyone gets ham.
And then guess what, your rich aunty bought your uncle a video camera! He's keen to try it out but the dumb bitch didnt charge it up first, so you have to sit around for 3 hours until its charged, by which time grandpa has gotten into the rumballs and grans gone for a valium and a nap, the aunties are 70% alcopopped,
and youre left with a drunk grampa and your weird uncles, one with a video camera, they offer you rum and cola... suddenly all your brothers, cousins are out in the yard, and youre in the spare room, and the video camera is on the bookshelf, and youre a bit stoned off the rum...

Anyway. The moral of the story is that cunts who video everyshit are assholes.

I got a camshot action camera, p.o.s cos it is way too narrow angle, but you've already said you're considering that part so you're doing better than I did.

Also this....

akzle..its great that you care so much about this thread as evidenced by your outpouring tirade. I think it's funny. You must burn off a lot of calories in anger. Or is it just your "fix" Do you go looking for stuff to be angry about ? You only have a finite number of heartbeats..why waste them? (Rhetorical questions..not wanting a reply !)

I've upped my prescription, because the drugs told me to, there will be a period of, err, adjustment.

they say a little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing. You certainly have little!
(watch out for doors)

'tis true. I know one thing: that I know nothing.
Everything I know about you could be written in 4 lines.

Thanks for the heads up on doors.

And ironic, about the 4 lines, being that was what i had for smoko.
You should come over for a beersies and see if i live up to my 4 lines, id hate to be a disappointment.

(open your mind to the cosmos and you will know everything. But i think it will be cloudy tonight.)

Hehehe - great post akzle.

I have a helmet mounted camera and I'd agree that most of what I video on the bike is dead fucking boring. So much so that I don't bother posting them for public consumption. Any I do post I keep private for the likes of my biker brother in the sarf island who likes to watch road loony riding. Not that I do any of that of course...

. It's other road loonies I show him.

Incidentally, I think the only arseholes are those that make us watch what they have videoed.

On the thousandth day youll probably find me kicking you in the minge and smashing your camera..

NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOU, IF THEY DID, THEY WOULD COME AND SEE YOU. NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOUR COMMUTE OR WHY YOURE SO BUTTHURT BY A CAGER DOING DUMB SHIT. EVEN WHEN DOING EPIC SHIT, GUESS WHAT, NO ONE GIVES A FUCK.

Except that it would be good to film stupid cagers doing stupid shit, so the video can then be put on the internets so everyone can see what a fuckwit some drivers are. It's also good evidence to show the cops if need be.

while the others are engaging in their side show, I wanted to say I have a Sony Action Cam and find it pretty good. Have tried it on the helmet (must be side mounted, it cant go on the chin bar, handlebars and a couple of other places on the bike.
Quality of the video is great, not the same aftermarket support with gadgets as GoPro but enough to keep most happy. Trademe has some ok deals on them.
