Easy rearview camera

[fallenarch]

I got a Sony Action CAM because a guy was selling it new in a box for $80. I open it up and notice that it can send the video to a phone. This would be an easy rear view camera setup. I was planning to put a LG 7 tablet on the Busa running Ulysse Speedometer on it with the rear view in the background. I'll post pictures if i ever get around to setting it up.

Can't wait 2 see this setup you've been talking about!

I've been running a rear view camera on my busa 4 a few years now and while it's not a substitute 4 rear view mirrors used in conjunction with them allows me 2 have eyes on 360 degrees of my surroundings @ all times. It also allows me 2 see guys headlights fade off into the distance while I'm in full tuck

Do elaborate. Are you planning on using it in conjunction with the gauges or as a standalone?

Watch this video and you will see that it has some interesting things a typical speedo doesn't have. It also has a HUD option that reverses the display so it will reflect on the windshield and maybe windscreen (haven't tried it).

I personally can't read the stock speedo. 60 mph is less than 1/4 of the dial. I usually look at the GPS for bike speed anyway, this is much better. Also the LG 7 tablet's screen is about twice the size of the ZUMO 660, so that is cool too. I'm sort of just thinking out loud but I'm getting close to a test. Right now finding a good waterproof case for the LG is the holdup and crappy weather too.

Edit: Have not tried the Sony Action camera linked to the LG tablet. If that works I can have music, nav, speedo, and rear view on one screen. Also I only need one wire for power - everything else is Bluetooth into the Sena headset (I hope).

Edit 2: I also have internet access right on the bike too. So when I have to google some big mouth Kawasaki rider I can bust him right there at the gas station.

Hey Fallen go 2 this website and scroll down to the Ram Air & Tank cover section. The very bottom 1 called Big Bike tank cover BTA 206 might be what your looking for or @ least give you a platform to start with as far as mounting a radar or tablet on the fuel tank

That's actually not too far off. But I would need a little more space.

Well yeah I figured you'd need a little more on account of you wanting a tablet mounted vs a speedo but that concept should help you get the ball rolling. I imagine a good bodywork guy would be able 2 tweak it. Probably be cheaper and less time consuming 2 have something 2 start brainstorming with vs R&D from the ground up

Yes I sent them an email. If they could bring it all the way back to the gas cap that would work. Maybe they can mold on from what they have.

very cool, I have been looking for something like this. Will it work on an IPhone? I will be watching this one to see how it turns out.

 

[fallenarch]

Yes I think there is something very similar for the Iphone as far as the speedometer. The Sony Action cam will link to an IPhone too.

Hopefully this old thread bump will post some results.

I think I abandoned this because the HUD stuff that displays on the visor started to show up. Still waiting for a good one though!
