Spring Bash Video from GoPro Hero

[skydivr]

Here we go, my first Youtube video. Video from Thursday. Riders: Me (skydivr), Tufbusa, BrendanP (Aquaman) with Busasmom as pillion; Leo.

Created with Windows Movie Maker (in autocreate mode - worked pretty well!). Camera mounted on exhaust bolt (with RAM mount). Working on other mounting locations now.

Somewhere in this ride is where Leo bought it. Have about 3 more to convert/upload and post. GoPro Hero did a great job!

Enjoy!

well the image quality is good... a bit heavy on the transitions IMO.. I also have a thing about hearing just the motor.. not a big music video fan

I think overall it is a good view Nice job

[Aquaman]

But I couldnt really see me touching down... You were getting that knee down bro!

hey do they have a lens that is a bit less wide angle?

Randy, the original GoPro Hero camera came with just a 55 degree lens.

Those are still available via the PashnitMoto site, but the new Motorsports Wide version outsells the old one 2 to 1. However, the fisheye is not for everybody.

Great job Keith!

Keith, have you thought of bolting two small ball mounts to each bar ends & putting a short RAM arm there?

same camera we use on our bikes for my video's i posted up, if you mount camera sideways or even upside down you can use movie maker to rotate them...also after movie maker creats the clips you can select all of them and click combine to put it back to one big video with no clips...works best that way....

Hey, it was quick and easy (I'm at work!) and I wanted to get something up. Once I've played around with this some I'll get better at it.

I got close, but never touched my knee (frustrating!) I keep yelling at the video when I watch it

Pashnit, that is a GREAT idea (so if these are on your site, you may have an order soon. One would be enough); I've also again working on mounting a ball off the slider mount. That would be enough to get some different angles and mix it up...

Bogus, yes as Pash says they make a one that's not so wide...I think this one is fine it's just the mounting location could be better. Movie maker edits the clips to match the song length...like I said I've got to work on that some.

djsin, I could have done that, but it would be one long video (hard to upload) and alot of it would have been boring. I was really impressed with how movie maker put it together (for software, not bad)....

off to a good start... I have not even tried video yet... so many choices on camera setups I just gave up until things settled a bit and one camera came out in the lead... the GoPro seems to be making great moves..

you can get them right from the manufacturer

this one has all of the mounts that comes with and a 2 gb sd card

I paid 170 for mine with no sd card...

Keith, here are some ideas from the last ride. The experimentation continues.

Helmet mount, however, added in pieces from the Hero Expansion kit to get the camera further away from the helmet. Also tried it upside down. That didn't work as it kept bumping against my shoulder.

Gives you a photo like this when you use the photo timer setting

That's a great shot Pashnit. If all that is holding it on is that little sticky mount, I'd be afraid I'd knock it off for sure.

Pashnit sells same for little better price, includes all mounts and SD card...and he's a sponsor to boot!

The wide angle is called a fish eye , no really

Cool video skydivr

The double sided sticky tape they've got these day is impressive stuff. The kit comes with several of those mounts. Some flat, some curved. Oddly enough, I couldn't put a mount on the very top of my helmet because the HJC carbon fiber isn't round, but series of ridges. So on the side it went. I haven't used those on the bike though. Don't want to stick them to the plastic.

You mentioned the frame sliders. Not sure if this idea is transferrable but here's how I worked with the engine frame bolt. Originally, just had a single ball mount off that bolt, but the RAM mounts can only take so much torsional or rotational stress with regards to the weight of the flexible arm. So bottom one for forward facing shots. Top one for looking up or back.
