- May 12, 2013, 18:57:50 PMHere we go again. https://picasaweb.google.com/109550952480484427597/GoProVideoClips#5877237596560161042
I'm still experimenting, so I get it right by the time I get to Drift-In...This time, a different combination of mounts and high up on the center of the windshield. Video resolution changed from 1080 TO 720. Now, just have to do something about the click noise...I'm running the open back on the housing, so I'll try the solid one next...All this testing has one really good side effect. I get to ride to test the setup! The click noise is NOT there when I have the camera helmet mounted......

- May 11, 2013, 17:02:44 PM I took the W out for some exercise today. I mounted the camera on the right turn signal. You can see the edge of the bikini fairing in the picture. The last time I tried to do video with this bike, the jello effect was terrible. This time it's quite a bit better. The 360 deg parallel twin has very different vibration characteristics than a V-2. I'm trying a different configuration tomorrow. Since I started this thread, we have had 80+ deg. temps. and frost warnings...rain, and today 45 mph winds, 50 deg. and ice pellets

- May 10, 2013, 20:24:11 PMThat is really cool. The turning spokes make a pretty cool visual effect. The perspective angle is great too. If you could only get the full curve on the drifter fender... be even cooler. But it's way cool even without the full fender. I like it. If I had a facebook page (which I don'), I'd like it on facebook.

- May 10, 2013, 18:59:09 PMVideo and sound is almost as good as being there again...I'm pretty satisfied with the quality, now. I'm taking out the W tomorrow with the camera mounted on the turn signal..just want to get rid of the jello effect. I have a helmet mount, and that's clear, but the idea of the bike POV intrigues me...https://picasaweb.google.com/109550952480484427597/GoProVideoClips#5818273500335631026
Good example of jello.......
If I get enough video, I'll be busy all next winter editing. 1.85 Gb=17 minutes at this resolution. I have a 32 Gb card in the camera.

Friction tape is readily available here DC......

- May 10, 2013, 17:44:38 PM This is the same old road, but the lower camera mount makes the trip a bit different. I got stuck behind a Honda, so I could only go as fast as it went...probably no faster that about 30, or so....

- May 09, 2013, 12:56:20 PMOH Troll my dissapointment is so high right now.....friction tape....
QuoteFRICTION TAPE is used on the blade and handle of a HOCKEY STICK........any kid from the snow belt knows that ....man......handle of a baseball bat (or in John Hopkins case, Cricket bat...maybe Ratman's too)...not electrical tape.
Ok keep your BBB tires then.....personally it gives a nice veiw of the road, higher would give a nice perspective but were can you mount it higher unless you fabricate something......

- May 09, 2013, 12:22:00 PMMichelin doesn't make a white wall..I have enough trouble keeping the paint clean (except when it rains), so no WW for me! Here's a shot of where I wound up putting it. I had really wanted it higher up for more of a rider perspective, but this will do...for the time being. I wrapped the bar with friction tape first, to keep the mount from slipping. Before you ask...friction tape, that old fashioned black fabric stuff kids would wrap around the handle of a baseball bat (or in John Hopkins case, Cricket bat...maybe Ratman's too)...not electrical tape.
