AOW Posted May 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 nice vid. That suction cup mount has better suction than a $200/hr hooker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinjaNick Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Amazing quality AOW. Yours would've been better if it was sunny out like AOW's was fusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReconRat Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Ok, mine is the older 3Mpixel GPro. It shakes. The newer 5Mpixel Go Pro apparently has some anti-shake circuitry in it. With some other improvements also. And the new one is available either wide angle or regular. The anti-shake is probably worth going out and getting another one.Is the wide angle better? I'm not sure. Seems like a bit too much distortion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fusion Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 I don't know for certain if wide angle or regular is better and nearly ever video on their site is wide angle. Wide angle is definitely used a great deal when shooting a lot of action and motor sports.Personally I prefer the wide angle for this sort of thing at 170 degrees as opposed to the normal which is only 54 degree angle of view. I think the normal would be almost be too restrictive for a fixed point camera for this sort of thing, not to mention the proximity of some of the action around the rider requiring a wider field of view.I've been looking to see if I can find any decent normal angle footage for this camera, but everything so far looks like it was shot with the wide.I did notice on their site that they are releasing a software update that will support a 4GB SDHC card which is pretty cool.

exSRAaron Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 I saw a few videos of the regular view back when i was researching cam's and the wide view was definitely nicer and perfect for most of the applications, other than for a little bit of distortion.

exSRAaron Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 (edited) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35-Vr_PRo2sThere's the first video i did with my GoPro, its mounted poorly and very close to my booty (its on my NSR50). And i had the sound settings mixed up quality sucks bcuz of youtube, but you get the idea! Edited May 28, 2009 by exSRAaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AOW Posted May 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 I've been thinking about doing a helmet mount or front fender, but that makes it a bit more difficult to use and adjust on the fly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fusion Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 I was looking at my bike last night and if I have the clearance I'm going to try and mount one right under the front cowl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwiztedRabbit Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 i would love to do that but would be worried about the clearance when braking w/ suspension flex... would be a sweet spot.. i will mount mine on one of the sides because i have a dark smoke screen and cant hardly see through it should work fine!

EagleCock Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 We need vid file so I can browse this winter and remember what it's like to ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fusion Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 That's exactly what I'm worried about. I'm going to play around with it a bit tonight to see if there's enough room. Other wise I'm going to try and find another spot or two that I can use the suction cup on. There's very few places on it that I'm willing to use the 3M tape clips on. I am going to put one on the front of the car though I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fusion Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 So I took advantage of the CBRs flatface and stuck the suction cup to the front and used an additional piece to turn it the correct direction. Definitely too bumpy like that but I really like the perspective. I'm considering sticking one of the bases to the lower portion of my ZeroGravity windscreen and seeing how that works. I'm not sure how I feel about having that stuck there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
