vid from today's ride

yes, it's almost january, yes, it was 60 degrees and sunny.. this is why i love Arizona.

little vid i just got done with from our ride today... 10 bikes total... some were behind and there were some up ahead.. me and another guy got stuck behind some cars and by the time we got around them, there was just no catching the faster guys.

oh well, ride at your own pace

enjoy!

Nice vid. Could you tell me what kind of camcorder you are using. I am looking at purchasing one myself but need guidence about which recording format will handle the vibration. I am looking at an HD unit but don't know if a miniDV, hard-drive, or DVD media would be most appropriate.

it's actually just a little canon point and shoot camera.. the Powershot sd750.. awesome little camera, really small so it fits in my jacket pocket when not in use, and takes great still images as well. i have a 2GB memory card in mine, so i can get 20 minutes or so of video on it before i need to transfer to my computer.

to dampen some of the vibration just add a little rubber washer under the camera when you bolt it to the mount.

 

Very nice!

Cool to keep one eye on the tach. too ..... Like I'm actually riding <sigh>

 

Stay away from the DVD and miniDV formats unless you have a good mounting system. I sure with enough bracing you could use just about any camera but the flash drive camera would be the best. Get a cheap $100 unit at Target or eek: ) Wall-fart I mean Mart. :biggrin:
