Ooh Red , very nice,,

next you got to learn how to use Windows movie maker, it is actually very good, cut out the orrible bits,,save the good bits, join them up together afterwards,add music,,
Also you can take any single frame out of a film to make a digital photo,as that is all the film is,lots of digital photos.

Using the handlebar clamp Red, mounted on my Renthal brace...the brace was too thin so i sliced open an old radiator hose, put it over the brace then clamped on to the brace.steady as a rock and the rad hose provides some more dampening.

thats going to take me a while to master the editing :rolleyes like the idea of being able to take stills from the footage Wink

....handlebar clamp is an extra and not included with the camera,i have the stick on mounts but not sure if they can be trusted :\ .....i`ll have a search on the bay and see what i can find Wink

....could try making my own.... Big Grin

My clamp only works because of my lack of fairing & even then we are still subjected to the clocks and bit of fairing.not sure how many bikes it would actually be any good on because the parts of the bars that stick out enough passed the fairing are cluttered with controls.Maybe a handlebar mounted rear view mirror, modified with the mirror end taken off & maybe a bit of bendy bendy would make for a nice elevated mounting point for the clamp that wouldnt foul the fairing :think

Re: drift camera - red98 - 08-10-13

mmmmm...need to give this some thought......thinking of mounting to bottom of forks to start with,so going to need a larger version of your handlebar mount,i`ve seen something that might do at work somewhere ( i work in a prototype workshop ) just need to remember where :rolleyes ...also have a closer look at the bike Wink

,looking for something different,something new Smile

...i have a helmet mount that uses a strap,might be able to do something with that Smile

Re: drift camera - nick crisp - 11-10-13

Just to demonstrate to red98 that not only are red bikes slow, but so are certain of their owners Wink

Jeez Paul, how could you let a techno-dimwit like me beat you to it?!! :lol
This vid is too long, so most of you won't be in the least bit interested, but that's ok by me. And the music doesn't really fit it either.
So here is my video debut; the Chipping Norton to Charlbury road on the edge of the Cotswolds, my favourite little local lane, still a bit gravelly but good fun. I am told that this is where one J. Clarkson lives, but you don't get into "top gear" much on this road! :car

nice one nick......got a lot of catching up to do now :\ not even made a mounting bracket yet :o .....oh just remembered,i need a micro sd aswell :\ ........is you cam mounted on the rad cowling ?

Re: drift camera - nick crisp - 11-10-13

No Paul, on the left hand crash bung. A bit of the Velcro strap that came with it, and a strip cut off of one of those sticky "blanket" things that you use to protect your paint from luggage. The strap with elasticated loops came with the camera too. I promise you, that set up does not move a millimetre once on, unless you undo the Velcro strap.

Yeah, you can't go too nuts on this road, it's a real point and squirt job mostly. Some of those bends are really tight, and there's still a bit of gravel around near the kerbs and in the centre of each lane. It's also quite a bit up-and-down in places. But I just enjoy it, and am slowly learning it. Glad you like the music, I thought it doesn't really fit the vid, but what the hell, it's Stevie innit!! :lol

Re: drift camera - noggythenog - 11-10-13

Nice vid Nick & cool tunes...congrats on being yet another member to get a vid up before Red :b

Re: drift camera - slimwilly - 12-10-13

That seems to have worked well, nice one. and quality is good too.

You can now start playing with clips,cutting and adding, makes it interesting.

Stevies music,wow,cowboy or what?

Driving down the freeway at just a' cruising power

Re: drift camera - red98 - 20-10-13

got the camera mounted at last.....cut a length of box tubing and cut a couple of slots in each end to mount on the front lower engine mount.....bored a couple of holes to bolt the camera clip to the bracket,it has a self adhesive pad but went the belt and braces route,mounted bracket to frame and the camera just slots in and out using a couple of spring clips......just need to paint the bracket and fit a couple of end caps...........

Re: drift camera - nick crisp - 20-10-13

Nice one Paul, got there at last! :lol

Used it in anger yet?

I think yours will be better quality pics than mine, as Slimwilly's is, and that's basically the same but later HD model. I'm not too concerned right now, but have a few ideas for next year, so may have to upgrade! :rolleyes
