Filming my ride

[Vashie]

Hmm...I'm considering securing it to one of my rear view mirror.

Anyway...I went to take a look at microSD cards. Seen Sandisk with class 2, kingston with class 4...but I didn't see any class 6 microSD. Which brand has class 6 microSD?

How to mount strange looking objects to mirror - easy, use the right hand side mirror like nabil, with the brake fluid reservoir as a stable base.

 

If item is too big to cable tie, wrap a pair of cable ties on the camera then cable tie that harness onto the mirror. Just imagine how the Olympic logo fits together.

 

this sat I am going filming with kaylan

 

Due to a security breach I may not be interested in hosting the weekend shoot, and do spell my name correctly.

Class 4 good enough. Anything higher is negligible for your cam.

Unless it's one of those insane 60fps, full HD capable action cams.... which are expensive. It's too good for Phantom riding, trust me lol.

2. Left box; the RC aircraft camera can be cable tied to the top handle of the box giving a view like this:

Awesome! Really digging the footage angle!

[Pandoras Kitten 3]

Hehe glad you like; it's my old RC camera. Need to hook it up to bike's electrical supply to continue using it (my next DIY project).

 

My bad reviews for LI-PO battery cameras are from this device. Keeps losing charge as you use, lol.

[QuaXum]

woodlands ave 2 ah the footage? aha.

[Silent Hunter]

Yap, woodlands going SLE towards CTE.

Loved the box-camera footage Kalyan ! and even if all my self-concious slash don't-be-a-nerd bones screamed at me not to say it, I couldn't help but let a "Owwwwwned" escape my lips when I saw the traffic light sequence :lol:

[Pandoras Kitten 3]

LOL

 

Someone might pop by and point a finger at my lane change from 1 to 3 - that was due to my wanting to "keep to the middle lane" and slow down after clearing the grey Lancer.

 

The silver car also went to the middle lane right before the junction without signaling forcing me to continue going left, going right to avoid the slow biker on the left and OH DEAR another bike in my way and brake before the junction. (Say this paragraph like Jeremy Clarkson!)

 

Thus moto-camera lesson 101: Things not shown on screen unknowingly draw negative criticism, and things appear way closer (and faster moving) than they really are IRL.

Wow Kalyan...I didn't know clutch can be released that fast!

I should try next time...have always been scared of throwing clutch.

Good Afternoon Peeps, kinda quite haha

"Cap'n Carmen's Revenge" Day filming with Nabil and Mr Soh - 2pm - 9pm 31/7/10.

 

Covered lots and lots of kms (200+?) on both 2 wheels and 4 wheels, 8 hours + of footage. Those who have me on facebook can see the cute pics while I get our very own Top Gear Singapore (kopitiam edition) sorted out; Thanks Nabil, very professional participation!

My wierd DIY tuning is best used by accelerating through all the gears as fast as humanly possible. All the torque is concentrated on the low end, making for a very comfortable cruising bike. (I rarely go above 90kph but the key to me is acceleration!)

eh kalyan, if you don't mind, share with us how you gonna do it.

 

i am interested as well but i am considering the muvi veho for its extreme small size, so i can just leave it somewhere on the bike and not have to constantly remove it for charging. Just connect it to bike battery.

 

start up= record, engine off= recording off. auto override oldest memory.

 

does it work that simply though?

12V DIY socket -> USB port -> camera

 

Either I make the camera accept the 5V supply or I solder connections directly on it. This radio controlled aircraft camera does have solder points for an external supply in addition to the option of USB powered. Typical German efficiency.

 

Here's another addition to Nabil's extensive portfolio of bike filming.

We have a van video too but it's a bike forum so..

[nabil15]

My camera is starting to give problems thus the quality may not be as excellent as a brand new camera (:

Kalyan, thanks for all the great vids.

 

I'd love to learn a thing or two from you about DIYing on electonics...

 

Nabil, keep shooting! Loving those videos.

Thanks alot bro, will do (:

 

I look forward to seeing more or our brothers and sisters here riding bikes, share their videos, we can then comment on how the other vehicles drive on the roads and learn more (god-willing)

 

Takecare and always ride safe!

Remember waiting 1 minute more, may just save your live bro/sis (:

[nabil15]

Just a small perspective of my own, whenever you get that sudden feeling of adrenaline which makes you want speed up, or overtake aggresively, or cut someone because he cut you sharply, remember of your LOVED ones straight away, it definitely cools you down and you would ease that throttle and back out to the left lane and go easy.

 

Just my view when I ride :-) hope it helps. Every time I see a bike accident my heart sinks honestly! Pls pls ride safely

these roads are nice to play on, but to the new guys reading, pls relac k, dun too hiong..

 

i'll strongly advise to read the situation carefully, sometimes the traffic does not allow for us to "bank as we want". Eng Neo road for instance, may get muddy/ sandy due to the construction site entrance. Lim Chu Kang area also has some trucks movement so dun be surprised to find debris along the corner.. if u cant see pass the corner, S L O W D O W N.

 

nice plate no.

 

Thanks alot bro, will do (:

yeah, we'll love more riders taking videos as they ride, create more presence!

 

 

 

 

 

@nabil and kalyan: can i just add a lil suggestion? to wear some/ if not more protective gears (gloves/ ff for a start? armor?) At least that'll open the eyes of new riders to safety apparels.

[ORen]

+1 for the protective gear !

What are the first two roads on the latest video ? Looks really nice to 1.practice corners and turns (I suck at them big time), and 2.enjoy a nice ride

Excellent video, unbeatable soundtrack..

You want to come riding with us next day? Let us know when you may be free, we could help you with the DIY mounting for the camera and we could bring you to those great roads.

 

The two roads you asked about are, South Buona Vista Road and Neo Tiew Road (:

Hi bros.. part 1 finally here..
