Brilliant! Be sure to charge it up, do some test runs.

 

The velcro strap thing is promising, see if you could hook it up to your front brake reservoir (black box thing on the handlebar). From experience it's one of the easiest place to mount cameras on a street bike type handlebar.

 

Always good to reinforce the mount with cable ties (they are cheap & durable) as added security. Don't want to have things flying off bike when riding at highway speeds.

Will do, yeah I know since a couple days ago what the brake reservoir is, I've been digesting tons of articles about brakes, I'm looking into replacing my rear drum brake by a disc..

 

Cable ties FTW - MUSTAFA POWA !!!

Hey bro, gotten my camera today!

Mine giving me a short run through of how to use the video camera? The booklet english so poor I don't really get the red light meaning.

Anyway, in your setup, the camera is upside down? Need rotate the video when getting it into comp is it?

Charging my camera battery...cannot play around with it still.

 

Thanks in advance!

 

Yes it's upside down. You will need to rotate it. When you initialise the cam, click on M once, then play to record video.

 

Click on M twice to take photo. Click on M thrice to record sound only. When recording the blue light will flash.

Nabil:

 

Can arrange for some bollywood style cooking? Light refreshments will do, I'll provide the main course.

[Vashie]

Thanks guys!

 

Now got FYP headaches, when it's over, I shall try out the camera~

Haven't gotten the velcro or glue to secure the mount. I see the brake fluid box like not level, later video slant one side.

[Pandoras Kitten 3]

Yep, I filmed with the camera tilted to one side. Gives incredible sense of speed and ultra-scary cornering to the right LOL. But with some creative positioning you might be able to level the mount. Like.. cable tie to mirror.

Erm...I went to take a look at 3M stuff just now. The only velcro I saw is those white in colour and got a tab to remove the velcro when not needed. From the picture Running_Man posted, the velcro is black.

 

May I know where can I get those velcro?

Did a dry run with Nabil earlier in preparation for Saturday's ride; we conveniently shanghaied a P plate CBR150 to act as the "VIP" with Nabil navigating and me behind providing security.

 

Distance covered >70km, average speed 65-80 and no safety issues encountered. Except for some really fast pro cyclists around Changi that don't know how to look before dashing across traffic junctions.

 

No long and boring safety briefing between us - just get on the road and common sense defensive riding.

 

Planet Motor was also conveniently open until after 8pm today, allowing us to do some systems checks and interesting repairs. Last week's cornering workshop had me grinding down my brake pads to shiny dust

 

On the way back home we did a Phantom Knights style dispersal - running down the PIE and each bike automatically retires to the exit nearest to home as we pass them.

Indeed a great evening spent after my 1st day at work! PK and Kenny both enjoyed the time we had, and everything went so automatically and smoothly, no lagging behind no problems, just smooth flowing.

I'm still fiddling with the camera...the virtualdub and deshaker is hard to use.

After rotating and saving the video, it becomes laggy and hangs randomly through the playback.

Applying the deshaker makes the video have a lot of white and red lines.

 

Guess video editing is not my forte also.

[Pandoras Kitten 3]

Sim LIm Tower, level 3, a shop on the right when you exit the escalator. They sell electronics stuff, I think the name is AF something, lots of rolls of cables displayed, you can't miss it.

 

Mustafa Center has those black velcro too, 4th level, the sewing stuff after the car/bike stuff.

 

bro.. how much you got it for all?

 

 

The camera is USD $24.46 - free shipping.

I don't think you can, on dealextreme, there's a thread where apparently say it can't be turn off but I'm not sure if that's final.

Lutein, I wouldn't be able to ride it anyway, but can't wait to see (and hear!) it And I'm probably gonna ask you a few questions about fixing the camera on the jacket. I got the pouch, I did the whole velcro thing, but it was difficult to find the right place to put it on the jacket. And I was hoping to be able to just velcro it, but apparently, the camera is sort of leaning forward with gravity, and I end up filming my tank and speedo

 

I was thinking about holding it with a lanyard around my neck, that goes around the camera pouch too...

 

Anyway, I'll bring all that tomorrow, hopefully yall can help me figure it out.
