Filming my ride

[lutein]

Okay, I've given up on Vimeo. Have uploaded some of the clips here: http://www.youtube.com/user/lutein1

 

BTW the original videos are much clearer. The inevitable loss of video quality happened during uploading.

[JackOHJack]

nice move! we love ur videos anyway!

[scubasimon]

thank god you uploaded to youtube...i could not play much of the videos in vimeo cos it takes so long to even stream to me. sigh. anyway, its a great idea to do this. i gotta think about it as well.

heard from my friend that their company will be launching a mega-pixel HD video recorder soon.. think it comes with a mounting for bikes or car, like not a bad idea.. he showed me the picture quality, really very good.. thinking of getting that, cos' he zoom in on the car plate in front still very clear. Anyone else interested to find out more? I'll go ask him if you guys have any questions.

oh ya. adesmond2 you may be interested in this.. video directly stored in micro sd card. if i remember correctly price is about $350..

oooo... have to see the size of it first..

[tinklebellfearie]

resolution: 1280 x 1024, 640 x 480 @ 30FPS, Canon lens, dimension: 69 x 49 x 20 mm, weight 65g. But no screen, just the recording lens.. i try to load the pics he sent soon..

[scubasimon]

i always thought it isn't very safe to mount a full camcorder on the tank...won't it obstruct you when you are riding? that's why i am thinking of using a bullet camera that can be mounted on the handlebar or something...

[BigDogs]

For those who want to use their P&S digicams to film their rides, can consider this cheap method of mounting your cams onto the bike itself, if you have a suitable mounting point on your handlebar.

Enjoy!

[Silent Hunter]

Quite ok lah, those situations, accidents can avoid easily one.

You should see mine.... ....

 

So near, the only thing the camera was recording was the number plate of the car that cut into my lane during a 90 degree turn, and nothing else...

So many ownage moments! :lol:

 

Now, i wonder if all the cars start placing video cams to capture bikes doing the wrong things, which group will actually have more "ownage" moments?

A very good idea to DIY. The only issue that I have is water, still wondering how to cover the camera from the wet.

nice one.. but i wonder is there any other ways to record a ride other den using cameras? Maybe, HP? or something to install on our bike like those $30 camera and we connect the wiring to some device and install memory card? those can put on your bike permanently..

[JackOHJack]

I used my HP, but the video resolution sux - 176x144 tailgate lorry also cannot see plate no.

 

higher end HP can, their batteries also better and nowadays lots of phones come with 4GB and above cards, not to mention some slimmer phones are 100g light!

 

So now im waiting for a few nokia HP to be launched in SG, their video resolution is 640x480, i hope it'll be clear enuff so it'll be more convenient for me.

 

Meanwhile, Lutein sis, feed us with the videos! It's an inspiration to know there is many like minded riders ard!

[luvhurts]

hi, i wonder if it's possible to use HP holder for cars to install on bike and try to film while riding/on the video and slot into the HP holder.. will try and see if the inmages works..

[JackOHJack]

yeah! share share!
