Filming my ride

[Zhi Ming]

Hey ppl , my friend recommend me another phone last night , the Nokia 5800 Xpress Music ! , singtel's promo now is $0 for 2 year iOnePlus plan !

 

As its more of a music phone there are some differences:

Same Carl Zeiss optics but its 3.15 megapixel camera instead of 5MP (N85)

However , video is still VGA @ 30fps !! Refer to the link below for the detailed review + video samples. Scroll to the bottom of the page.

Video 1 and 2 are taken on the road so more applicable for us

http://www.mobile-review.com/review/nokia-5800-2-en.shtml

 

I just got 1 from the hello! shop at AMK hub lol , lazy to go to singtel christmas fair at Suntec...but only 1 colour , black/silver.

 

The N85 is slightly better la , but @ $198 , i dont think its worth it...better to save the money and go for the creative HD next time

this one not bad wor, coz solves the battery prob, since dez a cigarette socket to charge while on the go, good for touring etc. and no need manual delete coz auto looped recording.

 

BUT, if water proof will be better?

 

Have a look see of what I did with my friend, shot with the Go Pro helmet cam...

[lacrimosae]

Yes, Streamcast Asia. They selling at S$530 apiece. But if we order online can get it for US$299 (S$420), shipping is US$25 (S$35). Assuming we have more than 5 orders, we'll pay about S$430 each. Still can save about a hundred bucks? I think its ok...

 

Unless you prefer to pay S$100 more to get it on the spot rather than wait 7-9 days...

[èèæ]

Wow this is a really innovative idea..

 

and I think other than just filming for safety purposes, has any of you tried for leisure?

 

i saw a video once on youtube that guy mounted a camera at his pillion seat over his head.. and he shot pictures at intervals of maybe around 20 seconds over a duration of a few days.. then he put all the pictures together and made a video.. can see the sun setting and rising as he travel across city landscapes forests and deserts..

 

was wondering if the vado could do that.. auto take picture at interval of 30 secs maybe..

I'm not sure, but some photos on the website shows the camera mounted on the helmet with a strong industrial double sided tape.

 

The camera also comes in another form, the GoPro HD Helmet Hero, with helmet harness and strap for more secure mounting. Link below:

The taxi company have called me up and said that disciplinary action is taken on the driver. Well i guess i should let live.
