GoPro Time lapse

[Marcus]

Finally worked out how you guys did it...

Here's me attempt. Photo every 30 seconds, I think I may need to shorten it to 10 Seconds to get a more fluid look

Cool - they are fun to muck around with aren't they!!

I did one of my 30 minute journey to work in the city taking a still every second. When played back at 30 fps it looks awesome!!

Will see if I can find it...

Yes please, I feel sick now. Nice, though.

So Marcus, how did you do it?  I have been using WindowsLiveMovieMaker as my editor.

I use a mac, but it should be similar for PC. Quicktime 7 player pro  (which you can get for PC) will combine all the images into a movie then export to quicktime movie and import into video editor.

Ok Marcus.

How is it mounted? Why did it get fuzzy with bugs.

Love the music you use on your videos. More, more!

It's mounted at the front of my bike just below the windscreen.

The problem with the GoPro is it fogs up, very easily. Because there is no ventilation inside the waterproof casing the slightest change in outside temp...

I've ordered some defoging strips which "should" absorb the moisture and solve this problem (which are pretty much the same as beer coasters cut into strips...)



Going to run another test on the RTE this weekend

[Malcolm6112]

you could try going to kamrt, big w and in the shoe section are the absorbent bags, which they pack with the shoes, which in turn are normally thrown out.
Would they be small enough?

That is so true, especially up here in Qld.

I never have that issue on my ride home from work (I use mine every day on my commute) because the camera is sealed in an air conditioned environment.

When I leave from home is when I get the fogging and it is morning/cooler outside, so I usually put the case under the air con or in the fridge and then seal it. This seems to work most of the time.

I now also carry both the open and the sealed backs and only ever use the sealed back when it is seriously raining, allowing a llitle ventialtion to limit the fogging.

Great tip. I have a vented case, but was worried about water getting in on light rain

Inspired by your video posted of your ride.

Here is a Sunset with Storm that I filmed with a GoPro Hero 2.

Time lapse set to every 10 seconds, filmed for about 1 Hour taking 380 pictures.
Playback is set to show each picture for 0.10 seconds.
