GOPro Tryout

[alans1100]

I set the time lapse function for a shot every 5 seconds and will give that a tryout sometime over the weekend; hopefully.

I have been thinking of getting the Sena http://www.prestigecom.net.au/Sena-PRISM-Pack-Bluetooth-Motorcycle-Action-Camera as it is controllable via their Bluetooth headset which I already have . . . Anyone bought one?

Tske a look at the Sena 10C to be launched this year.

I learnt something about my camera over the last weekend. I set the cam for time lapse the night before a ride to Port Pirie and turned the camera off. When it came time to leave I turned the cam on in readiness to start recording a little way into the trip and the same for the return trip. Before I transferred the files to the PC I noticed that the 32 GB card was almost full but didn't think much of it until I reviewed what we had taken. It turns out I didn't have time lapse but nearly two hours video of most of out riding that day. So turning the camera off after setting for a function cancels it and defaults back to the video at what ever setting you set.

For the sake of convenience I reset for time lapse a couple days ago did my usual ride down to the supermarket. The seven minute return ride at 1 shot every five seconds played back in about three seconds but the playback speed can be adjusted and overall it's now about 1.5 minutes. A slow start as I needed to take the trailer off, Someone forgot to take the trailer off after the Sunday's ride (we went fishing).

It's amazing what's possible with cameras these days, particularly when I think back to my younger days when the only cameras available were Box Brownie's!

My Drift Ghost has been getting plenty of use recently as a dash cam in my car, caught a couple of bikes passing me and a few other vehicles in front of me as well, after crossing double lines..........ha!.......we probably all cheat a little bit if we get caught behind a couple of slow vehicles, which wasn't the case yesterday though !!! lol

I remember the box brownie from when I was a kid as mum & dad had one.

I can still remember how to put the roll of film in the back of the Box Brownie, and I certainly remember what the film cartridges looked like, big and bulky!

Peterborough sure looks like a hive of activity!

Good clear pix.  Seems like a useful location for the camera.

It has it's moments; especially pension day.

With the view of getting different locations to take video on the bike I did a tryout with the cam mounted above the tail light. I just need to improve the vibration and reduce the top case vibrating noise but it can't be helped with the state of the roads in town.

Tomorrow I'll see how it goes with the cam mounted under the headlight
