Well I must said I wanted to do like wingman and post a nice video from my home palace to the "famous" Nyon St-Cergue" 8km up hill road with 50 turns.

But the result is realy poor...



So I decided after a night checking the web to order a GoPro HD, it's done I should received it the 22 of july

Hi Brutus

Looks like a very good ride lots of corners, its what the CB1 is built for.
Look forward to another video when you receive your GoPro HD.

All the best from Vid in Australia ...

Don't know what camera your using, but it seems the quality isn't that bad, it's the mount thats passing on to much vibration to the camera.

I use a DRIFT X170 camera on a RAM mount.... seems ok, but I suppose it depends on how fussy you are ?

The actual quality is better than the You tube clip.

I use a Panasonic DMC-TZ5, and you are right my mount was made of rubber tape... I choose the GoPro because it come with a lot of differant mount.

Your cam seem to be very similar to the Go Pro

I received the GoPro and it's just perfect, I have still problemes assembling the movie and with the quality of the upload.

Your editing software seems no different than Windows Movie Maker. Have you got that on your PC ?, most have.

It's just a matter of playing with the software until you get used to it...... Well that's how I did it.

As for the quality issues, I found it's much better to open your YouTube account and ask Youtube to upload it for you, rather than opening up the video, and sending it to Youtube. I don't know why though !

Good bit of footage. Any chance of taking a still shot of the camera mounted on the bike for that filming.

Gargy.

Hi Brutus

Good quality video, look like you were enjoying the corners
and giving plenty gas to the CB..
I noticed you have the TCX boots, am i right?
I have the same boots good quality stuff.

Thanks once again, youre lucky to have top roads in Swissland..

Hi Brutus, and thanks for both videos.
I agree with Gargoyle, the first camera quality was good
but the mounting was not firm enough.

the GoPro has 2 advantages, (1) has great mounting accessories and
(2) you have a setting to reduce wind noise (set it to Lo, not Hi)
this will make audio less sensitive and will only pick up engine sound

as for software, on my windows laptop I use Sony Vegas 8.0 and save files
in avi format, using DivX codec. However now I am using iMovie (on Macbook)
saving files in m4v format (recommended by youtube).

the road looks great! and you handle the bike well
look forward to more movies!

PS. you can use the GoPro to film under water as well
here is an idea of how it would look like
