Title: HD drift cam
Post by: patrick on August 25, 2013, 04:55:55 PM
Today was my 1st time out on the bike since my op in June and it went well  :-)  It would have been sooner but its a heavy beast to wheel in and out of the garage .

An unhurried trip from home up to the Raven Cafe at Whitchurch and along wait for lunch.... the place was full of  :censored:  bikers!!

I managed to fasten the Drift camera onto the brake reservoir using the curved mount and cable ties but then adjusted the lens incorrectly so have what looks like good footage that needs to be rotated by 180 degrees!  DOH!!!

Pity the Harley spoils the shot!

Aren't cable ties good!

Patrick, great photos. Looking at the eggs I'd have wanted the full breakfast as compensation. Did you drop them or something walking to the table?  :grin:

You'll be able to spin the footage 180 degrees easily enough in Pinnacle.

The place was so busy and the delays so long i think the were chucking the food onto the plates.

New pc for editing is on order..... fast chip, 16 gig of ram, fast 2 gig video card etc etc......  and need to sort a reservoir ram mount (a la Deb) to get the cam mounted properly
