This has probably all been covered but: The GoPR is great and the stick on baseplate brackets are superb; secure on most clean surfaces yet removable with a hair dryer.

I have one( baseplate) on the side of my  Arai Phil Read rep which requires an extension piece to get the camera level. Mostly however, I have it mounted on the headlight of the K12 which was approved by the MOT man. (Probably not the best place on the GTR)


I have a bracket stuck on the front of the car dash and have also stuck them to hire cars' and friend's dash boards because a few minutes with the hair dryer and they are removed without trace of residue.

It was sods law that I did not have it mounted on " Black Wednesday".    The extension piece for the Phil Read has gone walkabout, and I was out of sticky baseplate brackets. I usually don't go anywhere in car or on m'bike without it, though  mostly of course, I simply delete all because nothing of great interest has been captured.

For touring, the battery extension backpack and a 32Gig card are very useful.

By the bye, have you seen that London  bloke on u tube who seems to look for trouble with his GoPro and, every time, shouts "F..k yer mum" repeatedly at his antagonist.

Don't you sometimes feel ashamed when pratts let down the side. But that's probably been well covered here also.

I used my Hero 2 for the first time on a bike last week on a Donington Park trackday. You are right Nok, yet again the camera took astonishing footage and the adhesive baseplates were perfectly secure, even on the 145mph Dunlop straight.

I don't think I have nailed the mounting yet though, my videos (example below for anyone interested) were pretty shaky and this was mounted on the bottom of the windscreen, the most rigid part I could find. I think I need to triangulate the camera to a couple of other mounting points too. I'd be interested to hear if others have experienced, and overcome, the slight shakiness.

Anyway, off-topic, these GoPros are truly magnificent.

Braccio reggi GO-PRO troppo lungo,dal filmato si vede il braccio è composto in 2 pezzi,questo più essere la causa del tremolio lieve.

Se posti una foto del sostegno della GO-PRO posso sicuramente aiutarti.





GO PRO-holder arm too long, the movie you see the arm is made in 2 pieces, this most be the cause of the flickering light.

If you post a photo of the support of the GO-PRO, I can definitely help.

is that a rider on his/her arse at 8mins 38 seconds

Oh BTW for Go Pro follow Valerios advice, strong mount (suction cup mount is good) and short extention arm, this will reduce vibration

Head light mounting works really well

How do you get the throttle / brake / g force / gps tracker information?

[Nok12rs]

Had me thinking too.  Surely was specially adapted media camera!?

MGvalerio,

Thank you, I would appreciate your help. The pictures below show the mount I used. The third picture shows two brackets, I originally used the one on the left, but swapping to the one on the right makes things slightly better. Still quite shaky though, but of course this is a race bike with hard suspension.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to improve this?


Grazie a voi, vorrei apprezzo il vostro aiuto. Le immagini qui sotto mostrano il supporto che ho usato. La terza immagine mostra due staffe, ho utilizzato in origine quello a sinistra, ma lo scambio a quello di destra rende le cose un po 'meglio. Ancora abbastanza traballante, però, ma naturalmente questa è una moto da corsa con la sospensione dura.

Qualche suggerimento su come migliorare questo?

Martin.

How do you get the throttle / brake / g force / gps tracker information?

I have a datalogger wired into the bike. This outputs all that sort of information, then I use an excellent application called Dashware to synchronise the logger output with the GoPro video and to create the dashboard/graphs etc.

Fanbloodytastic; adds another dimension to your movie.

Yep, I guess a faily impressive highside judging by how far past the corner exit he ended up. He was up and walking by the time I went past though, so hopefully nothing more than bruising and wallet damage.

Martin Hi,

Which editing s/w do you use to make GoPr movies?

Thanks

Have you tried mounting the GoPro as a helmet cam?
