• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Please be gentle it's my first time!

I just watched the video. Being honest, the intention and aiming is good, however the motorcyle reference within the video is the windscreen, and that could be a good reference but the distortion is is pretty bad based on the road lines.

The mount location seems good being stable, just not sure if it is possible, even with zoom to remove the distortion areas. Also, some distortion on the edges may happen from the camera itself naturally. Thing is, your video has a large percentage of the image looking through the windscreen.

you mentioned the mount was onto a Ram ball which is on the handlebar. Can this mount be safely moved forward or further outboard?

In regards to image quality and degradation, finding a good converter is important. I think you mentioned going from AVI to MP4. Not uncommon whether done automatically or by user selection. You may also want to experiment and see if conversion before or after importing into you editing program helps. Also, if there are sound events that key to visual, ensure the conversionretains the timing. As an example when a ball bounces, is the sound of the impact aligned with the ball hitting the ground?

I am not sure what software you are using, even the best is always degraded by Youtube for uploading. Keep that in mind if you play the same video on the same monitor with a before and after upload comparison.

Keep at it, once you find the true best mount location, it will capture incredible video that is easy to watch in 5 minute max duration.

No, the RAM ball mount can only be fixed where it is. It's purpose built by Lamonster Garage. http://cdn3.bigcommerce.com/s-1dz5q...relowcate__64553.1452310301.1280.1280.jpg?c=2

I tend to agree with you and I'm working on repositioning the extension arm without exacerbating the vibration of the camera.

Yep I have seen what YouTube does to video! :sour: All mine are shot in 1080p.
 
I'm just glad you didn't run over any dogs! :bowdown:

There are legal ramifications involved in running over certain animals. If you run over a dog
you must report it to the police asap. This also includes goats, horses, cattle, asses, mules, sheep and pigs
and strangely, geese!
 
You said you started out from Maidstone prison. Were you documenting your escape?:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::yikes:

Why were you in prison? Did you complete your sentence? Does England give all prisoners a Spyder when released? :roflblack:

There are a lot of asses here in the states I wish I could run over. :roflblack:

OK. September 9th. I started out at the rear of Maidstone prison and headed out toward the old village of Boxley.
This is just a short test video as an experiment. I have another 15 minute video which will take
several hours to upload to YouTube

Could you mount it on top of the intakes and zoom it forward so you couldn't see the side? Quality is just fine. where you have it now works good too. I think people just aren't used to seeing the windshield extension you have on your bike. Kiind of freaky to see the "other side of the road" riding. You've got the right idea and it seems to work very well. I live in Colorado, so there are lots of twisties. Your kind of video gets me Jonesin' for a camera. Just got the bike. Have to let the wife calm down a little before I start adding "stuff."

GoPro software

I have just started to learn the camera and software from GoPro. GoPro Studio is one of the worst programs I have ever tried to master. After many days and nights and YouTube videos I discovered Videopad. You can download a free version to try it. In a couple of hours I was making acceptable videos. It has many features like "naration" that is simple and effective.
