• 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.

Virtual Reality or "Hyperframe" video?

I have videos of my Spyder ryde yesterday. One is produced as a VR video, and the other is called "Hyperframe". The VR one, the viewer controls the view by moving your phone, or swiping the video. The "Hyperlapse" one changes the view automatically but has (I think) some pretty cool effects. They're kinda long, but please have a look see and tell me what one you like better.
Thanks!

I like the VR better. The hyperframe is novel, but doesn't give a true view of the scenery. Where is the Virb mounted to give it the 360 views?
 
The Hyperframe is a better picture, but the VR is kinda cool! Oh, and I don't like videos of other people's rydes, or mine for that matter, but this is cool!

Thanks! The VR is 4K, and the Hyperframe is 1080P, so maybe the 4K is not as good as it should be because it takes longer to stream. Once they are cleared up, they both look pretty good
 
How hard is it to start and stop recording. Do you use an app that controls the VIRB or do you have to try and find the button with your fingers? Also, how long can you record? Limited by battery life or SD card? I like the VR better because I can choose what I want to see.

Theres an app but it also has a pretty good-sized slide switch on the side of the camera so you don't need to fumble around looking for a little button. Battery life is up to an hour so recording is limited to that as well as SD card
 
Nuh uh uh. :lecturef_smilie: That's not how it works. First you answer what one do you think is better, then if you want to know about the camera, you can ask.


Ha....fair enough. I prefer the VR one. If you had a fan on your desk in front of you blowing air, it would almost be like actually riding with the VR video.

I personally prefer the VR option. And having the viewer to interact with the video is really interesting.
 
VR is best when in those states where grass is legal. Hyperframe for places where needed.....:yes::yes::yes:
