GoPro Hero Wide Angle Motostports Camera NOW WITH VIDEO!

[cyrus buelton]

That's not where you had it. I could see your visor in the pictures. I wanna see how goofy you looked with that thing on top of your head. 

I had it mounted there for another riding experiment.

Those pictures were also in Ohio while the original ones I posted were in the Tampa/St Pete area.

And the shadow of it in on the helmet in the first couple pics.

see above



If you want to see what the vid looks like right now, you can check out one of two places:

1. www.goprocamera.com
2. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Indianapolis-IN/Vision-Racing/7516468954?ref=ts&nctrct=1239193919509#/video/video.php?v=62611020973

I have not had a chance to edit my video (I took it for a lap around where I live, so I need to cut out traffic lights, boringness, etc).

If that one link doesn't work, you can find it on Facebook by searching for "vision racing"

Here are some photos where it was mounted on my tank, on my boring ride to work which is 1.5 miles

For any sort of aggressive riding though, wouldn't the camera on the tank really get in the way as the rider gets close up on the tank, as well as the handlebars.....

The go pro comes with different mounting options.  On my monster, I used the sticky connector on the gauages and it worked great.  On my 1098s I used the big suction cup on the lower side and looks great.

Only issue with this camera (and its not minor), is the lack of indicator saying if the bloody thing is on or not.  I have lost good footage thinking it was on an rolling

Yes, that is the problem with what I have found.


I just havent had the time to experiment with the other brackets.

Ideally, I'd like to get the one that I can mount on the frame or fab up a bracket to put on the for forks.

Can you post a picture of how you mounted that piece on your gauges?

[Monster Dave]

Mounting on the frame isn't a bad idea since you can go forward on the bike and have a solid/secure connection to the bike. If you added some sort of absorbant padding to a clamping bracket, it would probably smooth out the transmission of vibration from the engine through the frame.

I've got to tell you, I don't think it will vibrate.

Did you check out the link I posted of the video from an Indy car?

That was mounted on the left side, right above the side pods before the engine (back left of driver)

I think that Honda V8 with 800hp probably vibrates more than a monster.............

I didn't check out the link, but that's awesome! 

There's really nothing worse than a video that's bouncing all over the place from a cool ride.

I agree

It would be rather pointless to have a camera that gave shakey shitty video

[Sinister]

She makes fun of me enough ...

[cyrus buelton]

I'm a jackass

what do you expect?


Dude, you should get one of these for your mountain bike with the handlebar mount

that would be some kick ass video and pictures

Yeah, it would.  We have done helmet-cam stuff, in the past.

Finally found a hosting site that allows music.

I compressed this file as it was an old one since most sites limit your upload, however, viddler.com does not, so next video will be of much better quality.
