[Tim in Belgium]

The third and final video, featuring a fair few people on their bikes from yesterday's ride out. From up near the Ribblehead viaduct to Settle:

What video gear were you using??

Nice roads up there .. not so sure about the slate/stone walls as runoff mind :shock:

Oh and ffs DON't put music on a bike vid ... we want to hear the beautiful engine ... if I want to listen to your taste in music then ... well I don't!! :D But if I wanted to listen to music then I'd turn my stereo on ... I want to hear an SV in an SV vid ;)

What would be cool next time is if you out the mic in your lid ... that way we can have a running commentary and hear the bike too 8)

[Tim in Belgium]

Just used a helmet cam that plugs into my camcorder.

Having the mic in the helmet sounds a good idea, will have to check lead lengths etc, or put the camcorder in a rucsac instead of under the seat.

As for the music, 5 mins of SV exhaust being picked up by a crap mic may be a little tedious but understand you may not appreciate my superior taste ;) And perhaps the levels of music vs bike sound weren't the best there.

Yeah do the helmet mic thing :)

Just watched one of your other vids (it actually had me in it!! :D) .. that was better as the music AND exhaust were both audible, but he exhaust was dubbed? much louder so you could actually here it this time 8)

What, No plod scooby ruining the road round Horton in Ribblesdale or just before you get into Settle.

OR did you edit him out.

[Tim in Belgium]

It was plod free apart from our own advanced guard :)

But quite greasy in places.

5min of SV exhaust is music to me...

[Wideboy]

nice!

what tune is that btw?

[Tim in Belgium]

The tune is Streamline by Pendulum, but not to Blue's liking ;)

Keeps you on your toes :-P

How long do you get Tim, only an hour? What is it that is limiting you - battery or memory size?

[Tim in Belgium]

Tapes are an hour long, so I could put a fresh one in. Batteries for the helmet cam last approx 1 1/2 hrs, and the cam corder about 1hr20- 1hr40. So I could get a bit more if I was prepared to buy & change over batteries. Ended up taking 49 mins worth just for those 3 short videos.

Tune is ok, but I would rather just hear the motor as that is why I am watching/listening to the vid for ... as I said, if I wanted background music then I'd turn my stereo on and stick 'eye of the tiger' on!! :smt098

[yorkie_chris]

Nahhh you want some motorhead

[ThEGr33k]

I like the tune tbh :cool:

[Tim in Belgium]

I might do multiple versions of future videos, two different tunes and one au naturelle, keep everyone happy :)

[yorkie_chris]

My mic mounted in the lid picks up engine noise and my voice quite well.

How will this be affected by the U-rating on the site? (bearing in mind I REALLY dislike muppets in cars (and also sing along with mp3 player, badly)) :-P

[Tim in Belgium]

Chris, I think a 3 way (or more) mass SV video orgy with myself, you, Paul the 6th, & JamesUnhill could be good, and then give it all to Paul to edit ;) Could be quite a video.

I agree! :cool:

Im tempted to get one myself. Only thing is I guess its a lot of MB's to send. :rolleyes:

[yorkie_chris]

Might be an idea to check with paul first too :-P
