View Full Version : Video of My Ride Today with my new Ram Mount
Here is a compilation of my ride earlier trying out my new ram mount with a camera recording. Qualitys not bad for what it is, might try it out with some other cameras. The quality should get better once You Tube have fully processed it as it is definetly better on the unedited videos.
Have a gander!

just a normal Fuji Finepix only cost about £100, gonna try a few different ones
Just be careful with beginnings and ends where your street is potentially identifiable. Has been known to get naughty riders into trouble.
Edit: You're definitely going to go to prison. You overtook on the hatchings somewhere around 4:40 ish.

Was the footage better quality before you put it on youtube? Looks a bit camera phone on there.
Looks good what finepix you got i go the s5700 7mp one, nifty lil cameras excellent for when i go to watch racing
Looks good, what mounting have you got and howmuch did it cost?
Also what is it mounted to?
Ignore that, just read the other thread.
Good video, a little poor quality, but YouTube is like that.
As mentioned above though, please be sensible with your editing of the video. The housing estate at the start looks like it's where you live.
Video's on YouTube are often difficult to judge speed, but again, as said above, overtaking on hashed lines is a bit of a no-no in the eyes of the law. This is complicated by the fact there's a sign on the left warning of side roads, and a "reduce speed now" sign, and a speed camera warning. The hashed area doesn't have a solid border, so it's a little less naughty, but still.
Also the overtakes help gauge how fast you were going. NB, that doesn't mean I wouldn't of done the same in your position, I probably would.
Other than that, another reason not to show video anywhere near your house is in case local scrotes find it on YouTube & decide they want a new bike.

Perfectly legal so long as there was a need to do so, Ie make progress passed slower vehicles, and there was nothing else using the same area.
:cool:
Cool Vid,
Nice one... as everyone else has said, just be careful with the editing side.
Just a test run, better make some changes

Thats not my house luckily:cheers:, but yeah i will take that into account. Just a practice run really, i think it would be good for rideouts if i got some rechargables.

I thought the quality was fine. Good for a normal digi camera infact.

Didn't think that was illegal unless the outer line was solid.

That's what I meant sorry, by outer I meant the line that isn't hatching.
My instructor always told me to use hatching to my advantage, especially when turning right so you get out of the vunerable position on the road.

Cool Vid,
Didn't think that was illegal unless the outer line was solid.
Highway code rule 130:
130
Areas of white diagonal stripes or chevrons painted on the road. These are to separate traffic lanes or to protect traffic turning right.
if the area is bordered by a broken white line, you should not enter the area unless it is necessary and you can see that it is safe to do so
I think you'd find it hard to convince a copper that it was a 'necessity' to overtake that vehicle. Making progress isn't a necessity. Using them when turning right, or when passing a stationary vehicle is fine.
Cheers for the tip, it wasnt a necessity but i wasnt breaking the speed limit and you can see a fair way down the road as there is a low hedge running alongside it, next time i will wait until im past it though :)

No worries. We've all done it, the point I'm making is that you should be careful what you do on film - and you've admitted that it wasn't necessary to perform the overtake at that moment.
I think, although I stand to be corrected, that this could potentially lead to a DWDC charge, so just be careful what you put on YouTube.
If you're not filming, or being watched, do whatever you like as far as I'm concerned, because then the risk is only that you be caught by an actual policeman, and there aren't many of those around it seems.

First day on the camera, so i will be a bit more careful when filming from now on, I have updated the vid now as well.

Ah cheers
i have actuall come to the conclusion that it is windows movie maker that dictates the quality of the video, you need to save it in a higher quality so i will post up the better one which is more like the raw footage of the camera.

Are the fuzz that strict on this type of hatching???
Everyday people queue in this type of hatching when trying to enter Blackdam roundabout in Basingstoke. It's seen locally as an unofficial second lane, yet the hatching gets renewed every so often! Never heard of anyone being done for it either.

I think I must be too soft as a copper, maybe I should chose a different rule from the highway code every day and go enforce it! :D:D:D:D:D

From the video that is up currently I don't think you have anything to worry about bud. Not as if you're doing 122 with a 14 year clinging to the back ;)
Rule 130 is aimed at boxed areas at junctions... Double white lines in the center of the road with a broken white line closest you means that you can overtake if safe to do so and get back in before the line on your side goes solid again (rule 107).
Hope that helps.. :cool:

Quality looks better in that one. Did you put a bit of tape over the mic to drown out the wind noise?

No the camera is fitted so the windsheild protects it

Dont worry about it - I cant find the vid, but I filmed through a dark smoked and it came out fine - the camera WILL adjust for light conditions.
Dont rule it out before you try it.

Its an iridium screen, so you literally can hardly see through it, and not becasue of the darkness.
OK, I just had a look outside, its really bright but its actaully impossible to see through the screen :(

Just needed changing, the newer one aint that much different
Recorded some vids with a 10 mega pixel Panasonice Lumix cam that records in HD and the quality was amazing, put it up on the 55inch TV and picture was very good.
Vibrations are a bit of a problem with this cam though so gotta sort that out.

I cant find the video :( What page is it on now?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAXwb5KNN3w the old one is here, the new one isnt up, wont let me edit HD video files in Windows Movie Maker for some reason, might try and get a little clip on you tube if i can.
Corr that qualitys excellent. So thats with the lumix shown above?

No the lumix is much better than that, but vibrations are a problem at the minute, i think i may be able to sort it though. :eek:

I might have to invest in that camera and mount. I can imagine there being problems though if i go for a naked bike...
Shame about the mentioned vibrations for the lumix because those pics look really decent quality.

You can see what i mean by the vibrations, not sure how to get round it yet.

That could almost be good, the HD is really nice but there are still too many vibrations :(
