Ok Mosci, I understand what your saying. But looking at the video above, the vibrations seem to be because the track is particularly bumpy, especially on the main straight. We can see this from the movement of the rider. Otherwise I think this setup worked really well.

But I take the point. I think you guys have done an awesome job so far. And if you hadn't tried to bring some crazy ideas to life then you would not have come this far. So well done

Yeah the Drift "Mod" works ok but the camera lens is definitely moving lots and creating the "Jelly" effect.

Like you say worse on the high speed straights tho.

Update:

We had an interesting sale recently, supplying the Marc VDS Moto 2 team with a unit which they used and developed themselves at a recent test at Aragon, Spain.

The settings we supplied it with, which we use for normal human beings needed tweaking for the extreme riding conditions of Tito Rabat and Alex Marquez!!

The team representative we've been dealing with is supplying us with the data from their testing so technically we can say its been developed by Tito and Alex! (Tongue in cheek!)

The videos are here which features the use of the Gyrocam we supplied:

how do you stop the camera shake?

Can you (or anyone else) recommend some good overlay software, i.e. to show speed/position etc. I used RaceChrono previously with various results. Pretty sure there was a really good one but only for Nokias?

Just been on there and found loads of mounts that I've been looking for!

The biggest single thing I've found to be a cause of camera shake on motorbikes is the slide in gopro clip. There is sufficient play in the mount to really create nasty shake. Use some duct tape over the centre ridge until the mount is solid. Are you using a Gopro or similar?

There is a comment in one of the Marc VDS videos on youtube where someone reccomends the use of "Dashware" to do overlays. But I've only ever used RaceChrono too.

Yes there is tons of stuff on there! I don't think the discount code works anymore though

I'm not too bothered, as the bits I want aren't available for my Garmin Virb, and the prices aren't too bad.

whats the shipping time from ordering?

Did you have to pay any import duty or VAT?

Shipping time can vary, but expect around a week or two at maximum.

I've not had to pay any extra duty or VAT on anything from them or from our Asian suppliers either for that matter.
