Finally a brilliant Gyro Camera for bikes!

will your rear case fit these motors?

I've just picked one up on ebay before even seeing your thread and 3D parts as I've just bought a Mobius cam

It won't be a straight forward fit I imagine, and you'll need to route the power cable a different way as our motors have a hollow shaft which it passes through.

But once you've bought the rest of the parts (As I think your suggesting) the price of a motor would not be much more.

Cheers fella. One more question, my understanding is to get the data required, you need to use an OBD tool to collect it, which the different overlay software can interpret and then overlay onto the vid. Is this the case and if so, what do you use? All the bluetooth OBD adapters I've looked at are OBDII, which plug straight into cars, however Suzuki use their SDS system which is a non-standard plug. I think it only uses 3 x pins, ground, positive and data...so potentially could make up a plug, however just wondered what you use(d)?

i'm using a RAM 1'' ball mount and arm. you might be onto something as i think the arm might be too long.

You've got me there, I only used a GPS file from the RaceChrono app which gave me track position and speed. RaceChronoAvi converted it into a video file.

If you want all the bells and whistles then the OBD would be required but I've not used one sorry.

Yeah the arms really don't help either!

No probs, thanks for responding. Yeah...was looking for all the bells and whistles i.e. RPM, gear position, temperature etc etc.

Cheers

do you think a stabiliser like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Handheld-V...item234d20ec89 would work on a bike?

To re-create the Gyrocam? Doubt it.

To aid stabilising a camera to remove wobble / shaking? - Maybe but I'd just go with a firmer mount and not worry!

Just got the parts today for the build as pictured earlier in the thread with the Mobius cam. Looking forward to trying it out!
