Re: a quick update on the part 2 video
 

As not to derail Paul the 6th thread...


I have just got myself one of those camera, it's an Oregon ATC 3K,
A quick question... Paul, where and how did you mount it to the bike ? As the kits it comes with is more like for pushbiking / canoeing than motorcycling...

Re: a quick update on the part 2 video
 

I don't think paul uses ATC, IIRC he has a bullet cam setup and mini DV camcorder

Re: a quick update on the part 2 video
 

aye bullet cam made by "DogCamSport" linked into a MiniDV (miniDV tape) camera... bit ott but I already had the dv cam so only needed to buy the camera (and not spend a load more on fancy solid state recorders :))

Re: a quick update on the part 2 video
 

but where and how did you mont the bullet camera? please tell or show a photo.
Looks as I'm gonna have to make a special bracket.

Re: a quick update on the part 2 video
 

Paul's a sucker, IIRC - and so is his mount. I've got the same one as him, but haven't used it in anger yet.

Think Seggons is your man for the bike-mounted camera, because he had it mounted on the offside radiator brackets somewhere (dunno if its still there after his recent off)

Re: a quick update on the part 2 video
 

Te he he ;)

Ay it's still there. All that is needed is DogCam suction mounts, take off the suckers, slide what's left on the camera, mark on some thick metal where the holes are, drill, find any ol' nut and bolt, put it through the bracket and metal, do bolts up and then unscrew one of the screws on the rad cover and use that to screw your new fancy bracket on to it. :D

Re: a quick update on the part 2 video
 

Thats a good place but i've got the lowers on...

was thinking about by the front calliper... but don't know if thats a good place. ie only suspension from the road is the tyre pressure....

Re: a quick update on the part 2 video
 

what about directly beneath the centre of the top fairing? Couldnt you bolt it onto the plastic shroud underneath? Fairly discreet holes if you needed to remove it.

Re: a quick update on the part 2 video
 

Nah it'll bounce about like buggery on the suspension. You can get little clips to put it on the bikes "chin" under the headlight.

Re: a quick update on the part 2 video
 

still open to options...

Robs sound feasible...
Yorkie do you have photos or a link I can see them on please...?

Re: a quick update on the part 2 video
 

I was going to put it on the bottom of the suspension leg but when I offered it all up I was far too concerned about the camera wire getting involved in the brake disc or wheel.

I then offered it up under the front fairing but didn't like the idea of drilling holes on my bike. The other place is to make a bracket of some sort for it to sit on the wing mirror mount.

If you wanted to get technical about it then you could always try and put it in the front headlight but you might have a problem with reflection.

You also have to ask yourself does it have to be pointing forwards? Who ever it was (Jester?) that did the filming at the AR08 had some really good footage with the camera pointing backwards.

You could put it right on the tail of the bike, the snowplough, the rear pillion peg or even try and be cleaver and put it onto the swing arm so you get some great shots of the chain working. The only downside to putting it on the swing arm would be you only need 1 small blob of chain oil to ruin hours of footage.

So did stuartyboy on the ecosse.

I just foam taped mine onto crash bung.

Re: a quick update on the part 2 video
 

This is where I suckered mine and it seemed to work fine, although got some vibrations at Croft..

Re: a quick update on the part 2 video
 

eyup richie - the top mount on this page: http://www.dogcamsport.co.uk/bullet-...ion-mounts.htm is mine

also, you can see a quick snippet of the dogcam in situ on my helmet from the pateley bridge rideout we did in january @ http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=I4Ncw55pcCU - 0:40 second into the video you'll get a quick glimpse :) I'll try take a picture for you asap but I've been mentally busy with work and now i've got the beginnings of an absyss & a bad chest infection... I'm not moaning about it though :razz:

Re: a quick update on the part 2 video
 

cheers Guys, you peeps really do a great job in keeping people informed..
I'm gonna have a good look at the situation in the morning in less drunk eyes (can't spell sober... Damn!!! just did..)... around 11.30 ish... (well I am still on leave) and gonna make some thing.. better or worse.. but I but I post a vid before Paul does........... lol

Re: a quick update on the part 2 video
 

I tell you what, I'll put a tenner on you getting a video up before me to be honest. Ill as feck and waiting for the cavity wall insulation man to come. Not a good look

Re: a quick update on the part 2 video
 

Went out today for a larl trundel around the North,
Went over to Hartside again with Cash... BLOODY place was CLOSED... and it was in the clouds again...
So I didn't bother going all the way over and back as roads were greasy and wet... plus there's a great long diesel spill over the tops on the way from Hartside through Altson and towards Hexam...
It takes an age to download from SD card to the computer... 3gb in an hour...
now need to install some editing software and learn how use it.

Re: a quick update on the part 2 video
 

photo's of my new mount I manufactured out of an old radadiator Grill, Indicator and a 7/16 unc bolt with self amalgamating tapre and Puncture repair kit glue (rubber to rubber)

Re: Camera mount.
 

That's a fancy camera mount.

Re: Camera mount.
 

Daft question - wheres the indicator gone that used to hang off that bracket? ;)

Re: Camera mount.
 

into the head light... side light, then moved the side light below the head light

Re: Camera mount.
 

so where are the bloody video's then ?

Re: Camera mount.
 

Too bloody big... 1gb and then 700mb... need some sort of editing sortware...

he said in a begging sort of way... ;-)

Re: Camera mount.
 

Windows movie maker is always good for the basic tasks, I personally use Sony Vegas for my videos. :)

Re: Camera mount.
 

If you let me know what you need, I'll see if I've got a spare you can borrow anywhere... :)

Re: Camera mount.
 

cheers Paul.

Re: Camera mount.
 

Richie

I have the camera you are talking about. But I've not used it on the SV yet.

I've used it gaffa taped to my helmet though. The only downside is there's no screen so you don't know where it's pointing.

You could also try the indicator stalk.
