bike video footage problems?
 

my mate with the buell has just had a JVC hdd camcorder, hes got one of those brackets which holds it to the tank but everytime he goes out and sets the camera to record it fails and turns its self off? would the current from the coils be effecting the electronics of the camcorder?

It could be the vibration from the Buell lump!!

this is what i first thought but when on the move the buell smooths out.

when i attach my old jvc camcorder to my sv it records ok until you get the bike reving then the screen seems to wobble side to side? like waves on the screen? this is why i think it may be electrical interference.

that's vibes man:cool:

you can get a similar effect by gripping an electric toothbrush with your teeth, no idea how i found that out:rolleyes:

narr it aint vibes cus i did the same on my cbr and that was smooth as silk, you can sit in neutral and rev the bike and the waves come and go.

if it were electrical you would expect snow or something more like interference, even the smooth as silk CBR would be vibrating a bit...

honestly, you could probably simulate the effect with anything that vibrates with a bit of gusto, surely you must be able to spot packages like that and just pop them back in the mail system a few days later (oh what fun we had guessing which magazine was behind the brown plastic wrapper);)
