I have one of those coming from China buts it taking its time with all the Ash business going on. It cost £10 so I was not going to expect much from it but I should be pleased looking at the op's video.

Default Re: Testing my cheap video camera

for some reason the photos wont rotate even tho i have done it about 20 times,

1st pic is where i placed it first, wrapped all 3 velcro bands around it to secure it to the bike (first one went into the plastic case to hold it)



once its very tight, takes a few goes to get it sitting right, as it has to be on the edge of the mud guard so its pointing straight, then push it upwards to the top. As the mudguard gets wider the camera is held tighter and once at the top its not going to move at all. Problems are as somone mentioned that its hard to really get a good idea where its aiming, so get less sky and more road



from a bit further out

That looks like a great stretch of road! I take it that the rider in this clip (not you of course nunez) has ticked off everything on his bucket list and is now just killing time?? Nearly cr@pped myself watching that... take it easy, and post some more vids. Cheers.
the original had better sound before i made it smaller, next time will just put some music over the top to drown out the wind noise.

yeah its a nice bit of road one of the best around these parts, the rider in question (again not me) does not think he/she was going that fast, and has been up there much quicker.

Well that looks nothing like my front mudguard lol.....some kind of wedge behind it might help with getting more road than sky, or you could try one of the adaptors that come with it as they can be "angled". If you have a laptop you could plus it in using the webcam function to make sure the cam was aimed correctly.
