A star is born. Trying out some new angles

[ozzieboy]

Trying to get as many different angles as I can....need to do some ride by's but that would entail stopping somewhere.

Comes complete with the greatest song in the universe ever:rockon:....well, not really. Just thought I'd talk it up a bit...lol.

Cool man!
I like the different camera angles! :thumbup:
I've been telling my friends to get 2 cameras and have one point at them as they are riding and the other at the road, then edit it together.
I think it looks better to see the rider every once in a while.

Nice vid mike...awesome quality, just glad your wearing a helmet, but!

:Flip:

 

[CCHOUSEKY]

A star is born, indeed!

That's a great video with a great soundtrack! And watching the portions where the camera is pointing back toward you, it just makes me want to hurry up and start my naked conversion!!!

LOL, every time I watch a video from a country where they drive on the opposite side of the road (as opposed to the U.S.), it takes me a minute to not yell out "hey, watch out, that car's on the wrong side of the road!!!". I'd love to try my hand at riding like that...although I'm sure it would confuse the heck out of me for a while!

nice video! quality of the video is excellent..

Is that the Hero wide angled camera?

If it is. What is the quality like on a full screen TV.

Really nice editing.

That was one of the most enjoyable video's I've seen. Good quality, editing and music. Loved it :thumbup:

That's the Hero HD in 720p 60 fps. I'm pretty sure that in that setting it is wide angle....as you can see when you look at my mirrors...lol...they're almost pointed at each other, so it really does suffer from fish eye.

Played on the big screen it looks freaking spectacular (46inch plasma I think I was using) but if you play directly from the camera you can't cue or fast forward etc which can be a bit of a downer.

Great shooting Mike! Yeah, the 720 mode is the widest angle. The 1080p mode is less of an angle but still a bit of fisheye to it. Of course, you can't do slo-mo with that setting and have it smooth though.

I just subscribed to your youtube!

Some pretty good form through the corners and way to look ALL the way through! Most of that was pretty smooth! I can't wait for riding weather here so my HD GoPro can get a workout!

very nice, "mate" but you really need to be careful riding 'round those corners on the wrong side of the road.

Are those mirrors stock, because they look straight outa the 1970's.

Good video, very enjoyable. I need to borrow a friend's GoPro to get a video of the road I live on. It is great!

I'm not scared you guys will hunt me down, so if you wanna see my road, it is here:

cool vid! getting quite a lean on there too.

 

[Humperdinkel]

Great Video Mike :thumbup: , like the angle where it looks back at you (thank god for the tinted visor :Flip .... Enjoyed watching you get busy in the ****pit :spank: :rof:

 

[segue00]

lol---loved the way you blocked off the speedo-- we can't tell for sure you were speeding.

Well thanks for that. They are getting better I think, but still have a long way to go. I would like to do one with all the angles and ride by's in it but I usually just make one up out of a days riding as I'm a little impatient and definitely reluctant to stop the bike and set up the camera once I start riding...lol.

Did you notice what happens in the slow mo bit as that shadow on the road rolls off the bottom of screen:rockon:.

I very much wish I had the Go Pro when I did that "Windy on the Bull" video on youtube. I rode for around 5 minutes, then sat behind the white car you see for 2 and a half minutes, before doing a 3 point turn and heading back to wait at the intersection, and was still waiting for the next bike to roll up....lol...then gave them a head start and set out after them...lol. Makes for some sweet angles...lol.:rockon::rockon:

LOL...yup, they are the standard mirrors, and they are from the 70's just about....loads of Yammies have them, including the MT01. Mine have been extended 50mm to make them much more useful....I can see the curb from my right hand mirror (LH for North America) about 20 metres/60 feet behind me. Can see right around behind me in other words:cheer:.

cool vid! getting quite a lean on there too.

There are a couple spots in there where the road just invites you to go a little hard:rockon:...lol...but mostly just a casual flipflopping ride.

I've got 2 words for you.....and some numbers. 1 minute 57 seconds. I do the old wink with a flick of the head manouvre...lol....What a ham:BLAA:...LMAO.

lol---loved the way you blocked off the speedo-- we can't tell for sure you were speeding.

LOL....can't be too careful nowadays.....you might just inadvertently "pop" over the speed limit for a second and get a visit from someone with a ticket for you...lol.

I really should cover the tacho too:BLAA:...lol. Especially when The Animal is shaking it's head a touch at 11 grand:rockon:.
