GoPro fun this afternoon

[charlie12]

I decided the frame sliders that I haven't used yet (knock on wood) should start pulling their own weight, so I put a GoPro camera mount on one of them. I mounted the camera for my ride this afternoon, but instead of shooting video, I set it to take a still shot every 2 seconds. 1400 photos later, I was back home looking through what I got. Here are a couple of my favorites after cropping:

Hope you enjoy!

Great shots. The Gopro HD is a great camera for timed shots and video.

[Erci]

LOVE it! Video from that angle should look great too.

Sure thing -- if you'd like I can send you the uncropped file, it's a little bigger... just slanted. Which one were you referring to btw?

Hopefully I'll do a video in the next week or so!

[Geoff]

F**k Yeah! I cant way till I get mine saturday, take a picture how you mounted it on your bike, I love that view. Please Please Please!

 

[Esra]

Those look fantastic, I'm getting one for sure!

can you post a link to the full sized pic of the last image? Want it as a screen saver.

Definitely post up how you mounted it, never even occurred to me to use it on the slider!

Finally got around to snapping a few photos of the GoPro mount:

The camera gets pretty hot, but not nearly as hot as it did when I had the thing stuck straight to the engine block! Seems like everything performs fine regardless of the heat. I apologize for how dirty my bike is right now -- so many things need to be cleaned, but every time I have time to do some cleaning, I decide to go riding instead!

Here are links to full size versions:

Downhill Uncropped
Huron River Drive Uncropped

Just for fun, here are two more shots. First, a previous shot I took with the GoPro attached to the engine block of a CBR 929, which I like much better than the shots from Saturday:

Second, a 40 degree lean angle from Saturday:

I agree these are among the best shots I've seen. You captured the essence of the machine, and of the road. Well done!

i think in a 45 degree lean you will lose your camera

 

[Erci]

Love it (again)! Wish mine took stills (maybe it does?? Research time!)

 

[mxgolf]

Those shots are great! Thanks for sharing. :thumbup:

 

[malicious439]

Wow this pictures look amazing, get some videos up of that it would look great!

 

[Esra]

Can't get the uncropped images to open.

 

[Geoff]

Can you send a link to where that mount came from to the crash slider, thats really interesting.
