Thruxton chasing a Scrambler

[Pete R]

I stuck one of those $10 keyring video cameras on my bike (thanks again Sal!!!) and went for on a Poker Run last weekend with the Rats Cafe boys and girls. I got some footage of us heading down the Putty Road in NSW - what a great motorcycling road it is.

After about 2 minutes into the first one I catch up with my mate Davo on his Scrambler and then chase him through and over the hills. Here's the links (remember it's only a 10 buck camera!)

And more of the Scrambler from behind the Thruxton's Clipons...

Now I'm going to save up for a good Camera to get some decent footage and audio!

That's some great stuff for only $10! What kind of camera was it?

I got mine for $10.99 plus postage and you have to supply your own micro SD card. Bloody good value tho' :up:

That's wild quality for such a cheap camera. NICE!

I have to get one! Plus I need to look into getting some Predators! Sound sweet! :worthy:

 

[Pete R]

BTW the Thruxton has Preds and the Scrambler has TORS.

Amazing pics, my cam is on the way, if you guys are getting ten to twelve minutes of film that's not too bad.
Are you foam mounting them? Or just taping them on ?....I'm figuring to try some with the cam mounted on the nose of the sidecar to see how it goes that way and maybe some other alternate places on the car frame..should be fun...where's the damn mailman?

Thats great - nice riding - and for that price we can all put up videos. You could get whatever length of time you want depending on what size SD card you put in.

Also, I have found that taping them somehow distorts the sound. There are entire forums where they mod these things, including opening them up and splicing the microphone wires to make a remote mic setup . The mic is right in the front.

I've got 16Gb micro SD cards in my cameras (I got two of 'em ) however they both seem to turn off after about 35 minutes. I didn't run out of memory and the battery wasn't flat so maybe it's a preset switch off after a certain period thing. I shall have to experiment.

Another thing I'd like to point out is that in some of the other clips I shot it was raining quite steadily and the camera kept working...and still works now.

Nice vids Pete.....just received my camera yesterday and now have to get a card. No hurry though....still can't get the bike out anyway.

Very impressive Pete. Damn, that road looks great and no traffic to speak of - fantastic!

Cheers,

Pikey.

Nice videos Pete! That camera is awsome for 10 bucks
BTW do you know what kind of bike that was in the first video that took off at about 2:00 with the passenger on the back?
