Ducttape wrote: YAY!!! I have about a minutes worth of video testing my new helmet cam on my coker I still haven't quite figured out how to mount it with the least amount of wiggling so the helmet cam shots are really wiggly but the camera is an ATC 2K from Oregon Scientific, and for anly about $100 it's a pretty good camera I can mount it on my helmet, my arm, my unicycle practically anywhere and it records to an SD card.... pretty nice waterproof up to 10 feet..... I'll have my video up soon as well (there's snow in mine!!!) Aha! That's awesome stuff I'm glad to hear that it's working for you... I have just been given one for Christmas by my parents The instructions say it's not shock-resistant though, so I'm thinking I won't put it on the frame / handlebar of my coker mostly - I don't want it to shake to bits. I'm not really sure how seriously waterproof it is. It sounds like it'll cope well with spray / rain / occasional drops in a puddle. But the depths quoted on these things are often for "ideal" conditions and you can't always get away with such a depth in "real life"... I'd love to be able to use it to shoot footage under water but I'm not convinced it'll stand up to that! Please post vids of what you get out of this thing! I'll see if I can get some footage out of my camera too - should be awesome. -- mark williamson Dave: Just a question. What use is a unicyle with no seat? And no pedals! Mark: To answer a question with a question: What use is a skateboard? Dave: Skateboards have wheels. Mark: My wheel has a wheel! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mark williamson's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/11301 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/66279 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Ah really? That's good to know, thanks! Did your silicon grease come in a tiny container with "Do not eat silicon gel" stamped on it? That made me laugh a lot Seems like a good rule to live by, though. I'm not worried about it shaking to bits when it's mounted on the unicycle I'm worried about the ground tearing it to bits on a UPD. That's sort-of what I meant... I think I can probably find somewhere on the seatpost / T7 where the camera won't hit the ground directly (on level ground, anyhow). But even if it doesn't hit the ground directly it's going to getting shaken up mightily when the uni hits the ground... That kind of shock is a bit of a worry, since I expect that eventually that's going to break the camera - the question is how much it can take. I think I'll keep it mostly on the helmet mount and only put it on the uni when I need to, if at all. -- mark williamson Dave: Just a question. What use is a unicyle with no seat? And no pedals!

I don't think I'll ever mount the camera on the T7 either, I think I'll stick to mounting it on my body mainly my arm or my helmet -- Ducttape '-*buy my shirts*-' (http://www.zazzle.com/ducttapesunicycle/products) '*watch my videos*' (http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=ducttapesunicycle) '*uniman comics*' (http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=53444) '*original thread for uniman*' (http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=49862) *'sigged quotes' (http://tinyurl.com/29b744)* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ducttape's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/12006 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/66279 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |
