Great job with the setup. Looks like it took quite some time to rig up. I was just looking for another camera, and they're freaking expensive now!

Posted Apr 27, 08 by Trinith
Yea, they're all going for about $3-400 now. That whole setup, aside from the time spent buying supplies, only took about half an hour though.

How thick is the lexan? 3/8?

Posted Apr 12, 08 by Trinith
Maybe? Maybe 1/8? I dunno....it doesnt have to be thick, just thick enough to be rigid...That stuff is almost as hard to cut as glass is man.

nice cam setup dude...wish i had a camera..:P
planing on getting a v750

Posted Apr 12, 08 by Trinith
Good luck, I'd advise you get it ASAP, all they're doing is getting more expensive...

Posted Apr 12, 08 by Fudmottin
Where did you get the lexan? I need some.

Posted Apr 12, 08 by Trinith
Lowes or Home Depot. Either has it. It's with the plexiglass...

I am trying to get hubby to get a helmet cam. This will definetly help.

Posted Apr 12, 08 by Trinith
Just gotta talk him into getting a cheap helmet to basically screw up. There's actual helmet cam systems out there, but they're expensive and the audio SUCKS.

Why not get some cheapass helmet windscreen, cut it up and fix it, glue / screw it on to the outside of the chinguard to completly cover that big hole. Buy some with lightsmoke color and the hole wont be so visible. Dosent look like that pice off lexan more...

No, it won't distort too much, what will happen is you'll get more wind noise (from inside the helmet) and you'll see more of the camera in a reflection. Mine doesn't appear to reflect at all, but other setups will.

Hey if it works it works - was just an idea to cover the hole. Did you mean that the windscreen would distort the picture when the camera is to far away?
Man if only the fucking snow could go away so i could test some vlogging my self :(

Posted Apr 12, 08 by Trinith
PS - That lexan only cost me about $1....and it's stronger than glass, and stiffer than most plastic.

Posted Apr 12, 08 by Trinith
The closer it is to the camera, the better. Your idea would have the camera an inch or two from the screen, mine is about a mm. I've been using the setup for a while, the video from the 250, as well as what was taken on river road used it, and they came more...

So glad you are back in working order...errr vlogging order. lol Looks like it's a pretty good set up... is all too complicated for me. I will have to get someone to set mine up when i start riding.... hmm. Know how to get to TN?

Posted Apr 12, 08 by Trinith
Where? Never heard of it.

Posted Apr 11, 08 by brotherblonde
Glad to see you finally got a haircut. :-)

Posted Apr 12, 08 by Trinith
Hahahaha

Posted Apr 11, 08 by HIGHONSTRESS
now thats a proper setup.. i hope it works good (especially because im watching the end result haha)

With my mount, i dont use any tape, velcro or anything.. but the downside is in order to fit my camera in my super cool shoei helmet its sideways and more...

Posted Apr 11, 08 by Trinith
You've seen this mount in action, it came out REALLY well. Is the mount I was using when I crashed.

Posted Apr 11, 08 by sierraink
Glad your back in action .Ride careful

Posted Apr 11, 08 by Trinith
