Hi Oiseaux, Thanks for your comments :) To be honest, I don't have much "hands-on" experience with other bikes as I had rode only one bike before I decided a self-build was the way for me...I did look at a lot of videos though of other bikes like Wisper and Ezee and looked at the noise they...

Splendid idea. Would you like to do the honours and start the thread? I'd be happy to post some reviews of my cameras and best test footage clips.. I think the thread would be useful to anyone thinking of getting a camera for filming their ebike rides..can be very confusing choosing with so many...

Hehe I totally agree. I don't think we'll ever get completely smooth videos on two wheels.. but as you say, providing it doesn't give you nausea watching it, it's considered a success.

:D Thanks, it did come out quite steady didn't it. I noticed watching it again that the video is a little washed out. I think I accidentally put the white balance up. That's a problem on this Vado HD camera. It has these annoying touch sensitive controls on the back for zoom and brightness...

How annoying! It was like 30 seconds too long and it took 3+ hours to upload (470mb). Should of checked.... ah well, I've trimmed it now and reuploaded overnight so here it is.. YouTube - Vado #3: Camera on shoulder

I find staying in top gear works best for me. I keep my chain on the largest chainset sprocket and I just move along all together quicker and easier under power.. I've heard flecc and others talk about fitting larger sprockets (i.e. 52T) to make it go faster. Then there's possibly increasing...

I'm impressed by your videos! Both are certainly watchable, as you say the second rear cam footage is smoother, but the first is not too bad at all, some vibration is there, but no major jumpy picture like on my footage. I think what we have learned so far is that tiny cameras work much...

Uploads taking aaaages :rolleyes: Sorry still uploading the last one...

Camera shake problem SOLVED This morning I went out for a ride to try three further tests... #1 Filming from the bike frame. I didn't expect this to work too well and the viewing angle was poor anyway. I did it really as a bit of fun and just to see how much camera shake there would be. I...

Haha you can barely call that a road! What the heck!?

more photos... Please post your photos of the worse roads you can find in your locality ;-) vhfman's may take some beating I think..

flecc is in the house Good to see you back flecc and pleased to hear it went well.

Hi vhfman, my source files are MOV or MP4 but if I have a file larger than 15 minutes I cut out the sections I want using Avidemux (Linux app) and then save them as the default AVI. I think that is where the problem occurs with the sound being out of sync..I should try saving in same source file...

My Vado HD records in MP4 format, and my Toshiba Camileo S10 records in QuickTime MOV format... Although I don't have any problems uploading these straight to YouTube, the 15 minute size limit causes me problems when it comes to cutting up videos... I use a Linux program called Avidemux which...

Sheesh that is bad even by standards in my town. Perhaps the gov should start making this is a priority and giving cash to local authorities instead of throwing it away on wasteful things?! I think it's really dangerous for us cyclists as I don't know about you but I find myself often weaving...

Here in my home town of Redditch, our roads are in an appalling condition.. especially the cycling lanes.. many are in dire need of resurfacing. Where roads have been repaired it looks like it's been done on the cheap with rows of "patches" resulting in bumps and uneven roads.. ok for cars...

Another day, another test Well as we have another glorious day of sunshine today I will take the bike out again for third test this morning and try to improve on yesterdays findings... I have a jacket with a higher chest pocket so I will try wearing the Vado in that and then we can get a...

Was the road surface ok or uneven there? Seems to be picking up a lot of vibration like what I experience mainly on gravel topped roads.

10gb good god. You have your work cut out there kitchenman! It seems our internet speeds haven't caught up with the camera technology yet have they? ;-) I have found .FLV is a good format for YouTube offering the best compression to quality ratio, but it takes a loooong time for the computer...

Excellent idea..I didn't think of using velcro..as most cameras are under 100g (my Vado HD is 93g) it might just hold.. I have a roll of velcro I got for something else so will give it a try..i just wish I had pouches for my cameras.
