I take your point about cyclists on pavements... it can be annoying sometimes and dangerous as people often don't expect cyclists to be there.. the law is a bit of grey area with cycling on pavements, because some local authorities allow it and others don't. Some, like my town, only allow it...

Frame mounting... After being deterred from handlebar mounting I started thinking earlier about frame mounting possibilities using my makeshift mounting contraption and here is the result... This is quite a neat way to mount the camera as not only is it very rigid and steady, but the...

Round two.. more filming experiments Second test with Vado HD, this time in chest pocket of high vis jacket: YouTube - Filming on ebike with Vado HD in jacket pocket I actually shot this video this morning, it was my first attempt at filming from the chest pocket. The pocket is too big really...

Vado HD is growing on me... Back to original topic and camera discussion..... ;-) The more I use the Vado HD I got last week, the more I like it. This is one neat little camera in so far as the video quality goes..it keeps on surprising me. Today when filming at high speed it was still able to...

Sad to see cyclists being penalised. Yet again the government overreacting and caving into pressure most likely. Proving once again that we're living in a nanny state. It's sad that someone died in an accident with a careless cyclist but as the article said these accidents are very rare...

Results of this mornings experiments... Ok had chance to review the footage shot this morning on my makeshift handlebar mounting rig: Vado HD: YouTube - Vado HD filming on handlebar The Vado video was shot from the pocket on the front of the Canon camera case. Toshiba Camileo S10...

Good idea kitchenman, wind pick-up is always a major prob on my vids and also low voice pick up.. With most cams having internal mics there's little you can do except maybe make some wind shield cover over the mic.. My Vado HD has the external mic socket so I'm going to order a couple of...

Good point. That's the only criticism I would make of my pump but luckily I can read it ok the numbers are large enough.

I have one I like to keep in my back bag when I'm out on the road..just incase ;-)

That does look very comfortable to ride. Reminds me of my old Raleigh Chopper back in the day...Unsurpassed for sheer comfort and quality ride :p

Woah that's some set up you got!! :D Be interested to see how it turns out.

I just received a new pump at the weekend and thought I'd do a quick review for anyone thinking of buying a new pump. I'm really impressed with it.. It's a "Lifeline" floor pump which cost around £18 from Wiggles (delivered free)..I bought it on the strength of the all the positive reviews as I...

Handlebar experiments I went out this morning with a makeshift handlebar mounting rig and tried out a variety of different techniques with both my Vado HD and my Toshiba Camileo S10. Here are some photos of the handlebar set up... From the front: From the side: From behind: Here's...

Awesome thanks for that. I will certainly take a look :)

Ok here's a new dedicated thread: solutions to video camera shake for our experiments and ideas exchanging ;-)

Hi all, This is a new topic which has arisen out of my previous post Choosing the perfect bike camera. There seems to be a lot of interest and ideas about ways of minimising or eliminating camera shake when filming bike rides with video cameras. I thought it might be better if we moved this...

Thanks for the link and suggestion.. I was reading on the wikipedia page I mentioned earlier about software stablisation and they have a sample before and after video which looks quite impressive, but it doesn't say what software was used. Certainly worth trying those apps you suggested Windows...

Good one Allen. Even if this type of approach doesn't eliminate camera shake it might do a good job at minimising it and the rest could be sorted in software perhaps..

Very nicely done production and no camera shake ;-)

I been thinking along the same lines as yourself, thinking chest mount might be the way to go.. Some of that stretchy black elastic (the type used on the "body toner" pads thingies with the gelert buckles on might be ideal as it's not too tight. Under arm/side of chest might work better if you...
