    Choosing the perfect bike camera...

    That's not bad at all! The video quality is good too. I'd be interested to know what camera model it is and seeing a pic of your mount. Sorry to hear about your back problem, I'm suffering with my knee at moment. Look forward to seeing keyring and Panny cam footage, Youtube permitting.. I'm...

    Choosing the perfect bike camera...

    That's a good idea, the chin guard for external mic and wind shielding. I don't wear a cycling helmet though, not sure I could start either.. I think I'm going to start looking at frame fixing options and try and build something.. I've a feeling the solution lies with springs ;-)

    Vado: Take Two Earlier I went out again just down the bus route lane to the next estate, to try out the Vado HD camera again and see if I could get it right this time. I only just managed to get the resulting video uploaded to YouTube (isn't it getting slow lately?!) Ok back to the video...

    Thanks vhfman. Like yourself, I'm not willing to spend £300 on a bicycle camera even if it is the dogs.. heh. I'd rather find a cheap solution, I know there is one, we just have to find it! Actually I been having some ideas and doing some drawings..

    Hi vhfman thanks for the info. Amazon page for the HM-TA1 states: Panasonic TA1 Full HD Pocket Camcorder - Grey: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics If you can find this feature on your cam, could you do a comparison and tell me if the EIS makes much difference? I agree, mounting is a big...

    Just got back Back from a 1 hour ride to Bromsgrove. The ride was great, lovely sunshine and fresh air. But dear oh dear. What a disaster with the camera. On the outward journey I wore the camera inside my top like on the photo I posted earlier.. I had shot a couple of test videos before I...

    I was just reading about that, the use of Llamas as guards for other herd animals..very interesting.

    That technique doesn't work for my server software :-( Must be because it's using PHP pages to display the images. http://gallery.amorphix.net/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=3927&g2_serialNumber=2

    Vado HD has arrived The little Vado HD camera arrived this morning nice and early so I've put it on charge and will do a test film on the bike later today. Will it come out jittery or steady? Oh the suspense! It takes 4 HOURS to charge the battery (and that is in "express" mode, normal mode...

    Phew what a lovely day for riding

    LLamas Thanks for all the replies guys on the unusual animals, they are indeed Llamas it seems.. I have no idea what this herd of South American animals is doing in a farm in Worcestershire. Most likely they are being kept for their wool, or perhaps someone just likes them! They look a bit...

    On my cycle ride to La Roche Posay guess what I saw

    Good question.. I suspect even with the all import costs it would still work out cheaper to import from China. The problem is not just the cost of the actual frame, it's the cost of designing it and all the operating and running costs of the business. There are a few small frame makers in the...

    It must be Spring...

    Hehe funny post NRG and so true. I too am seeing lycra everywhere I go and my town also has been dug up for some works or other! What is it about those damn temporary traffic lights..is it just me or do they seem to take an eternity to change?!

    Battery Life

    I think it's a gradual process and the range gets less and less as the charging cycles get shorter (time between charges).. some people I've heard say their bikes perform less well with an aged battery, particularly on hills. There will no doubt come a point where the battery just isn't able to...

    Battery prices

    I sent an enquiry for you to my supplier stating your requirements, just to see if he can provide anything to fit your space.. I will get back to you when he replies and post you all the details if he can.. he's Chinese and English is poor :)

    You could try removing the s, just do http:// and if that doesn't work, either put URL links instead, or use ImageShack® - Online Photo and Video Hosting to host them if you want, that service works ok with the forum.

    Some lovely views there! I'd be inspired to paint if I lived there. I'm glad I inspired you to go out in the sun, it looks lovely. Incredible to see the postie riding electric too. France must be way ahead of UK in adopting electric bikes in that regards? Wait until you get your conversion...

    Battery prices

    Thanks for the suggestion I will keep it on my list incase nothing turns up in plastic.. How much room do you think the soft sells need to expand? I was planning to have a bit of extra room around them and put some foam in there to cushion them and insulate..also need a bit of space to mount...

    It just so happens, I unwrapped one (I bought two) to see how the cells looked :) Each cell measures 130 (length) x 100 (width) x 6 (height) mm When I asked for 5Ah cube shaped, I was told by the guy who makes these batteries in China that he can make different sizes or configuration and he...
