Your Own, You Tube Videos..post Them Here

Found this today @Hippo-Drones



Nice bike did you custom the clocks, what else have you done?

 

Thanks. The clocks, bars, levers, headlight, front forks, front mudguard, wheels, exhaust, paint, frame chop, seat, rear light, rear shocks, and subframe. Here is a vid showing around it:

 

just opened this vid up in my YouTube feed, you are so lucky with your roads up in Scotland, such amazing scenery and bloody fantastic twiddles to play on!

 

I agree HD- I love the twiddles nearly as much as the twisties

 

you'll go blind!

I have a DJI Mavic Pro, it is pretty cool, and very compact as the arms fold inwards for storage

 

Excellent stuff, cheers.

 

Just found this thread and will need to spend more time and work my way through the vids properly - looks like some great stuff in here.

Meantime, her's one of mine from my recent tour of the Vosges region of France.

 

Inspiring stuff

 

Love that road ( don’t do it that quick though)

One of the guys on our tour has just posted this video of the week, which includes some drone footage (same model as Hippo-drones) and makes mine look a bit amateur. There's a couple of shots of me (Union Jack braces and long blond hair) and a bit of my footage in there.

 

Some cool effects in that, how did you get the telemetry overlays?

 

I have no idea. I did ask him, but I've not had a reply yet - I think his cam has built in GPS and lots of other whistles and bells though.

 

Yes they do and theoretically they can follow a vehicle with no input from the driver - slowly!

 

The DJI Mavic Pro can fly at 40mph, but it can only track and follow up to 25mph. I also doubt you would find a TDO that would allow you to fly a drone over an active trackday.
If you had the drone at max height and it was able to maintain a track on a bike it might just be able to keep up, but at 120m height, you'd not get a great perspective on the action.

 

they don't currently track via GPS though, they use optical sensors in the camera software. I can't wait for a firmware upgrade to allow it to track the controller via GPS

 

On the GoPro Hero 5 and Hero 6 you can change the field of view. When I did my Brands Hatch GP trackday on the 765 I changed from Superview to Medium which helps make lean angles look better when mounted on the bike. I use Superview on my helmet though as it shows the leaves and shrubbery to the sides of the bike well which move faster then the view as you narrow the view down. So selecting the field of view will make a big difference to how fast it looks like you are travelling and like you say, mounting low will add a sense of speed too in the same way as the road below will be moving faster than the view further ahead. Try experimenting with the settings!

 

Lots of options to mount the Gopro (this is the Hero3), but I have found it best to mount to fairing/bodywork via adhesive mount as this is less prone to vibration than when mounted to frame. The video below uses 2 diffrent mounting points on my old Daytona 600, one on the upper fairing LHS and one on the lower right, using different mounting brackets to change angle of view - too low to use on a track day though!

 

telemetry overlays are a standard feature in the gopro hero 5 and 6 black, but you need to download gopro quik to access it.
I need to upgrade my cams now.....
