Action Camera Thread

As recommended by someone on here at some point in time, but can't be arsed to find it, so thanks @...................., it is a bloody good buy.

Geekam, £34.90 on Amazon, 32Gb card at £5.05, so under £40 for a cracin wee bit of kit.

 

That's it. Picture quality is even watchable on my 49" telly, and the sound is great, have to turn volume right down when playing it on the telly. Mini HDMI socket on the camera, plays straight onto the screen.

 

The reviews are saying about 1.5 hrs on a battery, which is plenty, plus you get 2 batteries with it. Get 2 'helmet' sticker bases, a wee tripod and a handlebar clamp, plus a remote control! Which actually works!

The wi-fi doesn't seem the best, tried to connect to the app on my phone but not behaving itself. Not that that's a deal breaker for me, can't see me needing that. When filming it will be on the KTM or the Mini, so won't be playing with my phone. Will try again, once I've learned how to do everything.

 

Found it -


So cheers to @Tony Rokins

 

I had a cheap bullet camera a few years ago, the picture was so wibbly~wobbly it made you sick trying to watch it. They have come on so far. Picture quality was 1080 on that clip, can go up to 4k, will also have to give it a go.

I'm not a great one for making bike video's but I will chuck this on the Tuono for fun, and definitely going to try on the KTM. If I'm sober enough tomorrow (Mates coming around with a brick), I'll take it out on the KTM, for a try.

 

As the title suggests, all your action camera chat, banter, advice, editing, equipment and what you have filmed, if nowhwere better to put it.

 

So can sharks


But only when your wet

 

Tried the camera attached to the bars of my KTM last week, picture too shoogly to watch, so tried again, this time on my helmet.
Once bored of fire road, Fast Forward to 2:30 for the good bit



This is a sweep of the beach in 1080p


This is a seep in 4K.


4K is only 10fps, so does look a bit 'juddery', think I'll stick to the 1080p.

 

Wow! @ 2:30 as you crested the hill and saw the loch was amazing - then for a ride on the beach - how romantic!

Seems like a great camera for the money!

 

in 3 years, met 1 fella, he was cool about it when told we were all legal. Not enough of us doing it, to be a problem. I only go up at weekends, so chance s of meeting someone in those huge forests has got to be tiny.

Yes, Grannoch. Beautiful spot, Favourite place on earth.

 

Got 32gb on Amazon for £5 !!!
