MG,
I had read somewhere that in some circumstances, the gopro images or video can be shaky due to too much light. This forces the shutter speed way up which shows up as a wobbly image (remember, no mechanical shutter, it records pixel by pixel, line by line) or jumpy video. Conversely, if theres not enough light, the shutter speed is slower, thus inducing blur.
I can go into more detail if you want, but id rather not type that all up on my phone, nor while im trying to fall asleep lol. (Photography is my living)
Hey Stephen, any feedback on how your GoPro mount is holding up? Anything you would have done differently?
Also, a tip of the helmet to MGValeri and his quirky tinkering.
A word to the wise: If the GoPro is mounted somewhere out of sight on the bike, dummy cord it. Or else, you end up looking like a dummy. Had my Hero 3 Black mounted on one of the adhesive mounts just above and between the headlights. Didn't have the little white rubber plug installed, and didn't have the mount otherwise dummy-corded. Arrived at work and the camera wasn't there. >:( yeah, that was a $400 'oops'. Of course if the camera is mounted where you can see it, at least you can limit your search to something more specific than the 'somewhere in the 17 miles between the house and the office'...
On the upside, I had a legit reason to upgrade to the Hero 3+ Black.
...this is a neat mount I made for filming some ZX10R fun. Granted, that's a dinosaur GoPro original camera, so the sound is a little bit on the awful side. I can start/stop it on the move, but I imagine a short person would not be able to.Damn Spaz, you must have a wingspan to reach that.
Still, it has absolutely killer sensation of speed and lean angles; it looks like it's flat on the ground in left handers.
