Foxy's SWINGARM-Mounted Camera

  

Blue Fox -> Foxy's SWINGARM-Mounted Camera (5/3/2008 11:18:45 PM)

Well...........

I got a hold of a camera mount, and modified it to mount to the swingarm. When I take a left turn at full lean, the camera is less than a 1/4" from the road......so it's a pretty neat little video angle seeing the suspension work and such. I shot the video on one of my favorite roads........but I forgot how rough the road is..........and the fact there was some gravel, so I had a "OH S**T!" moment (clearly visible in the video). And since the road was rough, the camera didn't have the greatest time in the world........but it's just a test video.

MAKE SURE TO CLICK THE "WATCH IN HIGH QUALITY" BUTTON RIGHT UNDER THE VIDEO VIEWS. IT MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE!

^^ Thanks. I just really need to find a way to record audio without all that crappy wind noise. That was the ultimate reason I just threw music over it.

Nice man!! You have a pic of the actual mounting?

Reminds me of home, almost makes me want to come back to the LC.  Good video though.

nice road where is it? i just got a camera system for my bike, it will mount to the front of the bike, the rear or the helmet.
it has a small lcd screen that plays video,mp3's,pictures it's awsome. i'm going on a 5 day ride w/my cousin who has a new harley
i told him i was going to mount the camera on the back so everyone will see how far behind he'll be (ha, ha) he did'nt like that.
but i'm looking for a cool place to make some good video's. NICE WORK!

Very cool foxy[sm=smiley20.gif]

Can you move the camera around to shoot at any any angle or position? You forget how much the suspension works up and down till you see it on video. +1 on the New Mexico scenery in the background....is that the Organ Mountains?

Anyways..cool stuff man

I missed it.... where was your "oh s*it moment" ? Love the quality of the camera, Fox!

Martin_D -> RE: Foxy's SWINGARM-Mounted Camera (5/4/2008 5:22:34 AM)

yea, where was the oh sh*t part?

NY Erion929 -> RE: Foxy's SWINGARM-Mounted Camera (5/4/2008 7:40:36 AM)

^^ I think it was one of the last right turns...he looks like he goes stright for the yellow line then cuts around the gravel...???

As for the mic, try taping a piece of foam over it.. I did it for mine and it worked perfect, but i kept losing audio everytime i uploaded to youtube..

Nauree -> RE: Foxy's SWINGARM-Mounted Camera (5/4/2008 8:15:01 AM)

GD Lean over some more. Baby needs some texture.

rangerscott -> RE: Foxy's SWINGARM-Mounted Camera (5/4/2008 8:15:39 AM)

Put thick foam over the mic, just like they do to reporters/etc.

RedRider07 -> RE: Foxy's SWINGARM-Mounted Camera (5/4/2008 8:36:51 AM)

Looks good, if you don't mind me asking how much did that run you for the camera and mount? Looks like a fun road too!

Dam wish i had some rods like that here in Fl

Give it up track-boy-wanna-be... [:D]

No reason to push it on the streets - having been to a track you should be the first to point that out.  Nothing like a safe, spirited ride through some twisties.
