[QUOTE="Monkeypants, post: 147021, member: 2708"] I've made a few motorcycle video clips with a Smartphone and the quality was consistently poor. One Youtube user asked " What did you film with, a potato?" So I did some reading about GoPros and watched a lot of Video made on GoPros 1 to 10. I couldn't see any improvement in video quality after the GoPro 3 Black came out in 2013, so I bought one for $30. The newer GoPros have video stabilization which makes it seem as though every road is paved to perfection. I don't mind seeing a few bumps now and then. It gives a better sense of what the rider feels. The camera , as it is set, flattens the hill quite a bit. This hill is roughly twice as steep as the steepest mountain highway grade in BC/Washington/Idaho/Montana. I still have to work on the sound to reduce wind noise. An external mic should help. This is the little 650ss running up Dyno Hill. I get the same speed result at top on the GPS every time, unless a tuning change is made. Unlike a dyno, the hill never changes. The weather does though so I just run on 60-70 f degree days. That variation in temp doesn't result in any change in speed. I have calibrated the hill by adding weight to the bike and noting speed change. 1 kmh change at top = .8 bhp for a bike of this weight. Glen [MEDIA=youtube]LxIvjsHgjFk[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
