Themistoklidis Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 helmet cam = no good for trials.I couldnt even watch half the vid!Looked like a stop motion clip or something... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanJohnstone Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 The quality comes out better than I expected dude, watched it on my phone when you first uploaded. True it's super skakey, especially 'because it's sped up, but I enjoyed it dude Your 360's look best so I agree the helmet cam has it's place as part of a vid Hope that's a bit more constructive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew62 Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Really horrid to watch and removes any chance of enjoying the no doubt good riding that was going down. If you're going to use the helmet cam use it for things like 360's or keep your head steady. Constantly looking around and what not makes the video unwatchable.

fish cake Posted March 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 ok cool, will take your advice and see what i can do with the next video. this was the first time i had even used the head cam let alone for riding so was purely an experiment. and also a bit of a chuckle for the people involved. and its always good to have things to look back on and work from. so a go pro will be next on my order and some bigger and better things will come the next time i post a head cam video. thanks for the comments.

CriminalTrials.co.uk Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 couldnt watch that for longer than about 3 seconds in any part of the video. Too shakey imo. As said before, try not to look around so much if your using a helmet cam. Also even without the shake i think the cam is pointed up too much, its not capturing what your actually doing very well. Can it be tilted down at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miles Mallinson Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 I would of mounted the camera on the chainstay or the bars like the new Shrewsbury inspired video gives a better effect and alot steadier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Jones Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Thanks for taking the time to make it, but I literally couldn't watch it. Because of the rolling shutter these cameras use (my GoPro cameras are guilty of it too) you get the motion blur because you were moving too much... speeding it up will make this worse. Some advice I would give would be to only use the helmet camera for short clips. Mount it to your frame looking at the chain or pedals. You can set the camera up on a small tripod and get different angles for videos shot on a better camera for example... make sure the camera isn't pointing at bright light (sky, sun) as the exposure settings automatically close the iris so you can't see what's going on in the video clips it records. Hopefully what I've said helps and makes sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
