Greetings Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 (edited) Got a browse-your-computer-in-search-of-old-stuff mood today. Found a very old video of me experimenting with mounting a camera on my neck and riding some pallets at night. A bit shaky... All I can remember is that it was very uncomfortable, the lens weighs over 2x more than the camera and I was suffocating all the time . Still got the setup somewhere, might give it a go when I finish my exams. x0.45 lens, doesn't make things look silly yet still gives a decent view. tv.isg -> fpp_trialsMade a quicky today to see what could be improved Need to mount the camera on my helmet.tv.isg -> fpp_120606 Edited June 12, 2006 by Inur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobnobs Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 Tis really cool, but need some way to make it smoother! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omgnoseat Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 that looked pretty nice but i think it would be better if the camera was positioned a bit more towards your bars instead of your feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backgren Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 awesome! Ive been trhinking about that for ages, just didn't want the whole camera sitting on my shoulder, or something like that. Shame it's really expensive to get one of those remote camera thingys, just the lens and CCD in a small thing, and a cord (or wireless sender) to the cam itself so it can save the footage. Would be cool to have a play around with one of them.awesome! Ive been trhinking about that for ages, just didn't want the whole camera sitting on my shoulder, or something like that.

Greetings Posted June 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Haha cheers for the comments people Went out today to do a bit of riding, used the old setup but couldn't find the conversion I used previously so the lens is an x0.6 Backgren - a camera you're talking about would be wonderful, but as you say it's just too expensive to buy purely for a few hours of use. I saw however in Jib by Thor Wixom a few trials shots from a camera like that mounted on the chainstays. It looked great, dead still - no shaking what so ever!!
