So I’ve made a couple more proper vids now, one of Charming Creek, and one of Cape Foulwind Walkway. I still have a bit more tweaking to do, and I really need to mount the camera on the handle bars.

Also, I can’t beleive how much awesomer Vimeo’s interface is compared to Youtube. Hopefully they’re going to be around for a long time to come, cause their site is awesome.

Cape Foulwind:

Pretty quick vid, a blast around the Seal Colony. Can’t get to extreme as a lot of tourists.

Charming Creek:

Long, admittantly boring vid. Needs more cowbell/action. Cool tunnel shots though. They actually were that dark, that’s not just the camera :P

So after much stuffing around over the space of a couple of years, I finally purchased a Helmet Cam, the GoPro Motorsports HERO Expansion off TradeMe.

All and all, pretty much what I expected. Not the best video/sound quality in the world, but I’ll take it places I wouldn’t take a thousand+ dollar camera.

Here’s a couple of clips I’ve made. First one was a thrash through the Millenium Walkway with the camera on my helmet, where half way through I realised I hadn’t started the recording yet, and I also had it pointed down too much:

Second one was with it mounted as far back as possible on the bike, again, I didn’t realise my leg would be in the way, heh. I think tomorrow I’ll go for on the handle bars somehow:

Very awesome piece of kit, now I just need to get my JetSki working so I can test it in the River/Ocean
