Drift Ghost fitted to bike and demo run 2nd attempt

So had this for a couple of years and never really got round to using it on my bike. It has a very good suction cup mount which fits nicely on the flat of my tank. It has two hinge points which alter the height and angle in a vertical plane, the suction cup can be placed at any angle in an horizontal plane. I use the remote strap around the top yoke and can stop start recording by pressing the action key with a gloved finger or joggle between photo mode, video mode, photo burst. Lights flash on the remote to let you know what mode you are in. You charge the units up from a usb power power point and get about 20 mins of hd footage. Fully waterproof.

video quality ok I think, but lot of turbulence, I think I did not have the port cap seated properly. apologies for the congested roads we have here.

When the screen opens click the open button not the preview as this is not seamless, the other plays seamlessly.

Nice steady camera. I've got some footage from France last year using a cheapy Aldi camera mounted to the top yoke. The camera wobbled about summit rotten - spoiled the footage really. What do they say? Buy cheap, buy twice... :roll:

Dunno about that, if I can get it mounted securely I will give it a shot.

The bike is completely standard and I am of the opinion that there is absolutely no point in adding the clichéd "Termis" for the sake of it.

so with cam mounted to rhs of nose fairing. great camera mount it has about a 70mm suction cup. clearer picture. but vibey. Can not see a way of eliminating that and not to sure if it bothers me that much. Think that was a small austin healey that was sharing a wonderful evening.
