i picked up a gopro camera, who has em and how did you mount it on your bike?

[miker]

 









silly boy

[naitram]

my point exactly.... need to see how others have done it

[miker]

I dont unnerstand anything, gopro, zumo, nuttn...

[naitram]

its a fancy camera

[JCZ]

Is that the GoPro HD?

I started a thread awhile back..........  http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?topic=43182.0

[naitram]

yes its the HD

[JCZ]

yes its the HD

Looking forward to your posts of some videos.

A lot of the sport bike riders use them over on the Pashnit forum.  You'd think a lot more touring riders would have them.  Having said that, I still don't have one.

[naitram]

once i figure out how i'm mounting it i'll post some pics and vids

[Ron Hawkins]

Naitram, I got mine at SEMA last year .Also got the bar mount kit  which allows me to mount the camera to my crash bar . I normally mount mine on the right side of the bike. Have only taken 3 videos so far File sizes get huge fast !! 15 mins is 2 GB !

I'll look for pics of mine mounted.

[naitram]

thanks Ron

[Dan_Lockwood]

Glad you bit the bullet and bought one.

I've been researching these to death.  I want to get the GoPro HD, but they've said they are coming out with a Backpac LCD that will let you "see" what you're recording to setup the point and shoot direction.  It was supposed to hit in March and now it's almost August and still no LCD Backpac.  They also said they would have a H/D battery Backpac that snaps to the rear bus as well.

I've also been looking at the Contour by Vholdr.  I actually like it a little better but the mic on them sucks the big one; anything over about 5 mph and all you hear is wind noise.  But they are a bit more looks friendly and offer the same HD resolution and is water resistant, but not water proof like the GoPro.

I think the view angle on the GoPro HD is 127 or 135 degrees.  This is a narrower view angle than their standard camera and gives less "fisheye" affect on the video.

I read early on that the thumb screws on the GoPro mount is not that good and even with pliers they tend to loosen up.  The one review I read many months ago the guy said he had to use some other mount to get it to hold.  I'm sure by now though that they have that kink worked out.

Please post when you have something.  I'm looking forward to your report.

    

[Ron Hawkins]

Naitram, here is the mount i use . and where it is mounted.

[Ron Hawkins]

right side of bike

[naitram]

i think i'm going to use a techmount off the handlebars to position the gopro just over the outside edge of the fairing

[naitram]

techmount finally arrived, mount it on left side looking over the fairing

[naitram]

with the camera on it

[naitram]

co-worker was playing with the camera while i did the install

last one, will post some more after the ride home tonight

[mrmagloo]

I thought most guys just duct taped them to their foreheads!   

[naitram]

well not sure it will be staying on the bars where i have it, it added a lot of vibration in the bars

[Fired00d]

Nope........Dood's the only that does that.

Very nice Neal.  Looks like the still shots are wide angle.  Is the video shot in wide angle also?
Isn't it supposed to have a vibration isolator built in?

[naitram]

uploading a vid to youtube now, lots of vibration, if i take my hand off the left grip it starts bouncing around like crazy

[naitram]

as you can see in this clip lots of vibration

[naitram]

moved the techmount down to the front crash bar, seems much more solid, but i snapped one of the mounting screws   

[naitram]

you can also see in the picture i added a safety loop just in case the camera were to pop out of the mounting clip

[naitram]

more of a front tire POV now

[naitram]

still a bit of vibration but thats in the mounting clip, will look at swaping that out

[greglyon]

Very cool. Was that locusts or front brake hitting the rotor?

[Buy early]

Very cool neal. Will watch this thread to see the progress.

[captain_jeb]

Thanks for "stepping out" and updating us on the progress.

[hard10]

Any suggestions as where to mount the Go Pro camera? I'm afraid to mount it using the suction cup on the paint. Anyone have a  picture of it mounted?
TIA,
AJ

[naitram]

merged this with my thread

[hard10]

merged this with my thread

So where did you get the Techmount? You liked the crash bar mount better? Did you try the suction cup mount?

[Dan_Lockwood]

I've really been holding off on getting a camera, GoPro is my first choice when I cut loose.  Have any of you heard about the LCD backpac or the battery backpac yet from GoPro?  They were supposed to release these back in March, but it only says "coming soon" on the website.  This is what I've been waiting for before I buy.  If they don't come up with these, I may turn my directions more to the vHoldr Contour HD camera.

Have either or you guys tried the helmet mount?  Most of the videos shown on all the websites use a body mounted location, chest or helmet.  I would think the vibration goes down a lot at that point.  I like the helmet POV because it can be directed to specific objects without pointing your bike to record the object.

Thanks for posting the different mounting location videos.

have not tried the helmet mount, and still waiting on the backpacs. i'm getting about 4 hrs of usage taking still shots every 30 seconds. only done short video clips so far

So where did you get the Techmount? You liked the crash bar mount better? Did you try the suction cup mount?

can usually find good deals on techmounts on ebay, or order direct from techmount. didnt try the suction mount. not sure i would trust it or where i would attach it.
started on the bars but the combo of the GPS and the camera was too much on the bar and caused alot of vibration

[hard10]

Has anyone used the Ram mount?

[hard10]

Sometimes I'm soooo much smarter than I look!  I searched the garage for the box that the GoPro came in and low & behold, I ordered the "expansion part" accessory kit (Ride hero # 424291) when I first placed my order. There's the clamp mount! Now all I have to do is wait for the dealership to give me my bike back & I'll set it up.

[Chains]

Neat way to photogragh your rides, good job 

[naitram]

still a bit of vibration but thats in the mounting clip, will look at swaping that out

changed to the tripod mount, seems to have less vibration now

[naitram]

ive contacted gopro and asked about a mount thats AMPS compatible

i have the tripod mount on a motorcycle using a flat surface that has a standard 4 hole AMPS pattern, i switched to this after finding the quick release clip vibrated too much. what about making a mount that fits the standard 4 hole pattern? this would allow a gopro to be mounted onto an existing GPS/radar detector/Cell phone/etc.... mount. you could make bout a horizontal and a vertical mount for this. thanks

received a reply a few hours later

Hello Neal,

Thanks for your suggestion. You arent the first person to suggest this for mounting.  We take these requests seriously and forward them to our engineers.  The greater number of requests receive the better change it makes it to production.  Thanks for your input.

Many Thanks,

GoPro Support

[SBB]

So I guess the answer is no.

[hard10]

Neal, what program are you using to edit the .MP4 files? I have the file from MV10 and tried posting it to YouTube but it says it too big at 30 minutes. Any way to cut it down?

[naitram]

havent found any good ones yet, i try and keep my vid down to less then 15 minutes and just upload them unedited

[hard10]

sorry, i used a simple file splitter along time ago bout couldn't remember what it was when i went looking for it

  I'm using VLC media player. Although I haven't tried any editing.

[Dan_Lockwood]

Naitram, I finally bit the bullet too.  I bought a Gopro HD Motorsports model which has all the same mounts as your first "What's in the box" picture.

I only had a 4gb class 2 SD card and used it at first, but didn't get what I thought was a good result.  I got choppy/jerky frames even though I was using my helmet mount, which was really quite steady.  I also had the suction mount on the front left of my SERG fairing as I thought it was very smooth while riding.  Little did I know it would shake so bad at idle.

I thought my issues were the class 2 SD card so I ordered a 32gb class 6 SDHC card and tried that this past Saturday.  It seems like every second or so, very repeatable in the timeline, it like skips a few frames and then jumps forward.  Also even though I've been using the helmet mount which they say is quite good for smoothness in recording, I'm still getting some focusing issues.  None of my videos have looked as clear as the test ones you've posted.

I've been reading that lots of people are getting this choppy video thing and most attribute it to their PC not having the guts to process quickly enough.  I've got a dual core 2.6 ghz speed with a video card with 2 gig of on board memory along with 4 gig of ram on the motherboard.  I would think that I have the processing power to do the job.

I'm wondering if I have a bad camera.  I've read LOTS of reviews and some have not been the best for the Gopro.  I liked the features of the Gopro but the Vholdr Contour seemed to have a better review rate with the different independent reviewers, but it sucked on the mic and the unit was not waterproof.

So has anyone here had the choppy / jerky video I'm getting?  I've sent a couple support e-mails to Gopro and I'll see what happens from them.

Naitram, I have the curved slide mounts on my helmet, one on the left side and one on front.  The front one I did Saturday to try and get a better view being higher and now not having the helmet in the corner of the video frame.  I slid in the bracket that has the curved up mount that uses the three little screws to bolt it together.  I slid it into the curved mount before I stuck it to the helmet and while sliding it apart one of the little locking ears broke off in my fingers.  So I tried one of the other bracket and it locked into place.  But... it was very loose in the curved sticky slide mount.  It wobbled about and I had to take an old credit card type of material and cut a shim and use it in the top just before the bracket bottomed out in the slide mount.  When done this way there is no slop in the bracket and mount.  Any of the new slide mounts I have when the bracket is slid in, has slop in them.  I think the fit is very poor and this cannot help on vibration in the videos.

How does your brackets fit into the slide mounts?  Loose or tight?

I'm enjoying my quest to get through the rough stuff with mounts etc like you've been working through.  Although it looks dorky to have the Gopro out front on the helmet, it does give a lot of viewing experience to the video because you can turn your head and capture whatever you turn your head to look at, unlike a cycle mounted camera.

Sorry for the length of this, I'm just thinking out loud a lot and writing down my thoughts or questions.

I think these new cameras will be great once we get them figured out.

Thank you for your information to date, it's been very enlightening.

Thanks again.

Dan

[naitram]

Dan, i to broke one of the quick release clips. since moving to the tripod mount the camera is much more stable on the bike. a bit more work to mount it when i want to use it, but worth the trouble.

i sent a email to gopro support asking them to make AMPS compatible mounts they said others have asked for this and if there is enough interest they would probally do it.

my thought was since i already have a techmount on the crash bar i would then have a very stable mount for the gopro.

depending on when your camera was packaged it might not have the most up to date firmware on it. might want to check into that for the choppy video issue

Naitram, thanks for the reply.

Yes, I did the latest updated firmware to include the new UP/DWN as well as the streaming option etc.

I really thought my fairing was quite stable, even at idle, but when I had the Gopro mounted on the end of the suction mount, it vibrated so much my wife got excited...

I've watched your videos several times and I'm not sure I like the down low POV.  Maybe if I had a more stable mount that the long suction mount, the fairing position might be okay.  Although with the helmet mount, you do have the flexibility to direct your POV to capture wildlife etc.

So, have you had any choppy / jerky videos?  I've use everything but the 60fps mode and they all have the same evenly spaced jerk in the video.  Of course if I'm sitting still the video looks better.

I'll let you know what Gopro says on my two support e-mails this past weekend.

Thanks again for sharing this information.

Dan

[naitram]

only video mode i have used is the 720 30FPS never had the problem you have

[Dan_Lockwood]

Thanks.

Did you by chance have loose fitting slide in brackets in your stick on slide mounts?

[naitram]

the clip that broke was pretty snug, but another one was on the loose side. did you push the white spacer in after you clipped in?

[Dan_Lockwood]

the clip that broke was pretty snug, but another one was on the loose side. did you push the white spacer in after you clipped in?

I've done it both ways, with / without.  The slide in bracket rocks lengthwise within the slide mount.  I ended up sliding a plastic shim (old credit card) under the trailing edge of the slide bracket just as it was about to snap in place.  With the little thin shim it locks in really tight and there is no motion on the slide bracket to slide mount.

Thanks.

Naitram, I had mentioned back in November that with my Gopro and my computer that when reviewing the footage it would buffer up to about 2 seconds and then jump forward.  All my videos regardless of resolution were the same.  I contacted the support people and they said that it was still probably my PC that was the issue.

I have since upgraded to a Radeon HG 5570 with 1gb of DDR3 memory and I still have the jerky issues.  The PC is a HP duo core 4200 with XP and 4gb of DDR2 ram.  Even after the upgrades, it's still jerky.

I now have the LCD Backpack and that does just fine on replays so I hooked it up to my Mitsubishi DLP 73" via the mini HDMI cable and it played great without any jerky buffering at all.  So the bottom line my PC, even as fast and well equipped I thought it was, is not good enough.

I just broke loose with some cash and had a new PC built for me, should pick it up tomorrow afternoon.  I got the Gigabyte X58 UD3R motherboard, Intel C i7 950, Corsair DDR3 12gb 3x4 1333, Corsair 600T case, GeForce GTX460 1gb DDR5, Thermalake TR2 RX750w PSU, LG 10x Blu-Ray/DVD/CD lightsribe burner,Hauppauge HVR-2250 dual HD/Analog tuner with dual recorder capabilities and to transmit to the home receiver a Iogear wireless HDMI module/receiver.  I hope to incorporate this more into my home entertainment center.

With all this new gear I better be able to make a darn video without any jerky buffering of the video.

I hope to start using my Gopro more often now.  I didn't get mine until just about the end of last season.  I have a Youtube account, how do I insert a Youtube clip in the forum?

Thanks for all the advice last year.  Have you done anything to your mounts or Gopro that would help a newbie like me?  I will say the LCD Backpack has been a big help in getting the camera set correctly.

Later...

    

[naitram]

i bought a new mount i found on line and modified my techmount to fit with it, havent been able to ride yet but its a much more rigid mount now and i dont feel like i could loose the camera





i removed the bottom piece and attached the top piece to my techmount

[naitram]

not a great pic but you get the idea

[naitram]

there is a youtube button above the smileys you can use that and put the URL of the youtube page in it

[Dan_Lockwood]

That's a great looking new mount for the Gopro.  It looks much more substantial than anything that Gopro offers.

Thanks.

[Mr. Warlock]

Are you able to pull stills out of the vids?

[naitram]

Are you able to pull stills out of the vids?

you can do stills or video

[Envithyx]

Are you able to pull stills out of the vids?

Read the thread, didn't even know it was here.

Not 100% addressing just the top question, but a few others that I caught.  My thoughts might be a bit out of order here...

I'm using PowerDirector 10 to edit the vids, and it has a built in button that you can pull stills out of the video for the times you didn't use the cam in picture mode.  Not too expensive and has a ton of capability.  Also has the ability to render the project directly to Facebook or Youtube, etc...  However, the better way to go is to have two cams.  One in video and one in stills. 

So far all my source material is from the GoPro Hero at 720p 60fps, but just swapped the cameras out for the new Hero 2, still not sure what mode I'll use.

Oh, and as for mounting, I've tried a few places.  Had not had issue with using the suction cup mount on the back corner of the tourpack.  Too much vibration if stuck to the saddle bag, although the pov was much better.  I've used the handle bar mount, the roll cage mount, even got the vented helmet strap wrapped around the tourpack rack.  I'll try to get some shots of mounting points on each bike for this thread later.

Been thinking of using the ram mounts listed on another forum (JC's alternate pastime).  For now trying a ton of locations.  Ultimately I'd like to have 3 or 4 of these things so I can get different pov to edit from.  One forward, one backwards, maybe one looking back at myself, and one for misc uses like stills, burst shots (teathered to my neck), chest mount...  I am toying with the helmet mount, but have not yet come to think I'll like having it stuck to my head.

So far my default mode of use on the springer is one mounted on the eng. guard for forward, and one mounted to the sissy bar peg looking backwards.

For the Ultra, having one mounted to the tourpack rack using the vented helmet strap (will have to get a pic to show how I got it on there) to allow the cam to shoot backward or off to the side (for scenic stills).  The other I've got on the suction cup so I can move it around on the go for more pov for final edit (tourpack, windshield, even stuck it right on the leading edge of the fairing which held at all speeds just below 100).  If you use the suction cup, after cleaning surface, I use some purple slice, I spray a slight bit of it into the suction cup before mounting.  Really helps it hold.  I've got a teather just in case tied to the mount in any case.  Also have not seen it mar my paint, leave any rings, etc, but I don't leave it stuck to the paint.

Ramble off...

I really got to stop posting when I'm tired. lol 

[Widows Son]

Love the GoPro HD. Mounted it on the handelbars and had lots of vibration but then moved to the engine guard and it worked great. Here is a link to several videoas with music of a trip we made to the Three Sisters in the hill country in Texas.


http://www.4shared.com/folder/7H97zWcf/Bandera_2011.html

I also bought a spare battery pack and used a usb charger in the 12V charger to charge the spare battery and swapped batteries as needed. A friend of mine mounted it up high above the tourpack - awesome view when its 4 feet in the air.

I tried various modes: 1080 than 720 (the Canyon ride - which worked well). Also tried a reverse cam look. BTW, 720 eliminates a significant amount of vibration...

[kerb]

once i figure out how i'm mounting it i'll post some pics and vids

You could always mount it to the top of your helmet.
Don't laugh; I know a guy who did just that.  He will probably never get laid again.

Oh we get some riding in during the winter, it was 60 hear yesterday, but not in the areas I like to ride they spread to much sand on the back roads and I'm not ridge riding even if there was no snow, that guy was nuts!!

had the battery act strange out west last summer, think it was heat related but its been working fine since i got home from that trip. got a nice video on the dragon

Nice! We have our own version of the Dragon out here a back road up in the hills between the Poudre Canyon and a little town by me called Masonville, a few of the turns are posted at 10 and 15 MPH, plus it's some beautiful scenery. It one of the places I want to take the GoPro. So the bar mount was to big for you crash bars?

with the lowers on i dont think the gopro bar mount will work

[stingray69]

Just a quick note for you gopro users.  In one of the extension packs that go pro sells (separate from the handlebar paks of course) is a odd shaped white rubber piece.  This rubber piece fits into the pinch locking mechanism.  The round loop part goes over the thumb screw.  This stops the mounts from opening up, the screw loosening off and reduces vibration.  Hope this helps someone.

I figured out what that white piece was in my Motorsports Go Pro kit, but have not used it, I probably should.  What I did find was that the male mount clips once into the socket fits loose.  The post will move around quite a bit creating more vibration in the video.  Maybe the white safety piece will help that out, not sure.  What I had to do was I cut up an old credit or freebie card of some type and slid a small strip under the male mount when sliding it into the mount.  This worked as a wedge and took all the vibration out of the post mount and inproved my videos.  Maybe the male clip needs to be loose to slide in, but not that loose.

[Mano]

Hello naitram.

How did this mounting set up hold up. I am thinking of getting the Go-pro Hero2 and using the same mounting system.

[naitram]

its held up well for me, sadunbar did a similar setup using a slightly different swivel mount. looks like a cleaner looking install

[Mano]

Just wondering.....at 1080 res. on a 32 GB SD Card how many hours of video do you get with the GoPro?

Also does the battery actually last 2.5 hours? I am thinking of also getting the Battery BAC PAC for the extra battery life.

[naitram]

i run at 720p to get widescreen video, ive never let it run indefinitely. the longest single video i did was about 19 minutes and was 1.1GB

when running in picture mode taking pics every 30 seconds the battery has lasted about 3.5 hrs

[Hdolfje]

Some low budget mounting solutions for the gopro on my 2011 FLHXSE2. It's very hard to mount te camera in front of the bike. Here are some things i came up with

[Hdolfje]

details

[Hdolfje]

Front II

[Hdolfje]

Just stick it next to the headlight. There's a small flat piece on the batwing. The result on top of the batwing are al bit shaky

[Hdolfje]

At the rear of the bike. I used the piece of plastic on top of the box the camera came with.

[Hdolfje]

Details just 4 holes en 2 tieraps

[Hdolfje]

last one

[FAST380]

Can you tell the GoPro that it is mounted upside down, so when you view it, it doesn't playback upside down?

[naitram]

yes, there is a setting for that

[Hdolfje]

If you need to mount your camera upside down, you can set the camera to save
the photo or video upside down so that it appears right side up when you review
it on your computer or TV. This eliminates the need to “flip” the photo or video
later on your computer.

[Eagle Eye]

Nice!    This is a very stealth way to install and record too.  It will also shade the lens from the sun more.  To what did you attach it?

[Hdolfje]

Just stick it next to the headlight. There's a small flat piece on the batwing. Use the standard flat adhesive mount.

[4545]

I know this is a old thread !! Wandering about any updates on mounting? I'm going on a 11K miles trip and I'm going to use the Gopro Hero4 silver. Questions of how you would turn it on and off unless it's on the handlebars ?? Really looking for a bar mount for the CVO Limited that goes above or to the side of the fairing. I also need to be able to turn on and off. Not stopping unless for gas on most days !!
  Again...many Thanks

[Dan_Lockwood]

I've seen the new micro SD card at 128g now available in a Class 10.  They advertise that it will work in any high capacity class 10 camera.

Have anyone of you tried the new 128g in a 64g camera?

How many hours of video are you guys getting on a 64g card?

I have a Black 3+ will be recording in standard 1080P, unless there's a better rate to record.  Any suggestions for bike use on frame rate that these have available now?

Just wondering.

Did not go through every post of this thread but another option is a company named Hogtag Collar makes clamps that go on the upper fork.  You turn the camera on either with a WiFi app or a GoPro remote if your camera has one.  They also make usb power sources that replace the standard battery.

I know this is a old thread !! Wandering about any updates on mounting? I'm going on a 11K miles trip and I'm going to use the Gopro Hero4 silver. Questions of how you would turn it on and off unless it's on the handlebars ?? Really looking for a bar mount for the CVO Limited that goes above or to the side of the fairing. I also need to be able to turn on and off. Not stopping unless for gas on most days !!
  Again...many Thanks

Look at a RAM mount that attaches to the handlebars with a long arm extension. You can find on eBay.

The Ram mount looks like a good fit. Anyone know what the height is of the unit is ? I'm sure it would have to be at a angle as well.
Thanks again
