camera on busa
#26
Well, had a short trial of the new setup and bar some initial problem with the USB cable (chinese made) all seems to be working just fine. The button at the front is easily accesible and you can feel it with the gloves no problems. The mirror is fully usable as well. Best part - 350 grams lighter than the first proto Pi_thumbsup Colision with bugs still a potential issue but that applies to all the cameras without automatic lens wipers Lol3
General comment on the topic. A lot of people mount them to show the speedo so they can brag how fast they were going. (No offence DAZ but a biker with some experience can tell how fast it is without looking at it.) That is OK if they want to do it and risk the cops getting the footage, but there are many things obstracting/distorting the view (like the windshield for example and you restricted to clear ones as well) in comparison with a clear road ahead.
   
   
(That black spot is a dead fly)
That is only my opinion though.
Peter, regarding the GoPro updates - the firmware updates are free and readily downloadable from their site. They fixed a lot of issues and now you can do an upside down (you might notice my camera is mounted that way for better fitment) and one button operation as well. They also have beeping codes to tell you what is happening without the need for the screen or looking at the red light. OK, you need to swith you engine off to hear them but you do not need to take the camera out of the housing really unless you want to change the SD card or the battery.

Cheers, Biker
