| ebel | yes good point | 11:30 |

| slashtommy | what's your plan? | 11:45 |
| ebel | They have a plan. | 11:47 |

| czajkowski | oh cool | 11:48 |
| czajkowski | um no idea | 11:48 |

| czajkowski | thanks :) | 11:55 |
| czajkowski | ebel: slashtommy do either of ye havea camera fitted to your helmet for when ye bike around? any recommendations? | 13:55 |
| ebel | czajkowski: yes that's how we take the vidfeos | 13:55 |
| slashtommy | http://youtube.com/slashtomeu | 13:56 |
| czajkowski | nods | 13:56 |
| czajkowski | http://www.amazon.co.uk/Drift-HD170-Stealth-Action-Camera/dp/B004L5AF4Q/ref=dp_cp_ob_ce_title_2 | 13:56 |
| czajkowski | dont know much | 13:56 |
| * slashtommy wants to see a picture of czajkowski on a hog | 13:56 | |
| czajkowski | was wondering whats what | 13:56 |
| czajkowski | slashtommy: no chance the biy likes his bikes | 13:56 |
| czajkowski | me no so much | 13:56 |
| slashtommy | ebel knows more | 13:56 |
| czajkowski | http://www.amazon.co.uk/Contour-GPS-Full-Helmet-Camera/dp/B00426DQ2W/ref=dp_cp_ob_ce_title_3 seems to be everywhere or at least the brand si | 13:57 |
| slashtommy | you should get on the bike ;) | 13:57 |
| czajkowski | nope | 13:57 |
| czajkowski | not a hope in hells chance that will ever ever happen :) | 13:57 |
| slashtommy | tis fun, what does he ride? | 13:57 |
| * slashtommy will let ebel post a link to the camera we use | 13:58 | |
| czajkowski | um | 13:58 |
| czajkowski | a I know it's big | 13:58 |
| czajkowski | and it's a bmw | 13:58 |
| czajkowski | and he's selling his suzuki | 13:58 |
| ebel | we have one of these http://driftinnovation.com/hd170-action-camera/ | 13:58 |
| slashtommy | that reminds me, i have more video of wicklow that i still need to edit | 13:58 |
| slashtommy | on SD mode it works in wide-angle mode - major improvement and makes the video appear to be normal speed | 13:59 |
| ebel | czajkowski: yeah the drift if the one we have | 14:00 |
| slashtommy | if you're not in wide-angle mode, you miss out on the peripherial vision which then makes all the video seem much slower than real life | 14:00 |
| ebel | brb | 14:00 |
| czajkowski | nods | 14:00 |
| czajkowski | so I should buy a SD card also with it ? | 14:00 |
| slashtommy | cztab: are you bring your boy back home? | 14:01 |
| czajkowski | aye for xmas | 14:01 |
| slashtommy | you would need a few SD cards | 14:01 |
| slashtommy | and i take it that this questioning is for xmas... ;) | 14:01 |
| czajkowski | yup | 14:01 |
| czajkowski | ok so max size is 32 | 14:01 |
| czajkowski | how many hrs would that get you ? | 14:02 |
| slashtommy | many | 14:02 |
| * ebel returns | 14:02 | |
| slashtommy | battery would probably get you first | 14:02 |
| ebel | yes you'll need a SD card with it | 14:02 |
| czajkowski | ok | 14:02 |
| ebel | we have a 16GB one, it takes about 5 hours of footage | 14:02 |
| slashtommy | ebel is best to advise, all i know is that you're best to stick with SD | 14:02 |
| czajkowski | ok they're on amazon for about 29 | 14:02 |
| czajkowski | so not too bad | 14:02 |
| ebel | the drift does several resolutions, 480, 1020ish and 1280 | 14:02 |
| czajkowski | will have a look more and see if its worthwhile | 14:02 |
| czajkowski | thanks for the info lads | 14:03 |
| ebel | sorry 480, 720, 1280 | 14:03 |
| ebel | 1280 is HD | 14:03 |
| slashtommy | http://youtube.com/slashtomeu - all those videos are shot with that camera in SD | 14:03 |
| ebel | we usually use 720 which is DVD quality | 14:03 |
| ebel | if it's in 720 then it has a 170 degree field of view, basically wide angle | 14:03 |
| ebel | if it's 1280 then it's like normal | 14:03 |
| czajkowski | nods | 14:03 |
| czajkowski | ok | 14:04 |
| czajkowski | cheers :D | 14:04 |
| ebel | we always use 720 with the windangle | 14:04 |
| ebel | you can see here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/rorymccann/5822416632/in/set-72157626938588538/ | 14:04 |
| ebel | actually | 14:05 |
| ebel | i'm a bit confused, might be getting mized up | 14:05 |
| ebel | anwyays the wide angle is great | 14:05 |
| ebel | cause it means you really don't have to aim it | 14:05 |
| slashtommy | aye | 14:05 |
| ebel | About 75% of the video footage we took (on a cheaper camera) of european bike tour is rubbish. Just the sky or something | 14:06 |
| ebel | which was very annoying | 14:06 |
| * slashtommy hopes czajkowski's boy buys here some gear and a helmet for xmas ;) | 14:06 | |
| slashtommy | her* | 14:06 |
| ebel | And the drift has a little screen | 14:06 |
| slashtommy | ebel: we must go again | 14:06 |
| ebel | So i used to sit on the bike, take a photo, then look at the photo on the little screen and check that it was ok befor eheading off | 14:07 |
| ebel | I think the countour has an iphone app (with an android app coming soon™) that allows you to view out the camer | 14:08 |
| ebel | so it's like a little broadcast. you can uise the iphone as a remote control view finder | 14:08 |
| ebel | actually this http://www.flickr.com/photos/rorymccann/5822416632/in/set-72157626938588538/ must be the HD non-widescreen | 14:08 |
| ebel | One annoying thing with the shitty one (that cost ~ €50) was that everything looked slow | 14:09 |
| ebel | Whereas with the wideangle, since you can see so far to the sides, you can see road & bushes etc whizz by. Makes it look *much* faster. | 14:10 |
| ebel | so you look at the video and go "Crumbs, I don't remember going that fast!" | 14:10 |
| ebel | (Conversely, when looking at the old one, it was like "wow, we werent' going that slow, were we?" | 14:10 |
| ebel | wideangle is great for when you move you head around. One problem with the old non-wideangle one was that you (& your head) move around when riding a bike | 14:11 |
| ebel | So the video is very jerky. However with a wideangle it's much less of a problem, since the viewer is able to keep the important parts in view | 14:11 |
| slashtommy | wideangle is definitely the way | 14:11 |
| ebel | this is a wideangle view http://www.flickr.com/photos/rorymccann/5855915667/in/set-72157627004907232 and you can see the walls at the side whizz past, but that's cause you're almost looking due left | 14:13 |
| ebel | However, i used my old strap for the the drift, You get a few velcro things with the drift, and some clips, so I dunno how great that is | 14:14 |
| ebel | You also get a little remote control with the drift to turn it on/off. it's real handy | 14:14 |
| ebel | I've attached it to the side of my tank bag | 14:15 |
| ebel | You can slightly see the fish-eye/wideangle in these 2 photos http://slashtom.eu/displayimage.php?album=28&pos=1 http://slashtom.eu/displayimage.php?album=28&pos=0 | 14:16 |
| ebel | You can see what it looks like strapped to the helmet here: http://slashtom.eu/displayimage.php?album=28&pos=8 | 14:17 |
| ebel | the drift comes with a halfsize battery so you can take about 4 hours of video | 14:19 |
| ebel | We bought a bigger one here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Drift-HD170-Long-Life-Battery/dp/B0046ZG7OI/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1321539522&sr=8-2 | 14:19 |
| ebel | and it will last all day | 14:19 |
| ebel | For the record a 40 minute video is about 2.5GB | 14:23 |
| ebel | There are several other popular camera for bikes, GoPro, Contour etc. | 14:24 |
