Testing DVR camera under front fairing

[IAmA M0t0r Ridεr]

I like it. With the remote microphone out of the wind's way, it seems to capture better the raw sound of the bike (esp. compared to the GoPro sound).

Camera is the Innov C3, best feature is that it will be always on with the bike. Won't miss a thing. :thumbup

I'd worry about full compression of the forks slamming the front fender into the camera.

 

[IAmA M0t0r Ridεr]

Yes, I measured. It sits about right, no give. Front fender is however very flexible, so there's that.

Looks like your recording unit didn't get the firmware upgrade for frame rate correction
PM'd you about firmware version upgrade.

Even so, would you really want to risk damaging an expensive piece of plastic? Personally I'd find an alternate location, but that's just me.

If you get near full compression you are very likely to smack the fender into the camera. Dangerous stuff.

 

[IAmA M0t0r Ridεr]

Yeah, I'll see if I can clear it a bit more. It needs a better mount, this one vibrates too much.

 

[IAmA M0t0r Ridεr]

Oh yeah, by the way, at 00:15sec I did an involuntary stoppie at around 75-80mph or more...I wish I could say I was trying my Dani Pedrosa stoppie at Montegi, LOL.

For the rear wheel to lift, I suppose a lot of compression went on, still no touching...fingers crossed until I figure out a mount with more clearance.

Try hard braking over a pot hole or something of the like. I've gone full click in that circumstance. Not a fun feeling.

 

[IAmA M0t0r Ridεr]

Yes, I know. I joke now, but it wasn't fun at the time at all.

I wasn't that hard on brakes I just had just past 3rd gear at full throttle (quick-shifter) and immediately was on the brakes and let my body slide forward too much. If I had a better grip on the tank that wouldn't happen.

The sound is awesome, my Drift cam is all wind noise above 20mph.

Try mounting it on the side of the plastic fender if you have a flat spot to stick to. My Drift HD is monuted with a 3M adhesive pad. Holds strong, no vibration at all and really gives a sensation of the lean angles.

^^^ Very cool video! Yeah, that would be my second location option. I just like to have the camera hidden under there, so I'll insist a bit more tweaking with the mount.

Just measure. Full fork travel is number you should know anyway.

Just noticed your post here, thank you for introducing the C3 to Riders.

Thanks for the flashbacks & 'trip'. Now I'm going to start hallucinating when I ride. :loco :laughing

 

[Hooli]

Good thing my bike has such a big nose!

 

[Cincinnatus]

And what happens if you get punched in the nose?? :teeth

What is the distortion at center of the lens?

(Flashback to the LSD days....) :laughing
