New (small) toys

[weedahoe]

Woot Woot. New mic for my helmet will be here tomorrow along with my new 64Gb card for my Hero 3 BE and my new cell mount for the bike. Cant wait! Pics will be here tomorrow too

[Watevaman]

what kind of mount did you get for your cell? I've been thinking of getting one but the only brand I know well is RAM.

[weedahoe]

I bought a cheap mount off ebay from China for $8. I still have to check the part that holds the actual phone and see how strong it is.  I do not mind losing $8 if it doesn't work. A RAM mount is something I still might get if this one doesn't work out.

RAM mount is super sturdy. Still workin on gettin the pics with my phone in it for ya too. Pulled the trigger on a new SDHC card, and should have it by Tuesday to get the pics off my camera.

used ram mounts with teh suction cups on hte exterior of my vehicles, and my gs, as well as the sportie. nary a problem. btw if you use suction cup type mounts, moisten them, ( soap or a bit of water works wonders)

Insure your cell on your homeowners or renters policy.. its cheap, $0 deductible and say $600 in coverage for loss or theft is like 12 a year or so.
Perfect if you lose it or it falls off and is never found...

Yeah, I have a suction cup mount for my GoPro Hero 3 BE and it works great. Really strong. Pics and a vid are uploading now. Might be a while though. 720p adds up quick!

Thanks. I will check into that.

New cell mount video

[Snake2715]

I didnt listen to the whole review will it fit phones bigger than the iphone?

I am curious as to how that holds up over time and at speed.

I have a new nelson rig tank bag that I am using in the map window for m phone, but this is cool.

[weedahoe]

I took it out 2x today and tried to record one with my GP3 while riding but for some reason the damn camera didnt record??

Anyway, it seems to work well. It will kinda bounce a little but very little. The again, my phone is very big and very heavy due to its natural size and the huge battery I have on it.

Just a warning: the Hero3 Black has been reported to have problems with 64GB cards, which can result in permanently corrupting the memory card and bricking the camera. I'd highly recommend using a 32GB card.

[weedahoe]

I have a 32gb card in my phone so I might swap them around. Thanks

[yamahonkawazuki]

32gb should be plenty methinks.

[weedahoe]

in 720 mode at 30 FPS I get right at 4hrs of recording time with a 32gb card

[Watevaman]

 Wow, my Drift gets closer to 5.5 hours with my 32 card at 1080p at 30fps. You sure that's not the 1080p time?

Hey guys, it seems like the Lifeproof idea was dropped a while back but I've been riding with one for 2 weeks >300 miles and have hit some pretty nasty bumps no issues. As far as hitting something/ rolling on handlebar, not an issue, they give you 3 different inserts to grip different size bars and a lever adjust to really lock it down. Just a little feedback for anyone lookin to go that route. Mine is a iphone 5 but the actual bar mount looks to be the same between the 2.

Im going to check and make sure. Thanks for bringing it up

I finally got a chance to check my cam and I was initially incorrect. It is set at 720 @ 60 FPS. The only two FPS options are 60 and 120 so if you have 30 FPS, that seems why you can get more record time out of the Drift @ 720

sweet vid. now what happens if it starts raining. Is un mounting quick? I also bought the SENA SMH10r for this type of setup. but it rains here often. give us an update as to how it works after a few weeks.

[weedahoe]
