My friend practicing what she learned at the first half of the MSF Basic RiderCourse last weekend.

This was taken with a Sanyo Xacti  pocket camcorder.  As you can hear in the video, one of the big problems with little cameras like this is that you can hear the lens zoom motor when it's zooming in or out. 

I've tested this on the bike using the universal suction cup mount that screws into the bottom of most cameras/camcorders.   The video is roughly the same quality as my action cameras, but it's much more shakey, even though the camera has a video stabilizer built in.  This is due mostly to the physical design of the device in combination with the inherent unsteadyness of the suction cup mount.

If you can't be a good example, at least try to be a horrible reminder.

instead of just music, id set it kinda both, use the mosuc to overcome the gopros audio shortcomings.  ( even though pic quality is great btw)

Thanks Yamaha. Tried to balance it out a little, but wasn't too concerned with it.  Just thought I would let others enjoy, the ride. Maybe a stickie is in order, cause I am just gonna keep posting these awesome views. Maybe more people would post theirs as well........

Yeah, I have. But what can I say, I'm lazy. No really, any ideas? I've thought about moving it around, just haven't gotten that far yet. Maybe I'll try something different this weekend.  Where do you think would be a good place to mount it?

i guess, theres the sides, depending on location, facing rearwards depending on scenery, no right ( and no wrong choices) errm rather i guess the right choice is yours. so many variables. and so much to see. damn im envious :bowdown:

idk the logistics or the cost of doing this. but hit each island with a ride, and film clips @ some point in life. would be epic. HI is LONG so would be a fun vacation never leaving the state
