Motorcycles and cameras are a great match for obvious reasons. This looks like a really cool contraption to bring on any scenic moto journey. I love the way it has an accelerometer to know exactly when it reaches its peak altitude to take 36 photos with 36 cameras at the same instant. Really cool concept! And the quality is probably going to get to be really good soon. Hey, you could play catch with it too!

BMW R 1200 GS Adventure, My GS Videos

This is a video I’ve had up on you youtube for some time, but it had way to much wind noise. I added music from the youtube music library with their new edit function.
I ride my BMW R 1200 GS downhill with a side-mounted canon 5d Mark II. HD video Shot at 17mm on a forward facing side mount.
By the the way, I rode this entire decent to the beach standing up moving around the bikes CG (center of gravity). I’m 5’5″. I know my bike is very comfortable to sit on but I feel like I’m dead weight doing so and that my weight should be more productive than that, especially being as light as I am. If a heavier rider – lets say 190lb – leans left 30 degrees over his bike in one direction for traction purposes I might have to lean way more than that in realation to him to get the same counter balance effect. It’s a nice thing not to have to move around much on one hand, but on the other, I believe that being a lightweight rider (140lb) has induced good riding skills/technique and riding foresight because of having to prepare my weight transfers a head more because improvising with less weight doesn’t work as effectively. I monkey style it…haha!
