TW Bent Trike videos (More Now!)

[Falco Frank]

Well, two actually but I must apologise about the 2nd in advance!

First up a look around the Trike:



Second, lousy positioning and terrible design by JVC mean that the awful wind noise drowns out almost everything else in a short test ride...



Pleasantly pleased with the comfortable ride, must sort a catching disc out next.

Cheers - Frank

You put that wheel on backwards or at least it is running that way.

 

[Falco Frank]

LoL, first attempt on this bike with the Cam and I had to mount it upside down so that will explain it!

Audio is also slightly out of sync, good job the video quality is decent!

 

[screenman]

The video is great, unfortunately it has made me want a trike even more so, it will happen soon.

You mentioned updating your flag

I found a kite maker a few years ago who will make flags to an agreed design

Excellent, thank you I feel a Ducati design coming on!

That rear light that you have on the rack, what is it and what bracket are you using? I'd like one for mine.

 

[Falco Frank]

There was a rear light on the bike that works with the rear guard but that LED had water ingress and gave up the ghost.

New one is a simple Aldi item, lots of flash options. Bracket comes with it and uses a plastic type hose clip but I need to add some rubber strip as the light does tend to move a little.

...nice vids, and good quality, at least compared to mine. Recently tried to make a vid on one of my usual routes, just holding the smartphone, but not too happy with all the shaking going on. I'll have another attempt using a selfie stick, might help a little. If I attach it directly to the trike somewhere, I'm worried about all the frame vibrations - but yours seems OK to me. Got to admit photography has never been my thing, so steep learning curve for me

Can't get those videos to work

Can't get those videos to work

Sorry about that, they are simply loaded straight up into Youtube and shared here.

I didnt even use the full HD version on my JVC adixxion camera and yet the the 2nd Vid is 1.6GB in size just for 15mins of 'action'. Its a good cam but the wind noise is awful and spoils any motion video. I think its time to chat with JVC again! (Ideas on noise reduction very welcome as deflectors and taping over the microphone holes have both failed).

I hope its nothing to do with the 'SnoopaVision', if so, den ai feels ya pain, 'bro!

I got the message "An error has occured, try again later" on both, I initially missed that "try again later" part but now I have tried again and they worked this time!

 

[steveindenmark]

Frank. Can you mount the camera above the front mech on the boom.

 

[Falco Frank]

Hi Steve, yes, I will try that on a future ride but I hoped with the camera being closer to me that it would pick up my 'commentary' however, i realise its useless for that unless I put the cam in a case OR....

Put a fairing on the front....

Nice vids, I keep meaning to do some filming myself, just never seem to get around to it. I found youtube vids really helpful when I was on the hunt for a new bike, keep us posted with a review when you have had gotten some miles in. Thanks Frank
