From mountains to the sea...

I echo Novice's thoughts regarding the accident.

That is a very nice video, well edited and the right length. I will have to go to school off you as I have recently been given a GoPro4 and, although I did take it to the NC rally, haven't yet come to a complete understanding of its full capabilities. I have used the GoPro editing tool and have found it adequate but a little clumsy (or is it me?). I believe Adobe make a good editing tool I am curious as to the tool you used as the transitions that you use don't seem to be available on Go Pro.

As for mounting positions on the CB, the indicator posts, inboard of the rubber bits, are good for front, rear and up and down views. Otherwise I use a helmet chin mount. The rear pegs are also available. I rented a FJR for the rally and found that mounting points were scarce unless using a suction mount, in which case there was plenty of choice.

Cheers

I was really torn with whether to go with the GoPro or the Drift. I opted for the Drift because of the small profile. I've seen some side-by-side video comparisons and I believe the GoPro actually shoots better quality video. But, it's a bit more expensive and for what I'm doing, just goofing off and capturing memories, the Drift seems more than adequate. I think you'll really enjoy the GoPro.

As far as the editing software, I used the standard Windows Movie Maker that came with my laptop. It has a limited number of editing options including the transitions you see on my video and the ability to splice the video, save projects, add music, some special effects. It's fun. I'm sure there are other programs that offer more but I've enjoyed this one. One drawback is that it does take some time to upload your video to the movie maker program then, once you've done your edits, effects, etc., it takes a while to save it into a movie format. I don't know how much faster the other programs are and I have the feeling I'm better off not knowing. Haha.

Thanks for the mounting positions. I'll play around with them on my commute to work. I've put the curved adhesive mounts on each of my helmets with the exception of my Bell Bullitt (I just couldn't bring myself to put a camera on it). Most are on the side of the helmet but I affixed a mount to the top of my RS-1 helmet. I have yet to try that one. The Drift has a rotating lens that allows you to mount the camera at odd angles but then rotate the lens to keep the image level. That opens up a lot of possibilities.
