You have to frame your image, hit shutter half to AF, then click, all with only one hand on the bars. Editing gets faster with practice. All cameras are compromises. I have videos using both. Video and impressions appearing soon. I wanted to have two cameras running for different POV'sAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-35593172011061349572012-03-05T15:30:11.980-08:002012-03-05T15:30:11.980-08:00I like the design of the RAM mounts though I have ...I like the design of the RAM mounts though I have never been tempted to attach a camera and take video. Then I'd just have to edit the video. Have you replaced your HD Hero camera with the Lumix for on-bike video?RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-83849590836104886912012-03-05T14:13:51.298-08:002012-03-05T14:13:51.298-08:00Brady:

I disabled comments because it was a sticky post for videos and I didn't want the comments "lost".<br /><br />I wished you had mentioned that you were riding to Seattle. It would have been so close for me to ride down, Only 150 miles. Did you go to the Locks ? Kansas is too far away for a day trip from here. Oh well, perhaps there will be a next timeAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-35924093297448913312012-03-05T14:10:55.597-08:002012-03-05T14:10:55.597-08:00David:

I even asked a friend to make me a mount for my swivel so I could "aim" it whilst riding. I was actually thinking of mounting it behind me on a long pole to be able to rotate 360° . On YouTube someone had made an electronic controller, with rheostat on the handlebars. I wonder how your video editing is coming along ? <em>(thinking out loud . . .)</em>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-69067137260726570712012-03-05T13:02:47.006-08:002012-03-05T13:02:47.006-08:00Bob,

I really want to go back, Ballard is where we stayed, and I really enjoyed. The market looks amazing at night, too. Looks like a Japanese billboard in some ways.

I have one RAM ...Hi Bob, RAM mounts are wonderful. I have one RAM ball mounted on a mirror stem, and another mounted on the rear grab rail. In a twist (literally) that I will be trying out when I start riding this spring, I will use the tripod head removed from my SLIK monopod, screw the RAM ball adapter into that, then mount my new GoPro camera on the SLIK monopod head. I am betting that by carefully adjusting the tension on the monopod head, I'll be able to pan the GoPro with my left hand and get some panorama video from the saddle without risking life and limb.
