Camera Mounting Test....^^;

Hello, there.
This weekend project, mount digital camera on the bike..

1. I wanted to have some good photos which shows the ROAD VIEW from my bike touring.
2. I have cheap tripod which rarely using currently, especially while I'm on the bike riding.
3. I have power supply which can remove my worry about camera battery during the touring.
4. Let's make some mounting... ha ha ha

The mouting gets ugly as me ha ha ha,
however, I'm going to modify some outter shells of them.
So that I can hide wires and power-supplier for the better looking final mouting ...

Anyway, photos and videos came out resonable qualities.
Some performance update are required for the final output.

At Saturday, I made some test riding; used camera setting for the best quilities for both still and video caputers.
And preview outputs were very satisfactory....
Um, when I checked the photos/videos at home, my SD Card was fried.
SD Memory Card was gone for all....
I tried to recorver them, no vail.

So, Sunday (today), I went to local electronic shop (Fry's Electornics) and bought couple of them and did test ride again.
This time, I set to photo qualities for reqular; small size.

Many of them are Out-Of-Focus, I need to some better technique when taking photos while on the saddle.
Mouting works resonably, but shaking alot >>> need to fix later on.
and so on,, on....

Here are photos and videos taken while I was on the saddle on the road.
Couple of photos were taken at the speed over 80 >> out-of-focus.
Aha, need to fix these too.
1. Moisture go in the lens .... ha ha ha (I may need new camera ....um...)
2. Dust get stick on the lens after riding some foggy cost line road.

Anyway, here are some test results to share with you.
I could take photos or videos while I was on the saddle now.....
Over 160 photos and couple of videos. (not a good qualities most of them...)
Next touring, I may have some my Road View photos/videos, which I really missed alot after bike touring.

These are Video Link. (on the slide show, it should play videos automatically, but it's not.???)
As original video size is 320x240, you may need to view size as Original Size while you click "Google Video" button at the bottom of right view pane....
Next time, let me try bigger and better quality...

Update: Found that above Slide Show Direct link will play Videos Automatically when slide show plays... ha ha ha (embedid slide show does not play videos automatically ???)
