i was gonna ask the same question
what fork is this? am I seeing things or is it an 05 or 06 888?
Sea Otter Live thread
- Thread starter Transcend
- Start date
Front looks like a Clutch. Same setup I was running for the race yesterday. Clutch up front, Chunder out back. Perfect combo for this course.
blah blah blah blah tech talk
talk about something worth discussion like Rennie's land mine sized roost in the slalom.

just got home. another good otter. im burned like shizt. the heat today killed. but the riding did not disappoint
who's cam is it? i know of a few HD helmet cams in the works, but which one were you using?
maybe the new "superlight" 888?

go ooon.....
Not intentionally trying to sound like an elitist/cool guy, but the dude did not want us to say anything about it. I think they are a few weeks from announcing all the details...but price, size and video quality is off the charts.
hmm did i say that?
no worries. theres only a few out there in the works that im aware of and some were shown at PMA.
we toyed with the idea of a POV type cam, but scraped it for a few other great cam designs instead....and after we split technology sharing w/ Pana.

woooo. it's stirring up post traumatic stress symptoms.
Saw Rennie just toying around the pits on his DS bike - doing cutties on pavement.
he looked like he gained 100lbs over the winter - dayum he's a big boy!
of fat or muscle?
I may just have to call it out right now: rennie for worlds this year.
talk about going out on a limb.

A dried up up, splintered limb at that.
no risk, no reward. i'm glad you have so much faith in the guy who got second there last year!

^ yeah. that's basically the reaction it got. only i yelled some really loud obscenity.
You mean the guy that lost.
yeah, that's what i mean
Rennie, with carter's help, also blew a massive hole in that berm.

That was quick...he said 6-8 weeks till announcement
in the world that we work in, that means 1-2 weeks.
i got mine on order from my dealer

They are already shipping. I am supposed to have one to try out before i leave for France on the 4th. So far the footage looks great, the only downside being you only get about 30min of footage per card in HD mode.
all those cameras are toys...
Only the sony isn't shipping yet. 
That, and it will still only do 720p and require a backpack/pocket for the recorder.

who said it was shipping?Only the sony isn't shipping yet.
doesn't mean there aren't any out there
irate2:might require a pack or pocket - but being able to set the right angle of the camera with your helmet still on and from the cockpit is priceless. Especially if you're trying to take some helmet cam footy on solo rides.
Very true, but the price on the sony unit I saw quoted was around $1500, a far cry from the $300 Vholdr! Although quality wise...I would be the sony would be better.who said it was shipping?

actually they are closer to 3k... a bit overboard if you ask me. Plus it uses those dumb Memory Stick PRO Duo, Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo (sorry I personally hate those)
definitely makes you conscious when you ride - crashing on your head would suck major balls (for both you and the head unit)
Ah, I saw the quote about 3 months ago, maybe it was just the recorder unit and not the camera head etc?
Either way, ridiculous. And memory stick duo? ew?
I'll stick to $130 Go Pros and $300 Vholdr HDs for now! I am looking forward to trying it out on the Monster guys at La Bresse...I will make sure to add the requisite euro dance music.
30 mins?
so that should be enough for you to get one run of yourself?
(is there a rimshot smiley in here?)
I could've sworn it was 30min per GB?
Ya, but 2gb maximum right now, no SDHC. They ship with 1gb micro SD cards I was told. Max 2 hour battery life with their battery pack, which is decent.
Interesting. According to their site at least it can take up to a 16GB card.

Whoa, that is interesting for sure. The guy who dropped buy the booth at Otter said no SDHC, maybe that was the firmware on the demo unit and not the production ones?
Go Pro just sent me updates firmware to do SDHC as well as better auto exposure, so probably same idea.
