Edited down some of the footage from the Peel's ferry ride at the NC/SC rally. Still too long. :)

Kind of hard seeing around that 3 wheel thing, it should have a sign on the back.

WIDE LOAD!

It may be a little long but definitely worth watching. Great video Glenn, thanks for posting.

Very nice video Glenn. Nice and steady. Oh, that is a great looking ride you're tailing during the first 5 minutes.

**BudMan** · 07-18-2014, 05:25 PM

Great video. Thanks Glenn

Good job Glen. Thanks for sharing, we can review and remember for a long time now.
I'm not sure I like the Speedo, reminds me of the one on my GPS that always shows up in red.

**glwilson** · 07-28-2014, 07:51 PM

How did you get your speedometer to show on the video... Inquiring minds want to know.

petenomad · 07-29-2014, 10:24 PM

Last fall Garmin released a video camera. (Anybody else know about this?).

I shot the video with a Garmin's Virb Elite. The Elite has GPS, and an accelerometer. It can also interface with a few other sensors.

It records the video as a regular MP4 file and then records the sensor data separately. You can use VirbEdit software to create a video with overlays of your choice. (VirbEdit can also use any MP4 video file and a tracklog from a separate GPS.) They have gauges for speed, temp, heading, tracklog, elevation, etc. You can choose from pre-made overlay templates or make your own.

The VirbElite has an Android/iOS app that allows you to setup all the record options and use the phone as a viewfinder to help in positioning the camera.

The Elite can also use it's accelerometer to give a bubble level right on its screen for leveling assistance.

Both the Virb and Virb Elite can be controlled from a zumo touchscreen to start/stop video recording and to also take a still photo (or burst of stills depending on how it is setup).

Did not know this. But apparently this unit is quite advanced compared to a standard Go-Pro and the like.

Do you have to connect it to the bike to get the speed readings though? Not sure how I would do that, but it would be cool to do for some of things I am planning on doing.

The other features you mentioned are also a possibility for my use as well.

I'll look this up and see more about it... but if you could answer my one question I would appreciate it.

petenomad · 07-29-2014, 11:00 PM

No, you don't have to connect it to the bike. The speed readings are from the GPS in the elite model. You can mount it on your helmet if you choose. I did mount on my tip over bar as I didn't want to helmet mount. There are a couple of other body mounted options as well.

Excellent... thanks for the info. I will be checking it out tomorrow. Didn't know Gramin had a unit. I am not so sure others do either. Seems everywhere I look I see the same ones.

Again... thanks!
