tachyon 2010 xc cameras

all is going well with the new camera kit i got,im loving being able to just pull a camera out the gas tank bag on the pugsley when riding,switch on,and stick it on my helmet using the M3 `snap velcro` and do a bit filming without stopping...

its strong enough to hold the camera for when just plodding along smoothish terrain...

i also have the permanent mount on a jump helmet for filming at say glentress,need to get down there again soon,been a while...

note the counter weights, car wheelrim balancing weights...

and for the motorbike i use a goggle strap with snap velcro on the inside of the mount and on the helmet for a secure mount...

and with short strips of snap velcro all over the bikes i can get lots of angles on the bike which makes the films more interesting i used as many angles as i could,took a while to edit but i like the result...



i still havent tried the 3D filming yet with both cameras together in sync as still cant get the 3D editing software to upload,i got instructions from tachyon who have provided a very personal and helpfull back up service and have emailed if everything is ok etc..which i appreciate,i will get it done,think its something im doing wrong...
i need to get another cheapy gorrila pod tripod and fit it to a tachyon mount so i can set up a camera in trees etc.. for rideby shots or pics,because you can do timelapse which is every 2 seconds you can set it up for a ride by picture and guarantee to get the pic-no more wobbly trackstands!,ok so the quality of pics isnt as good as my £60 cannon powershot compact which also has a decent zoom for the money but take a picture into the sun with the tachyon and you get a cool halo effect like when you film too which i love...


ive done a few short timelapse films to try it out,heres a timelapse view south at work of a front moving in....



and another of low cloud timelapse west...



also at work,using the options on vista moviemaker you slow down speeds to miminum and it compresses the pictures together,at a pic every 2 seconds you can imagine theres alot of pics so you usually have to also use effects and double speed,maybe a few times,guess it depends how fast you want the film to move,
so now i want to make some all day timelapse films of the sky and the tide which i can do over 12 hours now with the winter hours of daylight,also plans for a cable dolly..,using heavy fish gut and a fishing real to tension the line i want to try filming with one of the cameras looking back and overtaking me,also something else to tryout soon,watch this space...,
