Title: Wisconsin Commute on the 2013 Zero S 11.4
Post by: ctrlburn on November 01, 2014, 09:16:40 AM

Full video, long, tedious to watch ride into work that I enjoy on my Zero S.

Updated link to include narration.

No lane splitting (at one point I get passed) and downright creepy clarity of the road surfaces.

I over dip the apex on a roundabout at 21:35  but otherwise do not embarrass myself too much.

You really should shield your mike when doing this sort of recording, that wind noise is doing nothing good to your camcorder's mike.

The first few test runs - with the suction cup on the upper right "tank", and then left bottom gave no hints on mic noise problems - it  picked up motor whine as dominant sound. Then this mounting - Upper Left "tank" mount certainly abused the audio. But please fret very little about the camera - it was $8 at a junk shop, and only $26 at Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/2-5-inch-Vehicle-Recorder-Dashboard-Camcorder/dp/B0053DDNW6/ (http://www.amazon.com/2-5-inch-Vehicle-Recorder-Dashboard-Camcorder/dp/B0053DDNW6/)   even using a "safety strap" was an afterthought.
