Wales forum meet 7th April 2012

Could do something Saturday if you fancy ******.

Have pulled out of going to the International due to shortage of funds & don't think two days on the lash in Cardiff is wise use of what little I've got remaining. want to try out my new HD stealth camera. After the last failed attempt I've got a new mount that screws into the mirror stem recess so the screen shouldn't obscure its view. only trouble is new camera takes a micro SDHC memory card which hasn't arrived yet.

Is that a Drift camea Mick?

I have the non-HD version and would be very keen to see how much better HD is.

I tried mine on the mirror but it was far too shakey so moved it back onto the tank
 
Don't know if you remembered but got one christmas time. HD version. First time I tries using it I snapped the battery retaining clip so tried returning it to Amazon. Long story but HD180 no longer in production. There's a new mini version. Similar but about 5"shorter. Uses a mini HDSC card & the rear cover allows for the use of an external microphone & charging.
Never managed to explore the older version however in full hd mode camera angle was restriced to 90degrees as opposed to 170 degrees & zoom not available.
I have a number of friends in TV working for S4C & they use the go pro cameras they reckon that even for their professional use 720 is sufficient for TV. My mate does rallying & is about to do the 24hr enduro in Llandridnod wells in a couple of weeks so would only say that if its good enough for them then for domestic use the non hd should be fine. am obviously trialing for our fud about in a couple of weeks & my trip to Assen.

I was lucky got the HD for £124.00 just b4 christmas. (obviously end of line stock.) normally about £220.00 retail currently £180.00 from states on E Bay. Amazon wouldn't upgrade to the newer model wopuld only refund origional cost. which left me with an obsolete external microphone, battery expansion pack & rear hatch cover. Wasn't best pleased so complained directly to Stealth who upgraded for £40.00 & exchanged battery & microphone for the newer versions. Still cost me £40.00 for the upgrade & another £20.00 for the SD card. Newer one is a tidy looking bit of kit & the rear hatch is a bib improvement. You are welcome to the old rubber hatch boot that I've still got if you've any inclination to get an external mic.

I'm up for it. Will take the route I've been exploring over to cross gates, knighton, Craven Arms, Churchstoke, Welshpool then home. Only 100 miles so shouldnt take all day. Aim to meet at mine about 10.30 give me time to walk dog & collect bike from my lock up.
 
jUST on through the village, past the spar & wynnstay Station grill car park then right just past the zebra crossing follow access road round to the back I'm down at the end by the garages. I'll have the bike outside. I'm 32 up on the top floor.

Have just done a met check weather giving cloudy but sunny.

Welly are you up for this if so get over to mine or we could go clockwise & pick you up en route.

Any other Shropshire / Border takers. what about you zippy??
