Thought I would share my first HD video taken with my new GoPro HD.
The camera purchase was inspired by [url= http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/commuting-video ]MTB-Idle and his Commuting Video[/url] 8)

Still waiting for an official mount, until which point zip ties and insulation tape will have to suffice, which means that the camera sits a little further back than ideal, so the legs are in shot more than I would like. Pretty pleased with the result though.
Traffic during the week is a little more exciting 😆
Cheers, Rich
enjoyed that
that was great, tuktuk drivers are mentalists
The random U-turning tuktuks are sure to add some excitement to a ride 😆
There appear to be 2 rules here:
1: bigger vehicles have right of way
2: don't hit the car in front
The 2nd rule is quite interesting, it means that you can turn left or right out of a minor road onto a major road, and not look to see if it's safe or clear, as it is the responsibility of everyone else not to hit you 😯
Combine this with typical road repairs

Thats ace, but yeah if you can move if forward so you are not staring at your ass for the whole video it would be loads better. 😀
The thing with these videos is you need an obscure extreme commute like that for them to work, an "ass cam" of me tottering along to Leamington of a day would be hellishly boring!
Good work.
Top video that, when I was in India what amazed me was that although there seemed to be no traffic rules it all worked surprisingly well.. your certainly brave riding a road bike there!
Hey there Mr Ferret,
Only just seen this as I was searching for GoPro references. Nice video and thanks for the name check for the inspiration.
A very different commute/ride home than mine, a lot more colourful and traffic all over the place. Looks even more scary than commuting in central London. But at least they drive on the left!

Great vid, riding in that traffic looks like a real laugh! Just one question: Aren't Gillette's finest products available in India then?
must be hot right now!
this is what you need

my indian rides, bombproof.
im just not comfortable staring through your legs for seven minutes,
reminds me i was going to get some 3/4s tho
Nice vid, good choice of Oakenfold for the tunes - carry on...
nice. Looks like fun, if a little crazy.
Strangely, it looks like it is a green screen shot. Probably something to do with the fact that your bike is in perfect focus while the background isn't. That is not to say that I didn't enjoy it though, as I did!
Liked this a lot, there's a certain "penis cam" aspect to it which is fascinating! 😉
I went to Chennai once, and it took me a few days to be able to hold a conversation in the taxi - I was too focused on the madness around me. You're brave to ride in Indian traffic mate.
