A Different Perspective from the R NineT

Very noice, Hinksters - so that's Pasadena! How d'you achieve that - selfie-stick?? And if I may - what screen is that? Looks suspiciously like my PUIG Retrovision, but larger.

Nicely done.

California is so beautiful. Every time I visit I wonder why I don't move there permanently from this frozen tundra.
Anyhow fantastic video! I am also curious to know how you got the 360 camera to pan about during the ride?

Hello Lawerence-
Thank you for the kind message - first off in answe to your question regarding the windscreen, that is the Puig Retrovision- I really struggled to find a screen that is liked the look of and was the “right” size- I have to say I’m pretty happy with this one.

Regarding the video capture, The clips were archived with the use of a 360 camera in a few different positions… The camera captures a sphere of information and the viewpoint is determined through the post production software which gives you the ability to rotate or zoom after the capture.

Hello H!

Pretty neat stuff!

Thanks for the offer @Hincksters, that's incredibly generous of you! Not sure when the next work trip will be with the current climate but I'll definitely hit you up at least for some beer 🍻.
As for the camera, that's pretty clever. I haven't really gotten into these 360 cameras myself yet. Are you also able to restrict the field of view in post production? i.e. make it so that from the 360 sphere you only see 160, 180 etc.?

Yes! Indeed you are! The field of view can vary from about 100° to 360° which looks really crazy! I didn’t post any of those clips but it is nothing short of bizarro world… Most of the clips that are in that video are in the range of 130°… I will mention though-
The zoomed image beyond a certain point is the magnification of the existing pixels which reduces the clarity… This camera for provides a very interesting And varied effect but it is not nearly as crisp and clear as the GoPro Hero 8 which I often use as a complement to this one.
