Thank you DASHCAMTALK and all the users who have supplied a wealth of information. There is so much to know about motorcycle video capturing, but I'm hopeful that if a dummy like me can make a start of it, then it is possible. Three years ago I stumbled onto what you all refer to as a "Chinese" dual camera system for which I knew nothing about accept how to install it. I made the mistakes of, running the rear cam at 25 FPS and the front cam at 30 FPS, I did not process any clips but stored them over the years. I did not know anything about the technical stuff of video/audio. Three months ago I decided it was time to make something of these 10,000 + clips and it was then that my ignorance really shone.
The movies I was able to make helped get my head around the five road trips I made and they revealed many other aspects of the road and my riding habits, that come next season, (I live in cold weather climate), I will be better prepared for the rides and the eventual situations that come with the road. I think dual camera systems not only help in the event of an accident but they help riders learn about being better riders. From the movies I made I can see that I made way too many turn-arounds. I need to be a better planner. Also, I knew my riding style was a tad bit on the aggressive end of the scale and from the movie's rear camera, I can see that perhaps I'm a too aggressive. I'll be more careful on those lane changes in the future.
The camera systems of today are way better than the one I had, and if I'm marginally careful about choosing the new camera system, it will be sufficient. I'm willing to spend some money but I want a return on that expense.
Again, thanks for the interest in capturing your rides. It's more than entertainment--it's educational as well.
