Initial Setup / Test Ride Video

[FirstR8]

During the initial set up and test rides, I used some 25 lb. bags of grass seed that I had handy to test various loads and distributions.

I would ride a defined loop, change some weight, then ride the same loop, noting any changes.

There is a bridge, with a decent transitional bump.
Why can't the bridge engineers and road engineers use the same tape measure or transit or two sticks and a piece of string?

Anyway, for your viewing pleasure,
Here are a few test rides over the bridge as well as a few twisties for good measure.

The video files have been compressed to fit on the forum.

So cool! Thank you for sharing. That was a lot of fun to watch!

I just got my Innovv camera and once I get it set up and have the ADV1 attached & configured, I'll hit some fast twisties with the goal of seeing if it "steps out", and if so, by how much...

I'm seeing some red reflected on the buckles, is that from your brake lights or sunlight through the brake light assembly?

Innow cameras are the shit. Pricey but as reliable as a leaded sap.
@FirstR8 thanks for he repeated rides, it's that kind of data that helps us quantify the magical mystery tour that is the ADV1.

Sorry for the delayed response, work has been busy. The flashing is just the rear light and the refresh rate of the camera. I have some videos of my wife following me and it looks like her Clearwaters are constantly flashing but they are not. I haven't messed with the frame rate on the Innovv settings to see if I can find one that will eliminate that. Interesting that the headlamp, which is also an LED, doesn't flash?

This has always driven me nutz. The only answer I found was something like "Shoot at 120 FPS then in post drop that to 50 and the software will blend the pulses"
Let us know if you find a real answer.

I will try some different settings. VLC has quite a bit of options that I never knew until I started working with these files.
Innovv records in a different format and I use VLC to convert to MP4 and/or compress to a smaller file size.
