Last December and early this January, I broadcasted live video from the setup on my RANS Citi Crank Forward Bike [Faye]. It worked rather well, once I made a stable platform. I used my OWLE Bubo with my iPhone 3GS.

I have modified the mount and I’m not currently using my OWLE—waiting for a bumper case to securely mount the iPhone 4 into the OWLE. In the meantime, I adapted my tripod mount to the mount I made for Faye. I can now easily go from tripod to bike and vice-versa. I also moved the mount from the handlebar to the center mount for my DiNotte 1200 Lumen Headlight. Perhaps, I’ll get to record a short video using the new iPhone 4 App, iMovie. I used it for the videos I recently recorded of Maria Parker’s ride [vid1 & Vid2]. Now, if I can figure a way to use my “Camera Bike” to get special shots of Maria during her 100-mile record attempt. That would be so cool! |

That would be pretty neat if you could pace behind and alongside her while filming. I don’t know if you could get Fargo up to those speeds though.

Hi Zeke,
Not allowed by the rules. The best I may be able to do is ride in the opposite direction [closer may be too fast and ride perpendicular to her movement--not a lot of places to do that. I cannot hold her pace on my road bike--no way on the single-speed Citi [Fargo won't be available and would be even slower]. That is why I say figure a way. I’ve been thinking for days, and nothing creative.
I’m ready for the next idea…
Thanks!
Jim
iPhone 4 Feature:
The front camera [highlighted above] means I can get shots of the pilot, without having to pan the camera. That is good.
