Dash Camera - Back Seat Driver Part 3
last one in this series (for now)..

camera is zoomed "halfway", so less interior car.
driving down Bealby Point Road past Red Sands Beach.
Red Sands is a nudie beach.. hehe..


====

here's another shot with the camera zoomed right out and you can see things like my speedometer, tach, etc:



thinking this is my favourite view so far, although i had to use a couple of mask filters to deal with the super bright vs super dark contrasts for the exterior and interior of the car.

====

here's another try with the camera on a tripod in the back seat of my car, zoomed in so you don't see artifacts inside the car.. still a little bouncy i think, but more centred:



i have some more ideas for this, including showing you the interior of the car.. stay tuned!

ORIGINAL POST:

testing out a new mounting mechanism to use my larger, higher quality camera inside the car:



i think it looks to far to the left and will try other mounting ideas in the near future to centre it out.

no music in this one, no screwed up video effects, just pure driving video with my own rambling commentary, for what that's worth. (hint, not much)

enjoy!

I'd heard Nelson was beautiful, I know a few ppl from there. I pretty much never leave the island, so nice to see some real footage from the Interior. Thanks for sharing!

you are most welcome, MountainTux!

i love living in Nelson, been here 11 years so far.

sadly, facing a bit of an existential crisis as i have to vacate my current residence (landlord wants his house back) and the rental market is insanely tight here. here's hoping i can find a new place before the end of the month!

Damn, that's tough.

We sold summer of last year, at that time we were living on Malcolm Island (Sointula, off the north east coast of the island) and at that time it was crazy to find anything to BUY< never mind rent - people are buying swamp there, filling it, and having houses moved there :( Needless to say, there's no rental market to speak of there. Same here (Gold River) and most rural areas on the island - we had a HUGE influx from Vancouver and Victoria when the whole COVID thing really kicked off.

I wish you luck - I'm sure you'll find something!

yep, i think a lot of city folk are selling their homes and trying to move rural, which is really putting the pinch on us poor-boy locals just trying to scrape by.

shacks are selling for $640k and crappy houses are being rented for $2.5k, but when you show up to view, there are 30 other people there who next get into a bidding war. it's absolutely insane.

thx for the luck, really hope you're right and i find something soon!

I am only mentioning this, despite being of German heritage (migrated to Russia in 1820, to USA in 1880,) because everyone is soooooo politically correct these days.... you used the word Gerry Rigged...you probably didn't know, but that is a very racially charged term. Gerry is for Germans, just as bad as saying other racial terms, like w*p, Ki*e, Chin*, J*p, etc. It is just one of those negative old sayings usually coming from a War, to give another country a lower place in society and label them the enemy.

I am not telling you to change your speech, just making people aware that using those terms have crept into our sayings. They are just words and if offended, to get over it!

yep, we got a LOT of snow this year, the most i've ever seen in this area of canada. i even had to get out an shovel my roof at one point after we received three feet of snow in a single night:



down in the valley bottom most of the snow has finally melted, but there is still quite a bit of snow/ice up the sides of the mountain. greater than average snow pack this year, which is good because maybe it will work to suppress forest fires this summer.

Re: Dash Camera - Back Seat Driver Part 3
i'm going to try some alternate camera mounting ideas in the near future, but kinda curious what you thought of this one?

does it look too much to the left hand side, or did you not even notice that? maybe you enjoyed the deep left view?

it bothers the heck out of me that it's not centred, but maybe you don't care, lol.

part of my heritage is german ancestry, and they used the term "Gerry Rigged" whenever they fixed something without having to shell out $ or go to the store, just using materials/resources they had on hand.

well thank-you, GLP for going on a little road trip with me.

perhaps i'll do another one of these soon, with a different camera view and driving through the town of Nelson proper.

there's some footage in my edit rig that i need to clean up first before i share it. one of the shots shows my gauge cluster, including speedo/tach shots, it's kind of interesting.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79964821


think i agree with you.

this particular mount is a vacuum suction 3-axis mount designed for a much smaller camera, kinda taking it to the limit with my bigger/heavier (but higher picture quality) camera.

my next video will be using a tripod mount in the backseat of the car and zoomed forward a bit, but centred which is the perspective i prefer.

not exactly sure what you mean by "swivel" mount though, if you have a link to the product you have in mind i would definitely check it out!

That's because the term is jury rigged aka n----r rigged, relating to rigged juries leading to the hanging of negros in the South. The term offends some, but this Gerry ain't even got the history right.

WH2O is a shorthand for "Whitewater"

W = White
H2O = water

it's a ski resort close to Nelson, about 20km.

in this video i drive up to the highway turnoff, which is about half of the way up to the top of the mountain.
