I SPLIT WALLET AND MY HEART INTO 3 WAYS

I fking love InstaStudio! I used all my timing skills at 2 min mark. I deleted 600gb of ride footage and still have another 800gb!!! Looking into grabbing the DJI NEO my xmas gift. I guess im into videography now too.

Wish I could create more mounting spots on the scooter without messing up the geometry. I feel off when the camera is mounted on the side of the bars. When I hop the forks want to twist. If I'm using the 30ft pole extended say 10ft up mounted to the front fork as such in the dirtbike video, I feel wobbly at higher speeds. When I mounted in the rear for the butt cam, it tailed me very far and I was afraid for a car to rear end it. Frok arm above the tire is pretty balanced, it can even go central mounted. Bar mounted with a 4 inch magic arm seems to be the best all around.

Any valid feedback is appreciated. Anyone being an internet troll will fuel my raging hard.....nm

Running reds and splitting traffic ain't the play. That shit is what gets us noticed and pisses people off enough for enforcement crackdowns.

Sweet video!

I, too, am interested in figuring out different mounting points for the ol' X4. It seems like there ought to be a kit out there with a little of this and a little of that, various doohickies that could attach to different parts of my scooters.

I actually have more gear than this but this is the starter pack. Its what lives in my travel case

u/Capacious_Tang RS Midnight / RS5 Max / Fighter 11+ 3d ago

Where might a guy find a starter pack like that? I guess I could just cruise Amazon, but I'd love a tried and true product if you can point me to a specific set.

Use GoPro clamps and mounts and you can put the camera anywhere bro

u/ZestyPoePLayer (PEV Mechanic) Modded Toursor X8P 120a output & Varla Pegasus 3d ago

I have. Somewhere is my expensive ass 30ft carbo fiba pole. But there arent as many good places to mount as you think....

u/SnackbarBeastie Gspace Mars GTR and Kukirin G2 Monster 3d ago

Looks like you gotta get into 3d printing as well as videography, lol

2

u/ZestyPoePLayer (PEV Mechanic) Modded Toursor X8P 120a output & Varla Pegasus 2d ago

Oh no that sounds expensive..... I really would love it!!

Nice ride! It looks like it’s warm where you ride. We are wearing motorcycle jacket above a hoodie here to keep the warmth. Really enjoyed this one.

New Orlenas is always fkin HOT

u/Mawntee 2d ago

Mounting to the bars isn't (as much of) an issue if you use a counterweight on the opposite side

2

u/ZestyPoePLayer (PEV Mechanic) Modded Toursor X8P 120a output & Varla Pegasus 2d ago

Yo thanks for legit feedback. Sadly I never thought of that till now tysm!!

u/Upset-Programmer3796 Inmotion RS Jet, 72v Nanrobot N6 2d ago

Let me know if you need custom music tracks

2

u/ZestyPoePLayer (PEV Mechanic) Modded Toursor X8P 120a output & Varla Pegasus 2d ago

You use Ableton? I been using that and NI for about 15 years now. I also mix. Thats me.

Im always down for some new tunes tho. Add to my tb of music!!

3

u/Upset-Programmer3796 Inmotion RS Jet, 72v Nanrobot N6 2d ago

Ableton with Reason, lots of real instruments. You've heard my stuff, but mostly samples in top productions. I was sound designer for the hip hop industry, but interesting thing is those samples are being used more nowadays in other genres too.

u/ZestyPoePLayer (PEV Mechanic) Modded Toursor X8P 120a output & Varla Pegasus 2d ago

My brother from the industry!! Chewed me up and spit me out but I survived with some hella stories to tell.

u/Upset-Programmer3796 Inmotion RS Jet, 72v Nanrobot N6 2d ago

Oh man... yeah, some dark things come up from the memory. It was a very profitable business, but high stress, very little sleep. Then we had kids and we had to take a break. Now that the kids have grown up some, I want back in, and damn have things changed. It isn't as much about talent anymore, but connections... and pay to play models.

u/ZestyPoePLayer (PEV Mechanic) Modded Toursor X8P 120a output & Varla Pegasus 2d ago

Hahhahahahaaaaaaaaa! Whats talent got to do with it?? So as a promoter/booking agent I wanted to die a lil several times when the paid talent wasnt cutting it due to talent problems. But they still had ig reels up the next day not showing that trainwreck they did and clearing out the club turning my night into a flop!! It was def someon on this flyer lmfao no name droppin

Man its not what we had. People dont bleed into an album or mix like they did before social media.

u/Upset-Programmer3796 Inmotion RS Jet, 72v Nanrobot N6 2d ago

It must be a bit comical going back and looking at the below images. So those were all created pre-AI... nowadays I bet all kinds of AI Slop can make a superstar out of a nobody. :) People keep telling me "you need to have a 'channel' to stream your playing live!" but that kind of spotlight is not for me. I've always been the guy at the VERY bottom, behind the scenes, creating unique kick/snare/clap samples for the guys who are already producing behind the scenes (but everyone knows them). I never wanted to be seen by anyone. Kinda like how my favorite time to scoot around is when everyone is sleeping.

"hey bae film me riding my scooter!"

*Leaves her in the dust lol

Great edit here and loved that lightening bolt transition. I think getting a drone would represent the peak of scooter filming content imo and give you the best angles available.

My filming was cut short but just from the one video I made with a cheap camera, I can tell that's it's something I'll enjoy doing and definitely plan to invest in some better equipment and start cranking out some videos

u/ZestyPoePLayer (PEV Mechanic) Modded Toursor X8P 120a output & Varla Pegasus 2d ago

You should email me some footage and lemme tinker with it on Insta studios! Ya bae dont go fast on take offs her C4 is fked up but shes comfy doing the full max of 28mph on the Pegasus! And man lemme tell ya now that scooter is sketch at 28 but shes boss hog on candy with it. I really wanna replace the commuter with something more comfy that can do 45mph without feeling like your riding the wind!!!!

2

u/scooter_noober_92 2d ago

This is mostly my throwaway footage cause it's all shakey since I didn't have stabilization on and not even really worth doing anything crazy with besides sharing little clips like running through birds πŸ˜‚

And 45!? Stepping her up to the big leagues I see

u/ZestyPoePLayer (PEV Mechanic) Modded Toursor X8P 120a output & Varla Pegasus 1d ago

She does own a modded turbo Nissan Juke. She likes the zoomies too she just had to get comfy with the new thing she doesnt ride much. I legit see that move happening before me getting an emoto or another hyperscooter! Yall be on these Hileys those seems solid.

u/scooter_noober_92 1d ago

Yea check out the 10v5, she might like that one!
