The TEAM GIXXER **SMACKTALKAPALOOZA** PART DEAUX - Barber 20-21 OCT 2012

Optional plan is for you to come get my generator out of my trailer and I'll haul your bike down. You would need to haul the genset down in case anyone wanted power. (I just gotta remember to turn it OFF for the riders meetings!)

We have a old truck that I drive some that was my uncles. Guess I will be driving that for a while. If Wes gets to come he can bring it in his trailer, and I will just drive Pams car. Its a 2 wheel drive truck so its not to high off the ground anyway. :)
 
Keith, are you sure you don't belong back down in "I" anyways??? I mean if you're not first, YOUR LAST! And you clearly aren't first, so maybe you should drop back down to "I" and learn a few more things from Charlie :laugh:


PS. I LOVE SMACKTALK!!!!!!

I've just been setting you up all year long Jay.....
 
Sucks about the Expedition, Tim, but we'll make sure you get down there and back. Let me know if you need anything.

My new Handroid gloves came in today. As I feared, they are the largest size available, but still too tight. Other than the fit, I really like the gloves. :banghead::banghead::banghead:

I'll call STG in the morning and get something else on the way.
 
Have you stopped by Cycle Gear up in Knoxville?

Yeah, the best gloves they stock are the Dainese Carbon Cover that I had before and the Alpinestars SP-2. I want better protection than those two offer.

I'm think I'm going to try something from Held. Either the Phantom or Titan.
 
Ok, I now have the Itunes apps loaded/connected on both my Iphone and wife's Ipad and got it working. Iphone and Ipad app pretty cool. As far as I can tell, it will only control one camera at a time (as each wifi backpack is it's own network), AND, you have to set the camera to work with Ipad/pod OR the wifi remote ON THE CAMERA (cannot control with ipad/pod AND remote at same time - it's an either/or deal).

You MUST software update (thru Cineform Studio) the camera, the backpack AND the remote (this was actually the hardest part, as all devices must be fully charged with empty sd cards loaded - for me that was 5 devices).

After updating all devices:

On the iPad/pod: Turn on the wifi backpack, go to ipod/pad and go to settings/wifi and turn on wifi: If the backpack is on you will see the name of your wifi backpack (set in cineform studio). You will need to remember the wifi password you used when you first set up your backpack (thank goodness I remembered mine, the default is goprohero). Once you get your ipad/pod to connect to their 'networks', then go to the gopro app, and the last backpak you connnected will be the one the Ipad/pod controls. I went upstairs (30 ft away) and it was still connecting and controlling the camera.

I have no idea what the battery life is in ipad/pod mode, probably not nearly as long as the remote (with everything charged, my backpacks/remote will work about 8 hours). I notice that the delay from camera to i-device is about 5 seconds.

For Trackdays, I think the remote is the best deal as it will control multiple camera's at once (the 2-camera vids I posted were synced in this method). For playback, you will have to set the camera to ipad mode, then connect to the wifi, then control it with the ipad - which might be cool if you don't have the remote or want to watch what you've previously recorded (but I'd put the backpack on a charger if I was going to do that more than a few moments).
