I think it would be fine as long as you don't do any hill climbing!  :cooldude:

Willow

No.  I wouldn't like to see that happen with a Valkyrie.   :D 

CajunRider

Wow... We don't got hills like that in Louisiana!!   ;D 

The camera did a good job not being busted while tumbling through the snow... so I think it'll work well.

Does it say in the details of that posted video what camera and mount was used for the video?  Kind of looks like a gopro video to me......but what do I know.

What I've got for now to shoot video's on the valk is a fairly cheap waterproof camera (kodak playsport) that is waterproof up to 10' of water and can be bought for close to $100 or less for the older version like I have.  There is a newer version of this camera but it has the same specs for video (shoots video up to 1080p) and digital camera (5MP camera) the only thing they added was a share button to the camera for youtube uploads.  Basically the same thing can be accomplished with the older version for about 60 bux less.



It's mounted on a RAM mount on the bars but I need to work on where it's mounted to get rid of windshield glare.

Here's a video we shot on Jan. 6 for our first ride of 2012 :cooldude:

The part I could not understand was it probably already rolled a couple hundred times coming off the mountain and at the bottom they were intent on stopping it from rolling.  I figure stopping the last few rolls was not going to help it any :uglystupid2:

Hundreds of metal spikes on some of those tracks. Just stay the hell away.
Boxer rebellion, the Holy Child. They all pay their rent.
But none together can testify to the rhythm of a road well bent.
Saddles and zip codes, passports and gates, the Jones' keep.
In August the water is trickling, in April it's furious deep.

Damn, I would have been climbing those rock walls when I finally stopped and saw that sled coming up behind me instead of trying to catch it. Of course, that's easy to say when it wasn't "my sled".
