i don't have much interest in spending time seeking justice on irresponsible drivers. my camera is more for the sake of shooting street. unless a driver falsely accuses me of causing damage.

mounted to my blendr without the gopto extension, i get almost shakleess video despite the lack of on-camera or post stabilization. due to how how close to the handlebar the camera is mounted, it experiences almost no vibration. i owe this trick to the manager or village cycle center in chicago, who pointed out that the blender and gopro use the exact same mount. the fact that a blendr gopro mount exists is some sort of strange joke.
i record my entire ride. it records for over an hour and half, which is sufficient for all my commutes. i don't record road biking for exercise, as that would be the equivalent to recording paint drying.
now i gotta learn to edit to make the videos worthwhile. right now i just have hundreds of miles of commute. i still get high and watch them. i don't know why, but for some reason i enjoy it. i should go through them and pull out the good stuff. i gotta do something, as i'm running out of hard drives.
