Title: Testing out my GPS feature on the Sony Action Cam
Post by: RG on January 22, 2018, 02:14:13 PM
Well since I didn't make a video of the butt smoking I figured I'd share a video that I DID make. I wanted to test the GPS tracking feature of my camera. It's nifty but it does have a lag, for most people it will not be an issue but on this particular ride it just couldn't track me as fast as a stand alone GPS would. The actual GPS on my bike accurately showed my speed in real time. If I were to use it on a bicycle or kayak, it'd be a non-issue for sure. I took of fairly quick towards the end of the video on an empty country road with no traffic. I got up to 103 and it showed 85 I think. I normally behave myself, I promise I don't drive like this as a habit. I just was feeling spry :)

The video was shot in 4K but Youtube compresses the snot out of it and makes the video have ghosting and pixelation. Nothing I can do about it except complain  :P

Anyhoo, I will be doing more cooking videos and will post them as I make them if there is interest. Some may be on the KBQ, some may be on a pellet grill. I might even come up with an UUNI video.

Looks a lot like Wisconsin on a nice sunny day in early November. Not January though. ;D

Cool video cam!  I may have to invest in one to use on my bike!
