ATC2k Wobble Video

The ATC2k mounted (strapped) to the side fairing of my 06 ZX10r.
Wobble is very bad when stopped, notice the white line at the start of the video and the two bikers at the end. While in motion the camera is "good enough"

hey man just a tip, I used that grippy drawer liner to go underneath whatever i strapped my ATC-2k on (fork tube and subframe of CRF150RB and frame sliders on a 675. It helped a lot with the vibrations.

p.s. do you know the lady on the 675? lol

[dyltone]

Thanks, I'll try that when the weather cools down a bit. And no, I no longer talk with the lady on the 675.

couldn't the wobble just be heat distortion from the engine???

[dyltone]

Doubt it, the engine air vent is behind the camera but I guess anything is possible.

[nickmoore05]

i would think the vibration would just be normal vibration on any bike with slight bumps in the road and the wind blowing by.. but seeing that it still did it when you stopped i would say the piece you mounted it on might have a little bit of flex to it

[dyltone]

The camera was strapped to the fairing using the supplied velcro strap throught the supplied mount, then once more around the back of the camera to limit movement.

@Anticitizen419 no, it isn't. How much heat do you think is coming from my HD's handlebars? I mounted the thing right next to the engine on my Buell and no diff.

I had terrible wobble from the ATC2K that I thought was from the rubber dampners on the handlebars. I attached it to my Buell and discovered the wind was the culprit. I could keep the wobble down if I braced or pulled the heavy front end of the camera and braced it. Never totally got rid of it and now I use a POVHD camera. Way better results. I'll upload the first one I shot with it zip tied to my turn signal stalk. I have some video's posted from the ATC.

that "wobble" is effect from the engine heat

[NextSLDNX]

im going to buy one..is it a good move???..want to use it on my bicycle and snowmobile

[eruption257]

This video makes me feel as if I was perpetually about to fall off of something. It must be the camera angle.

[DJRCMACH]

G'day, I think you'll find the wobble hard to get rid of as it's frequency related and comes from the engine vibration transmitted through the bike . note it doesn't happen when helmet mounted orhand held(hard to aim )

have a quick look at what I've filmed and you'll see the same effects going on from

both my hornet 900 and yzf600r

sincerely djrcmach

Happy corners guys.............

Wobbly video is not caused by engine heat. All cheap CMOS cameras suffer from this effect to some degree.  Do a search on "rolling shutter" to see why this happens.

The wobble normaly it´s generated by the high tension voltage from coil to spark plugs mate.
