Vholdr software

I wonder if a mount with a smaller diameter base that was more flexible would be better suited for a motorcycle helmet. Or how about a mount that can be fastened up under the bottom of the helmet shell, so that it can be removed and which could also be transportable to other helmets? The mount slides in to the rails molded into the base of the camera and holds fast with a detent molded in to the rails. I think it would be better if the camera locked on to the rails, because as it is now, a not-too-hard hit to the back of the camcorder can easily knock it off the mounting rails.

VholdR does offer a square mount, a goggle mount, a handlebar mount that looks too low to me and a roll bar mount for larger diameter round bars and tubes. I think they should throw a few extra mounts in with the camera, considering the price.

The VholdR stores the video file on a microSD memory card. So I usually end up taking out the microSD card and inserting it in the SD card adapter and plugging it in to a memory card reader to get the.

Tip from visitor E. It can only charge via the USB port, which means that your computer must be on the whole time. I plugged mine in at about pm one day, and at am, 12 hours later, the red light was still on, meaning it was still charging. Once the microSD memory is installed and the battery is charged, the VholdR camcorder is turned on by pressing and holding a membrane-type button on the back for a couple of seconds.

A very tiny red light, located under the front of the camcorder, will glow when the VholdR is powered up, but this light is very hard to see outdoors. The lens can be rotated through degrees, and there are two laser pointers on either side of the lens, under the clear lens cover, that allow the user to align the lens horizontally or vertically. They have been re-compressed by YouTube, so they are lower quality than the actual raw video from the VholdR.

For some reason, Adobe Premier Elements 3. Premier Elements Version 4. I had a minute or so. This should have been about a half-hour process, but it took me several hours of processing, rebooting both the computer and Premier Elements and a lot of other messing around to finally get about 2 minutes of video.

Still, this is something to note. Note that because the. It does look to me like the uploading and sharing portion of the VholdR website is optimized for the Xvid codec and the videos there look similar to the quality that can be expected right out of the camcorder and played on your computer with Windows Media Player.

Then I got an email from VholdR letting me know there was a software update for the camera. There was a link to download what I thought was the update. Of all four types of motorcycle racing, road racing is the best-regarded adrenaline motorcycle sport by combining knee-down action, huge straight-line, and speed with high levels of concentration, skilled machine-control and fitness. In the UK, British Motorcycle Grand Prix and British Superbike Championship are highly anticipated by adrenaline aficionados, while other motorcycle championships are also taking place throughout the year.

Being a road racing event, the British Motorcycle Grand Prix is conducted on custom made racetracks, converted airfields and on closed public roads and employs four-stroke engines, i. In , cc two-strokes were replaced by cc four-stroke class for Moto2. In , the engine capacity for MotoGP increased from cc to 1,cc. To help alleviate this, we found that installing a soft bumper that took up the play in between teh mount and camera provided a more stable recording experience.

The camera mounts also have a security leash but if the mount falls off, you can loose the camera. The community based system lets you interact tag where videos were made, leave comments, embed, etc and is a nice feature that helps you share and index your videos easily as well as free.

Both the VHoldR and YouTube convert the videos to lower resolutions as part of the uploading process. Try as we might, we found no way of inserting our VirtualDub edited videos into the VHoldR software gallery. To this end, the software is fairly basic and acts as a mild extension of the web based interface. One thing we really did like about the software, however, was that it provided an easy way to check for VHoldR firmware updates.

The VHoldR is a competent little unit which looks and feels like it will survive some fairly tough knocks. While our first unit did not ultimately prove to be as resilient as we first thought, our second unit performed perfectly. Furthermore, our understanding is that our second unit was a slightly updated model which is as of the time of writing the version currently available for purchase.

The audio and video generally stayed synced in our test videos but it did occasionally go amiss. Alternatively the ability to use an external microphone might improve things in this regard. Overall the VHoldR rates a solid 7 out of 10, losing marks for its inability to cope with loud noise but gaining marks pretty much everywhere else.
