How to turn 3 seconds of moving timelapse into 33 seconds of madness

Helmet-cam?  Nice collection of shots.

pocket2 in time lapse mode
Mounted on handlebar and lifted with a selfie stick to get it above the screen
not ideal because the selfie stick makes it wobble a bit, but I am working on that - must steady it somehow

Nice try.
I would speed it up much more, so it gets more smooth.
Not sure if you have a ND filter, but adding that would even make it more cool!

oooh. Thats a bit freaky.   

Most creative Droffarc.    Amazing what you can do with a little time lapse mode in the P2.  So a couple of wobbles so I'm not sure if was caused by how and where it was mounted or what.  Anyway, interesting job.

Ja, the whole thing was only 3 seconds in length, so I slowed it down to the slowest setting to get more length.
No ND filter for the p2, only a uv filter but will experiment some more just now. Main priority at this time is to eliminate the wobble as far as possible.
I tried sticking the p2 to my helmet - stayed for a while then fell off before I rode.
Going to use the same set-up again but without the 133gm doodall handle - maybe will produce less wobble when riding on rough surfaces.

try and try again - more peaky less freaky

Thanks DownTown, need to eliminate that damn wobble.

I'm sure it will have problems to compensate for the fast bumps you get when riding a motorcycle.
It had problems when riding a bike already.
I had to hold it with my hand.

I have seen articles regarding a Z axis but the equipment looks combersome and clunky.
Looking at the hyperlaps I did there seems little trace of wobble - I will probably use that unless I am shooting something other than the trip

Needs a little smoothing out for me.   But a fun effect,  Im sure Ive seen it used in a film before.

Just make the capture longer and use davinci for stabilizing.

Sorry, no da vinci - Leonardo has left the building - I use shotcut (32bit version) and have not noted that I can stabilize

It is free and quite good.
(takes some time to get used to, but....)

I have no doubt you'll figure it out.  I thought it might just be the way you had it mounted.  

Happy Holidays!

might give it another bash sometime - last time the learning curve was too steep for my lame brain.

You know of course that Leonardo receieved his surname from the town he was born in (sort of like van den berg or van den plas (leyland rover ridiculous name - of the puddle of water)). So if I have it correct he was born in a little town with a little wine (da wyjntje)

Which meant that he was a bit of a bastard, not having a father and all. Some speculate that his father may have been a time traveller, but that would have produced a paradox of sorts.

It has a steeep curve.
But for making a stabilized hyperlapse from DNG files, I know no other editor that is free and does such a good job. (and if you only use it for that, it is still a great tool)

Hello there Droffarc. Good day and thank you for posting this cool video you have filmed using your DJI Pocket 2. Great work and keep filming. .

Certainly catches the madness aspect :-D That's something you don't see every day, so points for the originality
