TAT_17-N/A-Tom-N/A-Unknown Industries Stunt Show at Central Texas Harley Davidson – Rained out…

UPDATE 09/06/2014: They came back and here is the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fl3HD2rWQk4

I went to Central Texas Harley Davidson today to watch Unknown Industries riders perform some stunts. Sadly, the rain had a different schedule. I waited a bit but the rain seemed too much and I left. I did get to meet the riders, the guy from ZootFresh (USB charging solution for the Battery Tender plug) and see some pretty darn sweet motorcycles.

TAT_1-N/A-Tom-What Where Why_1-Introduction

—————————————————————————-
TAT CHANNEL INTRODUCTION – WHAT WHERE WHY
—————————————————————————-
This is the first channel video. It’s long and I apologize. I just tried to convey all of the information in one video. This text will be updated based on any new information. If you have a question, return here and you should find the answer.

WHAT – basically a channel where I can explore playing around on different toys. I define toys as anything that is fun – cars, trucks, planes, motorcycles – you get the picture. At times, I will provide something useful along the way. There are several series already planned.

Some Examples:
What Where Why
Mad Maps GOTA
Hidden Falls
Pflugerville Neighborhoods
Round Rock Neighborhoods
Georgetown Neighborhoods
Austin Neighborhoods
Robert
Jappi
Hello Kitty
Furley
Fwankenstein
Kayaks
Gear (Camera, audio, helmet, gloves and stuff like that)

WHERE – Everywhere but mostly in the Austin, TX area.

WHY – Because I like it. 🙂

We jabber about animal sounds and helmets.

My little buddy and I are taking a trip on Robert to cash in some Buddy Bucks again. We take these small, low-speed trips to get her used to riding on the motorcycle. She gets super excited and loves the special time.

TAT_5-N/A-Tom-Gear_2-Motovlog charging solution

Motovlogging gear charging solution? Yep, works for me!

I bought all of this cool gear to motovlog. I noticed quickly that I did not have enough plugs in my house for all of this junk. I didn’t have enough ports on my laptop either. So, I bought a powered USB hub and it works to charge as a stand-alone device and connected to my computers!

Joy!

Equipment:
Belkin – USB 2.0 7-Port Mobile Powered Hub – F4U018-BLK
Sena SMH-10
Sena GP10 Bluetooth Pack
GoPro Hero 3+ Black with remote
Wasabi Batteries
Fuji Finepix XP60

Filmed with a Canon HG-10 with WD-H43 Wide Converter lens

TAT_4-N/A-Tom-Gear_1-Sena Bluetooth Pack for GoPro Quick Audio Test

—————————————————————————-
SENA BLUETOOTH PACK FOR GOPRO QUICK AUDIO TEST
—————————————————————————-
While motovlogging, people mention that their exhaust and other sounds cannot be heard while using the Sena Pack. I just received mine and ran a quick audio test to display its performance. I think that the graph outlines the points where the audio is not recorded better than a sound test. I compared it to a Neewer 3.5mm Hands Free Computer Clip on Mini Lapel Microphone from Amazon. It came in a 3 pack really cheap. They work great and I don’t have any complaint.

It’s just a simple test – don’t razz me to much about it. The audio test is after the end of the video if you wanted to try it.

As a note: I did notice about 10% larger files when recording with the MIC ON on the Sena Pack. Just something to consider.

The audio test points (5 seconds each):
40Hz
80Hz
160Hz
320Hz
1000Hz
2000Hz
4000Hz
8000Hz
16000Hz
20-20kHz sweep

Speakers in the test:
Yamaha Powered Studio Monitors – HS50M

Other products used:
– Sena Bluetooth Pack GP10 (s/w version 1.0)
– Sena SMH10 Motorcycle Bluetooth Headset and Intercom
– GoPro Hero 3+ Black

My uncle passed away today in Germany. He shared a passion for motorcycles as well as working with his hands. He will be missed dearly as he is like my second father and was very much a tool that formed me growing up.

Love your family.
