It always is, but... I did notice a few decorations were missing. Last year they had more but I think they were damaged by heavy rains. It seems they didn't replace them this year. Considering the display is free to view and they only accept donations, I'm guessing they aren't getting enough to cover the costs.

Thank you, I might do another more in depth physical comparison video later. Realized a few things about the Q3 after I posted the vid.

I need to make a tabletop showing the different lights. The wide flood light is the one that dies quickly. I have 3 spot lights like the one mounted to the helmet, I call it the headlamp in the video. I recorded this video before the new charger arrived the EUC was on like 1 or 2 bars charge. The Pocket camera is too delicate to risk having it in my hand even with a lanyard.

I've been playing around with all that, just today something new happened, I couldn't connect to the app, had to make a new log in and now when I connect to the wheel it says calibration failed, on top of the old message that it has an error. Going to try getting help from Inmotion again. Kind of glad I didn't drop $2000 on a new wheel under the black friday deal.

Thanks, might do it again when I have the free time.

Did you post that vid already (I've been forgetting to post vids, lately). This camera is much better for low light than the action cam and once I get the new charger for this EUC I will make a few night ride videos along the back roads.

@@BklynOutdoors yeah the cemetery vid was earlier this year th-cam.com/video/GevIW_1qUak/w-d-xo.html

Maybe, it was low earlier and I had added air, but the wheel really needed a calibration, once I did that it was better. Right now the wheel is almost dead, waiting on a new charger (3rd one so far). And I just realized I have more videos I recorded that I forgot about. Trying to get them edited now. What do you think of the low light image quality compared to the Action camera?

@ I will try to set up a two-video side-by-side viewing system and then compare them. Will report back later.

@@haroldsmith45302 I will make a short video edit of the two vids side by side for members only

@ Cool. You could ask members to vote for their preferred night-time camera system.

Actually, I'm going to have to make a new recording, looks like the Pocket 2 recording was deleted.

I have a helmet mounted tail light. Actually, I made a video about the lights I have... shit, did I forget to post that video too? These videos were posted late, btw, I thought I had posted them last week, but they were just sitting there waiting to be posted. I don't explore cemeteries at night. But that does remind me; there is a cemetery for the old Mental Hospital near by, it's just an empty grass field, no tombstones, just a sign saying what it was. I want to get a trail camera and mount it there for a few hours over night to see if it picks up anything weird.

@ I did not mean to imply that you habitually explore graveyards after dark. It was comedic licence. I might have missed your EUC lighting video. The ominously-pushed-up soil phenomenon is more likely to be a thing at the Psychiatric Hospital cemetery. Don't let an undead arm grab you by the leg.

10:28 - Werewolf cub? No but something far more deadly, something called "Not Deer", I was lucky to escape .

@@haroldsmith45302 I would do it if I wasn't afraid of getting arrested for trespassing or running into violent people. If you notice the other videos I made around the abandoned mental hospital, if it's night I don't stop riding.

I posted the Pocket 2 version of that same ride, looks so much better, but it's fixed to my chest so it only shows directly in front.

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching.

Change seems to be the theme here. The last 5 years that I have been here has bee gradual change, businesses changing hands and a lot of new developments. BTW, that shoulder I rode on was really wide, the camera makes everything look closer, I was anxious editing the video, but during the ride it was fine. Couple times the camera perspective made it look like I was narrowly missing the curbs, but in reality I had plenty of space.

Since making that video I stopped calling it a bike and now I just call it "The Wheel" (my motorcycle is now "The Bike") But now that you mention it, I got an idea, since they call it a unicycle, but UNO means one, should I just call it the UNOcycle? Also, definitely going to try and go back there tomorrow and record all the changes since I recorded this video back in March.

@ Maybe some day you will show us more of the rail trail or the trails at Middletown Reservoir Trails; the destination of your first long ride - but only if it won't attract attention from the grumps.

I made a bunch of videos there, if I can salvage them I'll post them. Had a lot of issues with video, audio and memory cards that ruined a bunch of videos.

@ Don't worry if perfection is not possible. Whatever you can salvage will be worth watching. But you might want to shelve that sequence of the talking squirrels; even though it happened, people won't believe it.

@haroldsmith45302 Trying to get a few more vids out; the editing is time consuming and free time is harder to come by.

That was recorded in March of this year, forgot to caption that in the video, only edited it today after I found the "lost" audio file. After watching it I realized how much that area has changed since then. Might go tomorrow and record an update video to that area.

I wish I could go inside, but I won't risk it.

A lot of the buildings that were closed off have been purchased and renovated, seems like part of a new school they made. The mental hospital seems to be one of only a few buildings that haven't been bought up, yet. I try my best to be aware of what's on the ground, to avoid potential problems, I cut out a part in the video, talking about the pine needles on the ground and how after a rain it could be really slippery... I talk a lot in these videos but I also cut out a lot from the final edit since half the time the stuff I am talking about isn't interesting to most people. Most of my gear I have is "no name" cheap amazon stuff that sells out and is gone for good. It's always a gamble, sometimes it's good, sometimes it's crap. Good thing is they have a good return policy.

Thank you for the encouragement

Thanks, that's the end of the fall colors, though. It's just ugly, depressing, grey until the first major snowfall, at least.

Wish I had stopped there when I had the chance; sadly, the reasons I had for visiting the area are no longer available. It would be a very long road trip for me now.

I'm terrible when it comes to maintenance, I always forget to do the basic things. Hopefully, I remember tomorrow.

@@wje2 Sadly all the leaves are gone already. It's going to be barren and gloomy looking up there for a while, but I am looking forward to when it starts snowing.

@@Jeremybaland I'm not sure but it might be the case with all these wheels, it's built into their system, if it detects a fault it shuts down to avoid potential injury. The real hassle is getting them to unlock it.

@@BklynOutdoors That makes sense with all the liability on the companies these days.

@@Jeremybaland Supposedly, Inmotion has a better track record for reliability than the other EUC companies, but IDK personally, since this is the only one I own.

@@iworkout6912 I haven't seen anyone else riding one of these here, either. I know in NYC they have groups of riders but outside the 5 boroughs I haven't seen anything. Electric scooters and ebikes are becoming popular up up here but no EUCs. Seems like I am the only one, so far.

If it wasn't considered trespassing I would absolutely want to go inside and explore it, but besides the risks of falling through floors, possible dangerous people and not having any friends to help out, I wouldn't want to risk arrest for trespassing.

For now; in another 2 weeks or so it will be grey, gloomy and devoid of color... not my favorite time of year.

They do work well, and this camera makes low light look really good, too.

Actually the audio improvement is from the camera, I'm using the DJI Pocket 2 which is much better for low light than the OSMO Action (which I used in the previous video), the bonus seems to be the sound quality, the Action camera was picking up a lot of weird distortion which I had to lower the volume of in post, the camera seems to handle the audio much better, didn't even have to adjust it. Unfortunately, the bike is too loud to record commentary.

In a local park, Fancher Davidge Park, to be exact

Thanks, glad you liked it

Looking forward to it. PA is not a place I usually visit, anymore. I recorded the ride simultaneously with both cameras to see which is better, but I can't seem to decide, hoping for more feedback about.

Working on it; apparently I need to make an appointment with a tech to remotely access my wheel, problem is the time difference with China. Hopimg to get it back on soon, before the weather gets too cold.

Really? Hope it looked good on camera

I'm not a professional, I just played around with the different image editing options that video editing apps have to try and get the effect. I haven't tried it in while, maybe I'll try it again using the new CapCut software.

Thanks you.

Thanks, I have more coming, this was one long drive that is broken into sections. I also have a motorcycle ride coming up

Nope, it's actually become pretty busy over the last few years, if you want quiet and empty you have to go further north or NorthWest, a lot of people (me included) have moved here from the city, already

Sadly I missed the peak colors by almost 2 weeks, Winter gets there much sooner than where I am in Middletown

Great job! It's actually Roscoe to Downsville

@@NYGiantsPreservationSociety LOL, I didn't even realize I titled it backwards. Glad you liked it, the next video is going to continue from Downsville to Walton.

​@@BklynOutdoorsBeen on that road so many times in the past on the way to get daughter at SUNY ONEONTA and Hall of Fame

Glad to help change title!

Glad to hear that you have found memories, I hope to take a motorcycle ride there soon to make an updated video.

Hoping to take a new ride through there before all the leaves fall this season, should look better.

Hoping to take a motorcycle ride through this area soon, before all the leave fall.

Yes it was, sadly this year I wasn't able to make many Summer videos, but I hope to have some beautiful Autumn videos to share.

That place is such a beautiful area, I only wish I had more time to enjoy it during the Summer.

Glad you enjoyed the video, the area is changing a lot every day.
