Thanks for another great video. I have now ordered a Innovv K5. Looks great.
Keep up the great Videos man! Only problem is they make me want to keep upgrading my gl1500 to be a James Bond Goldwing like yours!
Greetings from Wales, UK. Nice video.
I couldn't get my phone to connect to the Innovv Wi-Fi. Had a heck of a time. Finally put phone in Airplane mode with wifi on and no problem! Suspect that was your issue too. Good video. I have mounted my K5 on a '22 Moto Guzzi V85 TT.
Great video…. I will definitely be looking into the K5 👍 but what I most took away from this video was the hack how to open a Ziploc bag by rubbing it between your thumb and fingers, I had to go to the kitchen straightaway and try it 👊
Excellent video now that gives me a idea for my 2020 goldwing how to install it.
Brilliant and captivating video. Too many TH-camrs use there channels to make themselves the focus of the content... which probably works for younger viewers. But for serious minded viewers this understated delivery is perfect. I did an imaginary jump for joy when, at the 58 minute mark, the app worked as it should! 😆 This long video was more entertaining and useful than the last ten movies I have watched!
Thanks for the very kind words. Yes, it was a surprise to me when it suddenly worked, as you could tell! It's worked consistently ever since, so I'm not sure why it wasn't at first.
@@GoldwingDocs I know this is somewhat an old post by now, but unless you have the camera powered up, the app for it won’t be able to connect with the camera and be able to adjust the settings or see what is stored in its memory.
Well explained installation 🇬🇧👍
Great review!! I have the K5, you can download multiple files at once if you hit "edit" first. Oh, and I had the same problem with the app the first day as well. INNOVV and OCD Tronic (distributor) have been VERY helpful!!
Thanks for this! I wish I had figured that out earlier!
I have had no problem playing the files. I used VLC to play them, and they also loaded into Adobe Premiere with no issue as well.
you have a excellent video of this camera and all involed thx
Carry a extra card in case you have to give the first one to a police officer, insurance agent, or your attorney. Nice video especially with the extra info on the install. I'll keep the K1 I already have.
Good tip!
Nice job!
Greetings to you from Iraq
Well done.
Just FYI, I watch TH-cam primarily on my 4K TV... you should record 4K more often. It future proofs your videos exponentially.
Don't expect this to give you Hollywood production quality but it is definitely more than good enough to show your insurance or show the police exactly what happened during an accident and prove that a car merged into your lane or cut in front of you without warning. Without video evidence in motorcycle accidents they always blame speed as a factor and put you at least partially at fault.
I bought this and put this kit in my 92 Concours. Seems to work alright. App is a bit iffy but it works just fine.
Goodevening Scott I have a 2020 goldwing in my case I do understand that I will need to put the YELLOW wire the accessory terminal but i tried the positive on the acc terminal and nothing??
great video!!!@
After seeing the front camera module I'm glad I chose BleSky cause the camera is separate yet still as big not a tiny little thing like cheapos I've tried.
The BluSky is 1080P only. As of right now, there are no 4K cameras where the 4K camera module is separate from the DVR - as far as I know. I suspect this is because the camera has to do a lot of processing and the data rate is high.
@@GoldwingDocs Just to let you know fix plexi glass in front of your lens I've used my cam system for over 12000 miles already have rock chips on glass lens unlike your model you have to replace the whole unit my suggestion is that big camera box needs to go to the rear of the bike easier cheaper if you have to replace replace the cam lens camera unit. What is your sim card you can use the Blue ski uses a 128GB A1 not cheap but can hold around 9 hours of recording at interval recordings at 5mins 111 clips of 5 mins long total 222 slides. Just to let you know I had caught some great footage so far. Some close calls I had from idiots. Not to mention my welding ability on a cooler caddy I built for a 39CI Igloo cooler it started to fall apart after using it for years the cover flew off first watched cars dodge it then the steel rack started to come apart seen steel flat bar falling onto road then the cooler went sliding bye bye if there been no wind it would of went right into the bumper of a Simi truck it just slid to the right side of the rode hit the edge of emergency lane and dust like it exploded... Also caught a Rock slide just 8 vehicles whom like emergency stopped on road.
I just bought the K5 and I’m a tech guy and while I love it the design is a little on the poor side. The cables coming off of the front camera should be long enough to run toward the middle or back of the bike. This may not be an issue for bigger bikes (touring) but depending on your sport bike you may have some wires showing. I installed this on my 1290 Super Duke GT and it came out nice. INNOVV we need longer cables going backwards not towards the front. We need a section in the manual or online explaining every setting in the app and we will be golden. I’m ok with the size of the front unit but the cables ugh
I agree with all your points, and in fact I mentioned the cable length a couple of times in this video. The app could really have to do with some more documentation as to the functions in it.
Yes Great idea but now everything is on the front and you need to do some cable management to make it look decent. With everything in front in crash will it get destroyed and lose footage because of DVR damage? just curious as if box was in middle of bike would be harder to damage DVR box, again just curious
Seems like the camera system is def suited for B-roll shooting. I have 2 BMW Adventure bikes that I tour around the world and would love to outfit it with this but thats a ton of doe for an emergency camera. If it was a GoPro replacement with less banding and a much higher bit rate it would be a dunk -- I. would absolutely do it without a thought about money if it could replace my GoPro as well. I get it that the intensions are different -- the K5 vs GoPro -- but with one more evolutionary upgrade -- it could be there and offer both benefits -- a great tour capturing vlog action camera and an emergency camera. What is your thoughts on that?
It does have one higher bitrate, which I will likely try to see how the banding and artifacts are affected. High bitrate 4K videos are unwieldy however! I'm hoping to use it for exactly that - vlog and emergency.
I like it but i feel the main control unit should be someplace in the middle of the bike not at the very front, great video.on how it works.
The reason the dvr is part of the front camera is the 4k video won’t do well with a long cable going from the sensor to the dvr so it’s all built into one unit
@@jaredfowler2431 Since 4K requires a lot of bandwidth, most not all cables cannot transfer the resolution over distances of more than three meters. 9'10" if you put it in the center of the bike that about 4' long and should be more than apposite for the task. But i do understandable your point as well.
Great review ! Very helpful. For what this kit suppose to do, it is worth it. Your bike engine sounds really good. How many miles you have on her? I own 2020 GW DCT Tour. I have to start looking for locations for all the components. That tape is excellent.
Just over 90,000 miles, so she's ALMOST broken in. :)
@@GoldwingDocs Wonderful !!! I saw one with 146000 at a gas station. She sounded like she had 10K
@@GoldwingDocs 🤣
Jesus... 14000 views and only 374 likes? There's no dislikes, so that's just inconsiderate!
I totally agree. :)
I have my k5 on its way. Does it have a way to turn off all the GPS and time stamp stuff want just a clean video.
Yes, in the application you can do this.
Is there anyway you can post a video on how to open a gl1500 trunk with the latch bar not attached to the finger pull tab under the trunk. I messed up and closed mine after working on the latch assembly
Ouch. Very common problem when the latch assembly is not put back together using the correct technique. It's been talked about on the site a few times, including a couple tutorials. See:
goldwingdocs.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=23051
goldwingdocs.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=62664
@@GoldwingDocs thanks we were able to go through the rear of the trunk and take the two latches off the trunk with a long screw driver
The dvr being put together w the front camera means too many wires having to be routed from the beak back under the gas tank.
Actually there are only two: one for the power, one for the rear camera.
Love the cam, but I’m not very techy. Where could I go to get this installed?
Probably any independent bike shop would be able to do this for you.
Does it matter which way the GPS device is facing. I’m wondering if I mount it pointing slightly to the left if it will show my bike sideways in the app.
It doesn't have a compass in it - that's not how GPS navigation works - so it will work fine no matter how you position it. As long as the top of it is pointing up and has an unobscured view of the sky, it will work fine.
@@GoldwingDocs Thank you. I have mine under the passenger seat so let’s see how that works out. I watched another TH-camr install his under the seat and he said he hasn’t had any issues.
Great instruction!
I have a need for a front and rear camera and this is the unit I'll purchase. As I carry my laptop for distance trips, I have a tip from my trucking days; " for police I've carried extra flash drives to download just the video they need"! Getting video cards back from police and insurance has always been a hassle.
and flash drives are cheap!
I just bought an 06 GL1800 and my mounting may require drilling to hide the cameras.
My question pertains to lenses. I've run dash cams, but now this unit will be out in the elements. Does anyone have a suggestion to protect and clean the lens? Thank You in advance.
You all are in my prayers
Hoka Hey
You can also just download the video you want directly to your phone over the built-in Wifi, and share it that way.
I use just the same Honda Spray Cleaner and Polish to clean and protect the lens that I use on the rest of the bike. It has worked amazingly well: amzn.to/39hkL4u
@@GoldwingDocs Thank You Sir
Way to many cables from the camera for a motorcycle. The DVR should be separate from the camera. Nice video Thanks
That was my first thought as well. I really thought it was going to be a problem, but once I got it installed, it worked quite well.
They might do better by having a single cable bundling them all together from the camera, and then have them split apart, which you could hide in the bike somewhere.
Hi . Would this camera connect to a thunderbox ?
I had to look up what a Thunderbox was. Go ahead, Google it, see what it comes up with, I dare you. :) :) :)
In any case, I did find the product you're talking about, and yes, it would.
@@GoldwingDocs I can only imagine what it comes up with , but thanks for the info much appreciated .
Why did you not mount the camera in the centre?
Because if you hit a large bump, the front forks can compress enough that the fender would hit it. Technically it still could of the steering was full right, but if your front suspension is compressing fully while the steering is at full lock, you have other, more seroius problems to deal with!
@@GoldwingDocs I don't think your suspension will compress that far. I've seen plenty of other cameras mounted in the centre and not get hit.
It does, and it would. I measured before installing.
Can't connect to android phone but connects to iPhone anyone help me out?
Looking better those Motorcycle cameras. But not going to invest in something like this before Bitrate goes up A LOT more and 4k 60fps front and back.I am saying that I want that option on a motorcycle camera system like this to use 4k 60fps if I wanted to. But this is limited to 4k 30fps with too low bitrate and only full HD in the back with extremely low bitrate..Not good enough. If I am going on a road trip or something I want good looking video with high quality with 60 fps and high bitrate.
Only 30 fps. Doesn't matter if it is 4k...it is still 30 fps.
Who does b roll anymore????
I tried to go to your website and as a result I was scammed upon registration out of $41.00 !!!
The app should use Bluetooth. Too many bugs in the app to recommend. DVR should not be in a camera. Improved the system in the wrong areas.
There are technical reasons for what they did.
1. Bluetooth is FAR too slow to do transfers of video from the camera to the phone. For 4K video, it would take hours to transfer just a few minutes of video. That's why pretty much ALL video camera management apps for modern cameras nowadays use Wifi.
2. The bandwidth of 4K video presents some real challenges in transmitting the video reliably to a remote DVR. I agree, it's not idea to have the DVR in the camera.
3. The app did have a few bugs originally, but it is remarkably reliable and stable today.
Seems a lot of installation just to take a video. I like my action camera on my helmet, it sees what I see and it goes where I go, not just stuck to the motorcycle all the time.
This is a lot more than an action camera, obviously. It records front and rear, and is a parking monitor camera as well - neither of which you will get with a helmet-mounted camera. You also don't have to worry about charging batteries or batteries running out, or remembering to hit "record" or anything else - you just ride, and it works automatically.
@@GoldwingDocs I have a USP power plug on my bike so just plug in the camera and don't have to worry about the battery running down, I also plug my GPS into it, as far as all that other stuff, I have no need for it. I can move the camera from vehicle to vehicle, with no problem, and I can take it with me when I leave the vehicle and keep taking video, and really don't understand what I would need a parking monitor camera on a motorcycle for. But there are a lot of people out there that like to have all these toys, so I would say, you will sell a lot of them to people who have the money to spend on them. Have a great day stay well and enjoy the ride, I will. as soon as it stops snowing LOL
Nice...but ridiculous price. If you have it installed by a real professional it will nearly cost the price of my bike...😂
If they did not fix the problematic GPS system and crappy connectors then releasing a 4K version is putting lipstick on a pig.
The GPS is rock solid, and updates VERY quickly. The connectors are also solid and waterproof.
That said, I did not have problems with either the GPS or the connectors on my K2.
I had a K2 on my last bike before it got totaled. I was considering the K3 and the K5. Decided on the K3 because of that whole thing with the connectors all the way up front, and the DVR and SD card in the front camera. The K3 is the same style as the K2 but with the updated features of the K5. Better connectors, remote, and microphone.
