Camera and Audio Testing / CX500 Scrambler Riding!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 ก.พ. 2023
- Bonus video this week! I have been changing various camera settings as well as audio setups so what better way to test than to rip on the CX500 Scrambler build! This video is nothing fancy but may give other creators a couple ideas as to what I am doing. Share your thoughts!
This bike is a Honda CX500 Scrambler I am finishing up. It has been a very cool build with a focus of going offroad for long distance. Check out the full build playlist here: • CX500 Scrambler Build!
Main camera: GoPro Hero 5 Black
2.7k, gopro color, stabilization on.
Audio between helmet mic and a basic foam wind sock
Bar camera: Akaso EK7000 4k
2.7k 30fps - decent but I have limited use of this so far
Audio - don't even try its never been useable.
Drone is a DJI Mavic Mini
2.7k and I forget what frame rate. I love this thing!

Also, I smell some more "raw sound POV" content coming soon hehe cant wait
100% 😎
Brilliant fella, you are a great fabricator, your attention to detail is excellent, love seeing you bring these 70's icons back to life, keep up the Brilliant work.👌👌👌👌👌👍
🙏🙏
That came out great! What a fun build! Back when I was a youngster, my wife and I used to take my CX 500 Custom camping. Same burgundy paint on the tank, same luggage rack, bigger windshield. We took that bike (stock) on logging roads all over the Mogollon Rim in AZ. We looked like the Clampetts with our camping gear lashed on. Thanks for that rush of great memories! And, yeah, it sounds terrific!
Thanks Tracy!
I know nothing about videos or editing but I think most of your vids are quite good. It looks like you put considerable effort into everything you do.
That I do and very much appreciate it!
Love the builds. Those old hondas are just a great base to be different
Agreed! The CX isn't amazing at anything but its fun trying everything
the amazing thing about them is that you can put 80k miles on the engine, with nothing but normal maintenance, and 10, 000 rpm on a 500/650 twin is a bit unusual...
Camera POV higher is better for sure. Not sure if it's feasible, but a line running the mic to around the muffler (like a lapel mic), with the gain turned way down, would probably give the sweetest sound.
I spotted your question on Revzilla, made me smile to see your name there :)
Hope it got you a few views in the process. You do damn good work, and teach us a lot in the process.
(Edited for a minor typo, but I hate typo's!)
Id like to come up with a solid video and audio setup with my current stuff. Always a work in progress
@@BrickHouseBuilds onwards and upwards . I've been following you for quite some time now and really enjoy your videos. People will always bitch about audio, and they almost always know nothing about bikes or editing.
Looks like the bike is running great. I'm spending way too much time each day trying to figure out which way I want to go with my 81 CX500 build. Your awesome builds make it even harder.
Haha thank ya! The cx/gl platform is cool as you can go any direction and have something fun
Love that Modern JPS display !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very nice camera angles, drone footage was cool. Good stuff!
The bike looks great and much of your video was totally usable! Great work as usual, dude! 🍻🤘💜
Thanks Andy!
Actually I think it’s a good quality video. Bike is not loud and obnoxious, so that’s going to make the neighbors happy and not draw unwanted attention from the local police department. Nice build!
Thanks Randall
Thanks, love the channel, like 2Vintage, always a learning moment and enjoy the free ride
Glad you are enjoying!
they're all pretty good! the real key is cutting between shots, which you do well! there's some really good shots you can get from a insta 360 3x, its a little pricey but worth it for your level of content!
I keep seeing those but yeah not sure its the next purchase yet
@@BrickHouseBuilds yeah also seems like more work but less prep and easier use than a drone.
What a spaceship !!!
Fun ride video! Thanks for sharing!
That bike sounds awesome! Great video.
Thank ya!
That bike is so butifull and nicely built . I wish I had a 10 of your talent
Thanks so much!
I guess I leaned towards the video footage from the helmet mounted gopro over the chest mounted. It was all good though. Mix placement is a very tough thing, most people just skip that all together
I normally use the helmet mounted but some have requested the chest mount. I wasn't a fan on this bike. Always good to try new things
Very cool ride video! I thought it was great, you are just demonstrating different aspects of video recording while riding.
I generally don't film while riding, as things can happen REALLY fast on my turbo CBX and my Wing is a 2 wheel couch.
Thanks man!
Glad you enjoyed!
I remember when they came out I didn't like those Comstar wheels. I'm OK with them now. :-)
Looking for that sweet spot. I dig it👍🏼
Always trying new things
It's such a god damn sexy bike.
🙏🙏
Looks like a fun bike to ride, sounds ok, looks great
So far out of the box its been a blast!
I don't mind comentry, music ,both or just listening to that lovely sound of the bike , great content but please can we have longer episodes on builds as just start to enjoy them and there over , l look forward to every episode , I only watch 3 bike builders and your one of the 3 , honestly can't see that changing , ever thought of a cool monkeybike build
David have you seen any of my other build videos? Just in this bike I have 23 showing all the details as I go. They range from 10 minutes long to about 45 minutes each.
@@BrickHouseBuilds yes I have seen quite a few , all well worth watching , thanks for taking the time to reply
@@davidyates5377 OK. So the current format of around 20-35 minutes is too short per your opinion and how you prefer to watch? I know everyone is different so just wondering
@@BrickHouseBuilds your short videos are fine , I just like to switch off and watch BHB after work to relax and your longer vids are just better for that , watched your day in a life video , didn't realise your day was so busy , very interesting, just keep doing what you do , myself and the rest of us appreciate all you do
That bike is cool. I was looking for a time lapse like you did with the blue CB750 (another really cool bike)
That will be a fun video to make. Starting to gather footage now
This bike is so sweet 👌🔥
Thank you! I very much recommend the full timelapse on it if you haven't seen it!
Cool to see your experimentations and processes. I personally think the first placement had the nicest audio but the different angles could be used in different times
Agreed, The audio doesn't have to match the video so ill always try to have a mix of shots
I thought the video was nice and crispy, my ears are shot anyway, if I can hear that rumble I'm good! Bike looks Awesome !
Hhahah thank ya! Audio is more important than video sometimes so I occasionally need to be extra picky
I’ve forgot to check for sound quality and picture framing and enjoyed the rides. 😊
My favorite rides are when I leave all the gear at home. Hard to do when you need to make content though
Akaso EK7000 4k ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Good looking bike with the mods made 👍, I had one in the 80’s, caned it everywhere all the time, it would not break!!, at the time they were known as “the plastic maggot” in the UK and thought to be very ugly 🙂.
Definitely ugly in stock form. Heard all the nicknames for them at this point lol
Very nice build. As a thought I had on the evolution. It crossed my mind right off if you could mount a Acerbis tank? The chest mount is nice but turn the angle up so we see ahead. Enjoyed the video and RIDE SAFE OUT THERE!
I'd love to mount a read dirtbike style acerbis tank but the customer wanted a stock one like you see. Glad you enjoyed!
Love it. Watching from a RHD traffic country. Mind wants you to drive on the left. 🤓
🤣 that will happen
Да си жив и здрав и да ни радваш с още такива видеа!
🤘
I just finished watching this entire build. It's just to my taste with form following function, absolutely love it!
Do you have an idea of the weight of the bike before and after?
All the best from Sweden! (I'm gonna go watch the tracker build now!)
Im glad you like it! I'll make an effort to weigh it. Id say it would be similar in weight if not slightly heavier by a few lbs. Riding feels fantastic though
I Followed the build and that thing is awesome 👌
Cześć,motorek wyszedł pięknie,troche pracy było ale było warto.Pozdrawiam Tomek Poland.
Thank you
The wind noise wasn’t bad. Some other videos from other ppl I follow have louder wind noise and they have the go pro 9 & 10
Nice Scrambler, Congrats on the shout out on RevZilla.Why no spokes?👋🇳🇱 NL, 2000 Transalp with many mods.
Thank ya! Every build has a budget. Spokes are spendy
Me gusta tu moto saludos desde durango mexico
Thank you!
Thanks fer the ride.
awesome video!!!! but i wonder wheres the helmet from???? i saw many people with this helmet and i want it too it looks cool. Your bike is beautiful!!!
Thank you! Its a Biltwell Gringo S
Dope little scrambler. I would be interested in buying it, but I’m from Europe so that’s not gonna happen 😢
😎👍
Do you have any videos on how you are tuning/Jetting the carbs to accommodate not using the airbox?
Not really. Thats dang near impossible to explain and make a video on. An issue I always encounter is people simply copying exactly what I do without understanding that all bikes, combos, and needs are different. Jetting is touchy as I don't want someone to damage their bikes
👍😎👍
I've used in the past the same method for directions...
Condenser mics have always had their limitations with this sport, as the real life patterns they utilize don't have the bi-aural elements that our hearing has. Might try the camera lens in a less vibrational location to eliminate all the signal flutter your getting, but there is always going to be trouble since you'd have to gimbal the vertices to dampen all the shake your engine and suspension is gonna generate. Only a free-float mechanism like on movie camera's could hope to deal with those forces. Forward, through the triple tree, at tank height seems to have least amount of ills. Shiney sides up, and beware the furrows in those fields. They always dumped me on my back end in the past.
I was surprised how well the gopro did on the rack as far as video. Audio sucked for sure. I have a dedicated audio recorder that I have tried to mount in various spots but haven't been successful yet. Still trying. Definitely appreciate the input
@@BrickHouseBuilds the audio may get nearer recognition if you create a stereo recording by splitting the inputs, being closer to how we hear in real time. Know it seems crazy, but your trying to recreate a bi-aural sensation with a minor input. It's like riding a twin cylinder bike with only one jug even contributing to the whole experience.
Isn't what I'm doing pretty standard for motovlog type stuff?
I'm not sure if you know insta360 but their one x model is really versatile and can help you add cool shots to your scenes. But your gph5 and akaso are already nice, just need better mic placement (as you said) or some sound mixing.
Ive definitely looked at those. Not sure its high on the list for me for the quality I feel I can produce. Next purchase is a real camera for in the shop and likely a used gopro 8 with the media mod.
@BrickHouseBuild, I see all of your videos I watched are shot in 1080p. Are you planning to do 4k or this is preferable for some reason?
For my general shop videos and most riding I just do 1080. When I make a more special video I try to use a higher resolution
kinda like the one facing backward actually!
I liked it too
Hi, i think the chest position not good (half the screen is the fuel tank and bag), also the rear view not good in my opinion. I think best views are on the helmet and on the side (on the frame) looking forward also capturing the front wheel. Love your content.
Yeah I wasn't a fan of the chest mount either. I actually did like the rear view with the rack.
Bro where did you get that helmet it’s friction awesome , I’m not kidding I’m serious please let me know
Thats a biltwell gringo
New subscriber here, been watching the CBX build, doesn’t seem to anymore videos after cylinder head episode, anymore to come?
Hey Jim, please check out my "thank you 2022" video as I talk about all the projects in that one and where they stand. I am working on a lot at all times
@@BrickHouseBuilds will do, thanks for the info, loved your shop tour, new Aussie fan.🇦🇺
Not bad angles at all
The rack and bar angles were new and Im definitely going to try more.
I have a GoPro out in front of my windshield and the Cardo com unit is on the helmet. This is accomplished with wireless mic setup in the helmet. I made a video on the whole setup piece by piece. LINK: th-cam.com/video/XWVdfWcASGQ/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=trekOCLVone
I have several Honda VT500c motorcycles (mid-'70s). They ride a lot like dirt bikes (ie. Suspension; Tall and Slim; You can ride while standing on the pegs; Light weight). I ride them in the grass and gravel all the time, and up dirt roads going up and over a mountain. Anyway, the thing that limits them is that they have road tires (so they cannot do mud). I was going to make one into a bobber....... but now I am thinking [because of your videos] of doing a "Scrambler". Do you have videos of your CX500 Scrambler going on dirt, gravel, or mud? I would be interested to know if those nobby tires (and different rims) make a huge difference. I would love to see that video. One last comment: I do not appreciate videos of "builds" that skip over all the details in the building process and leave it (I guess) to your imagination ....... by just showing end results (a.k.a. "walk-around" looks)......... but then also never show the bike in action (highway, dirt, whatever), so you never know if they are any good on performance. Thankfully, your vids of this build are 100%. Thank you for the long & detailed videos............. and especially for actual vids of the performance result, not just the bike sitting with its kickstand down! ......... I am tired of vids which leave me wondering, yeah, but did the change in suspension (etc.) actually work? I also like videos where they include "I made a mistake and here is how I corrected my mistake' in them. Explanations of why 'you changed your mind', on a particular build aspect, are very helpful to me. (ie. 'Trial and Error' method of a build.) Thank You.
Well I am currently waiting on an electrical piece to get this going again and test more. So far it works great as a scrambler and now I want to build one for myself. Tires make a huge difference. I actually want to build an early shadow 700/750 adventure bike.
Good God, I didn't expect a reply so quickly. I wasn't even looking for it so early......... Thanks!
@@Phaedrus-th7bi I'm up early lol
Think you should put the airbox back on. The naked frame look doesn't suit this style of bike in my opinion.
It looks great on the stripped back bobbers and cafe racers.
I've got an unusual amount of pushback on that one. There is no possibility it will go back on
@@BrickHouseBuilds customer requests? Anyway your doing great and it's extremely fun to watch your builds. Both for inspiration and entertainment.
I'll just keep the airbox on if I choose to do a similar style build. I currently have 2 cx500 projects one brat/scrambler style and one café style
Cya on your next video 👍🏼
Be nice to see how fast your going??
Why?
I would say that camera doesn't work well all the time.Example :*was not recording while you were standing still in front of 🛑 STOP .Hope you will fix camera.
Regards Zoran
Ride your ride, I'll ride mine.
I need to buy an action camera. Strapping my phone to my chest gets old. And I look like a tool 🤣
But...phones take great video!
@@BrickHouseBuilds yes they do. That’s how all my content is captured. All of it. iPhone gets a bit odd transferring it to a windows machine. But it gets done.
But the phone as wide as it is… it’s a sail!
Worst thing you can do is stick a helmet cam on and start riding as you would without. Moving your head side to side and back again whilst checking for oncoming vehicles e.t.c. can be nausea inducing for the watcher.
Right, that's why I'm ver conscious of that and cut those clips out
Remember we have to edit the videos as a watcher
Probably not the right site but do you sell the fitted hats? I like the logo and I want one . Long time fan!
That I do! Just head to my website www.brickhousebuilds.com
