Modern Buddy

You know the type of videos I am talking about.
Videos which we scooterists find interesting and entertaining where as the rest of the world find them boring and pointless.

Have you made any videos of you on your scoot ?

Have you made any videos of your friends (if you have any,lets be honest a few of us don't) on their scoots ?

If you can answer yes to either of the above then post your videos here



I will start the ball rolling, I filmed this today in and around Bath in the UK today. The Scooter is an LML star 4T and the camera is a gopro HD hero 2 set at 720p 50 FPS.

The video is here,

and here are a couple of screen shots,

Fun to watch, enjoyed it.

Makes me want a gopro even more now.

It was neat to see the different road markings in the UK compared to the US.

I don't have any cool angles like those but I did take some nice videos in west virginia coming back from Amerivespa... I'll have to upload those, expect to see them soon.

Yo Tip-

I feel ya. I started scooting 3 months ago and videos are a hobby of mine. I have been experimenting with different shots and mounting techniques.

I really like your leg shield behind the front wheel shot...that's money!

I have put together at least a dozen videos from group & solo rides over the last 3 months.

One I am particularly proud of is this one which has some great angles:

Nice time lapse Socky, how did you extend the camera away from the scooter like that ?

Did you see the new gopro hero 3 got released today ?

There is a video of my way back through West Virginia. Not perfect riding, but pretty good considering it was my second day in a row doing 450 miles a day, my rear tire had squared off by then and I was lugging a considerate amount of gear with me.

Good times.

Excellent video......very cool!

Great Videos! What programs are you guys using for editing? I have a few vids I could submit but they need editing. Thanks!

You are quite right! My Stella is running a sito+, 177cc pinasco kit, mazzucchelli crank and cosa clutch.

I want to take a video without the waterproof case to show the engine noise, it sounds really good!

Here is one from our group ride in April in Troy NY

If you jump to the 5 minute mark you will see me on my 4T Stella in front of the scooter with the camera mount.

Extra bonus fun watching the poor moped guy pedal up the hill.

Here is a ride video I took 2 years ago

Here' my 2012 Stella's first real ride last Saturday morning. It was about 90 miles of riding around town and nearby countryside. I went out early so I didn't have to fight traffic.
