A New CampyOnlyGuy Film!

Your faithful CampyOnlyGuy strapped on a video camera or two and rode the Davis Double Century for the 29th time last weekend ... and emerged with the latest of our world-famous cycling videos. Hope you enjoy it.  To see the video directly on YouTube, or to see our other videos, click here.

The Latest CampyOnlyGuy Video

This time, from the Camino Real Double Century in Southern California, which we rode on our Campy-equipped '73 Motobecane. Click on the player below to view it, or click here to see in available 720P HD.

Our video was filmed entirely with cameras by Bad Vision (a Campy Only sponsor).

Sparks in the Night ...

... Which is to say, some nighttime shots with the Spark HD II camera from Bad Vision (a Campy Only sponsor), taken during tonight's ride.

New Stuff From Bad Vision

 The folks at Bad Vision (a Campy Only sponsor and supplier of the cameras we use to film our cycling videos) have sent us a couple of new products to try out: an updated version of their Hotspot videocam sunglasses, which now shoot in 720P HD, and the latest version of the Spark HD bike-mount camera, which now films in 1080P HD at up to 60 frames per second.

We've given each a quick tryout, and the results so far are great. Watch for a complete review soon.

For now, here are some quick video samples. First, the Hotspot video glasses:



And the Spark HD II camera:

An Ending and a Beginning: Photos from Two Rides

The Davis Bike Club sponsored two 200K brevets this past weekend--the "Last Chance" and "First Chance" brevets. Campy Only was there for both--didn't ride the entire distance either day, but got out for some quality miles nonetheless.  

Here are links to photos and videos:

Campy Only's Annual Post-Thanksgiving Ride

For your holiday viewing enjoyment ... video from our annual post-Thanksgiving ride, which this year involved 140 miles of riding and 5,000 feet of climbing. Perfect for working off that second helping of stuffing.

View the video in HD on YouTube here.  Our video was filmed with the Spark HD camera from Bad Vision (a Campy Only sponsor).

Filming in HD with the BadVision Spark

Here is a selection of videos and stills (yes, stills) taken a few days ago on Campy Only's traditional post-Thanksgiving Day ride using the Spark HD video camera from Bad Vision.  The camera performed quite well--the 720p HD footage looks great, with a little rolling shutter here and there, and the stills are acceptable (and easier to take than hauling a regular camera out of a jersey pocket).
