I had to do some work on the clutch of my KLR650 and decided to set up the Drift Stealth in time lapse mode behind me. The large gaps in action are because I’ve realized something is wrong. I think I went inside, got on the computer trying to find out what the deal was. There is a little spring just below the clutch that had snapped. Took me a long time to get that piece shipped to Panama. By the time it got here I didn’t feel like setting up the camera to film putting everything back together.
I’ll post the video I’m filming of the clutch with my main camera one of these days.
Sometimes I put a little left over food outside for the many hungry dogs that wander around my neighborhood. Last night my wife and I were sitting outside eating dinner watching the fireflies and I put what I had left on the ground. The dogs took the meat, but left a few noodles and I noticed the ants going after it the next day. I set up my Drift Stealth on a little tripod and let it go. You might notice a few jumps in the video, the camera seems to over heat and shut off when placed in direct sunlight. After erecting a shade from a BBQ, trash can and boogie board I let it shoot until the battery went dead. Using the Drift long life battery it shot 10,293 photographs at 2 second intervals. So it took them about 6 1/2 hours to clean that mess up. I had hoped to see a large swarm of ant going after it, but the colony isn’t that crazy about Italian food. Each photo is 1 frame long in the video, but I also sped it up 200% because the song was ending before the video.

This is a quick tutorial on how to edit a time lapse video. I used my Drift Stealth helmet camera on time lapse mode, had it take a photo every 2 seconds. By the time I was finished taking out the motorcycle battery my camera had captured 320 .jpg’s. So I needed a way to quickly get them into a time line and make each one of them 1 frame long.
I found a description of how to do it in a forum and thought I would quickly make a video tutorial for you.
This was the first time I played with the time lapse features on my Drift. It was kind of fun and I plan to do more in the future.
