This being a "Check out what they sent me for free" video and not a "Check out what I decided to buy" video really sums it up for me

[@spitescorner]

That's why I clearly disclose sponsored videos. But I don't cover stuff I think is lame.

[@sdot13tube]

Tell him Spite, I’ll say it for you.. stfu bro

[@bchamp1]

Changed the title too. It was something like "cool tech you need" to "this could save your life".

[@nonyabusiness4151]

Nobody's perfect.

[@thehomeless_trucker]

​@bchamp1 You don't understand title and thumbnail changes.... it's an educated guess on what the algorithm will like... I promise it only gets changed if the video isn't immediately getting a solid amount of views

[@pinoybear1855]

I would recommend to disable having having your speed written onto the video you're recording. Could come back to bite you if you need the video for an accident and you were speeding when it happened.

I bought a 1080p motorcycle dashcam off Ali a few weeks ago. Features, mounting, sound and video look about the same as the K7 here. Was $66 from Ali. Downside is that it took 4 tries to get a vendor that actually shipped the dumb thing, but I wasn't in any hurry. I've had it running on the bike for 2 weeks so far, so good. One I put on a bike 3 years ago flaked out (it was branded BlueSkySea). I think it got vibrated to death, it still sorta works but the video rips and tears on both cameras a lot.

[@John_Ridley]

I've had 3 motorcycle dash cams now. The audio is ALWAYS going to suck on them - I mean how can it not? It's under the seat, it has nothing to hear but engine racket and wind. The only reason I leave it on is in case I have some situation where I stop the bike (or crash it), the engine is off/not running and it might pick up some conversation or something else that could be useful later. Otherwise I'd just set it to not record audio.

[@judge831]

Never thought Third Eye Blind would get into making spot monitors

[@davecarrera]

I added a K7 to my NC750x yesterday, 09.06.2024, the yellow wire went to my Thunderbox for power. Using it for base front and rear shots with my Insta 360 for added emphasis content. Turned the writing of gps data off, lol. Agreed with taking the card out to edit footage and as the box is in my "Frunk" of the NC750x then that is easy. And easy for firmware upgrading also.

[@rengar322]

that helmet mic setup is absolutely amazing

[@spitescorner]

Thanks! I worked super hard to get a solid audio for y'all. I really appreciate it.

[@postersm7141]

Yes, his production video and audio is top-notch. However, the cameras that he featured looked and sounded like ass. That’s not his fault though. Why can’t a manufacturer build a decent dash camera in 2024?

[@daveclews4497]

If you're prepared to trust blind spot alerts while riding i suspect you'll have a short riding career. It could work flawlessly and I'd still hate the idea of it.

[@spitescorner]

And here we see the Gatekeeper in it's natural habitat... Maybe someone wants an extra layer of safety. It's the same tech that my Mazda has and I love it there, I love it here.

[@Onewheelordeal]

​@@spitescornerSo long as you never ride any machine without it ever again. Otherwise it makes you lazy and degrades a good habit of riding. As you said "it's brainless", not a safe way to ride

[@smashy_smasherton]

I’m not sure if I would want blind spot indicators on my bike but I wouldn’t mind them in my tiny-windowed car.

[@spitescorner]

@yeahitskimmel I can promise you I will ride whatever bikes I want with whatever tech I want. If you don't like the tech, that's fine. Ride your own ride.

[@TaylorFernance]

when you say tap into the light side not the bike side, I can't find any clarification searching for just this. Anyone have any advice?

[@PetrolJunkie]

I have one of their older kits on my R1250 GSA. Love the cameras.

[@nevsmate8663]

I currently have the Innovv N1-Pro on my '97 Valkyrie, I installed it after removing my Innovv K5... not yet decided which I prefer! 🤔

[@rench55]

Well, since you ask, I have absolutely no use for a blind-spot monitor. On the other hand, I've been considering a front/back dashcam for a while now. I'm not impressed with the video quality of this one though... Maybe it's on account of the thumper?

[@spitescorner]

The vibes from my bike definitely affected the quality. If I had installed it on a smoother bike it'd look a lot less shaky

[@BenYarmis]

The idea of a dash cam on a track bike is a great idea! I was able to mount two GoPros with safety wire, but man it wasn't the easiest.

[@AndyMac-xk3ys]

hey, nice ride, nice vid, great sound quality! got a question about the K7 if you got a moment, have you tried the footage with the image stabilization on? sounds like in 1080p it can do that. partly thinking for clearer image grabs in the event of a collision then number plates might be clearer? anyway what has been your experience with the eis on the K7 and can you upload some comparison vids with it on and off?

[@spitescorner]

So, I ran it at 2K resolution so I could punch in a bit on the video if needed. Yes Image Stablization would help see license plates, but I can see plate numbers pretty well even at 2k without it.

[@larryechols6606]

I have the Viofo MT1 motorcycle dash cam installed on my Moto Guzzi V100S Mandello and hopefully I’ll never need it, but it’s there just in case.

[@piggywarswamp2310]

Spite just a word of advice. Don't reply to the haters. Do what u need to do and what u think is right for ur channel. These products are actually good. I'm planning to buy the first product. I have been thinking of buying for the longest time. Don't reply to this comment as well just do u bruh. Haters gonna hate. Love from india

[@joezeke969]

It would be a good camera, but unfortunately the bitrate is too low (12K bit/s at 1080). The image is pixelated wrong quality. I will stay with my K2 with modified firmware (bitrate 20K bit/s) I will return the K7 to the seller. It was a big disappointment, and I was really looking forward about the EIS.

[@smashy_smasherton]

I wouldn’t mind having a dash cam like the one in my car. If something interesting happens you have already recorded it. Can give you help for insurance claims. Something that’s always set up and running. Usually crappy quality, though.

[@D3Syph3R]

Thank you for this. I have been looking for a good solution to this problem without mounting anything to my helmet.

[@spitescorner]

Yeah NGL, mounting stuff to your helmet sucks if you're not doing it for a living. I have a separate one I wear when I'm just riding for fun

[@MotoExploring]

The new Zontes 703F as this features stock (blind spot and dashcam).

[@thebrowns5337]

Funny how Americans say the light "goes off" yet mean it "goes on".

[@jeremyschultz4731]

you could add this to an e bike or an e razor with mirors for extra saftey even there an it be worth it... hmmm...

[@BelfastBiker]

The difference between your action cams and the dash cams, is shocking? Innovv etc need to up their game. OR, DJI/GoPro need to get into the dashcam business.

[@jberejik]

Please tell us how long this took to install. That's critical info!

[@spitescorner]

Took me two hours, but that was because I was filming. If I wasn't I could have done it in 30 minutes.

Blind spot monitor is a gadget. If you’re not doing head checks (and double head checks) you shouldn’t be on a motorcycle IMO. Also it’s another distraction. K7 is great. It has parking monitor too. 8 assume the mic is high gain so it can pick up everything after an accident (ie what bystanders are saying etc). In essence it’s more for evidence than vlogging.

Looking at the mirrors gives you more time to react before even that silly light comes on. Please people, learn to look those mirrors.

[@darkiee69]

But mirrors have blind spots, hence a blind spot monitor system.

[@spitescorner]

Like I said it's not an excuse to not use your mirrors. It's just an extra layer of safety.

[@Onewheelordeal]

​@@spitescornerExtra layer of complacency for most of the public unfortunately

[@GodzillaGoesGaga]

You should be turning your head always before you make a move.

[@TurboDog73TX]

I dunno, both devices seem like answers to questions I've never had. About the ONLY way I see any of it being useful is the part You said at the end about it possibly useful as a kind of "video guardian" or witness in a theft situation, but even that seems not real useful. Hard pass for Me.

[@BUGBYTE_]

It's not my speed. I like action cameras better even though these are more permanent. As for the blind spot sensor thing. I'm always looking around so I wouldn't use it. I can see a real gadget person buy them or maybe someone with an old GS or Africa Twin that always needs more accessorize.

[@stoggy4839]

not all relays are created equal. Connect up your bobbins, in this case your camera, but leave the negative loose. Take a voltmeter across the battery and then connect the negative side of the bobbins to the battery and watch if the voltage across the battery changes. If it does that is how much power your bobbins is draining when your bike is off. If its very much it will kill your battery. Did you check this one? All the cameras i have tried are TERRIBLE drains. I haven't tried any of the INNOVV camera.

[@Spazek]

I did not expect Spite to be into Third Eye Blind back in the day

[@spitescorner]

[@DesmoxMyco]

Gotta be real here... Never have I thought about wanting either of these products. I don't think they add anything of value to a motorcycle and in a lot of cases even would make the rider less aware.

[@MrWolf2212]

Yup. Those things are useless for me as well.

@@spitescorner don't worry I'm also shite at it. Can lift the wheel a few inches but thats it

[@BrianAndresMusic]

Blind spot monitor on a motorcycle, ok. But if a rider is being intelligent, they'll still turn their head and be 100% sure. Not doing so will create a horrible, if not deadly habit. But I like the idea of a Blind Spot Monitor as an additional warning.

[@chaseweeks2708]

Gotta say, when I bought a truck with BSM I noticed pretty quickly that my situational awareness was actually worse. I realized I started looking at the light in the mirror rather than looking at the objects in the mirror. I permanently disabled BSM and immediately my SA improved and I had fewer close calls when changing lanes. For me and the way I drive, at least, BSM is worse than worthless.

[@Onewheelordeal]

Seems like a pretty dangerous way to throw away $300 and have every other rider poking fun at you. Makes more sense as a disability aid if you can't turn your neck and still wanna ride. I used to have a lot less ppl blindly change lanes into me before that lil light on side mirrors made everyone even lazier.

[@davesy6969]

......or an ejector seat.

[@spitescorner]

You might be joking, but I'd love an ejector seat.

[@ADingoTookMyDasco]

If you'd asked me 10 years ago I'd pass on the blind spot monitor as it would have only been good to have a couple of times where a supercar whizzed past me on the highway. Now I'd say it's almost mandatory just to warn you of the Uber Eats riders sneaking up on you & trying to take your spot at the front of the lights. As for the dash cam, I'll stick to a chin mounted action camera for the versatility. Looking through a car window at the driver who just cut you off with a camera strapped to your chin does a much better job of getting said driver to modify their behavior than smashing off their side mirror. At least it does here in Australia from my experience. You just have to be disciplined enough to keep your batteries charged, remember to start recording at the beginning of the ride & have enough space on your card. Less disciplined people should stick to a dash cam as an alternative though. Better to have footage than not if something happens on the road.

[@Yowzoe]

Just coming back to riding myself. I have an old GoPro 5, do you have any idea if it would be adequate at least for now? Do you use a 256 SD card?

[@ADingoTookMyDasco]

@@Yowzoe A GoPro Hero 5 would give you better video than almost all dash cams & would be fine as long as the battery life lasts as long as your ride. 256GB will give you plenty of recording time, especially if you shoot at 1080p.

[@Yowzoe]

@@ADingoTookMyDasco thanks for confirming. If the worst ever happens, I’ve just found out about an app and software called “Gyroflow“ that will stabilize footage to read plates. I’m going on a long trip around the West on a CB500X, and I think my plan is to wear the GoPro 5, have three batteries, two 256 SD cards, and just delete most of the footage each night. I hope that’s easy, it’s all new to me.

If you put it on a bike with a little more room under the panels, they install a lot cleaner. You wouldn't be able to tell I have dash cams on my 600 unless I pointed them out.

Quality of the footage is garbage, and without any image stabilization it does not worth that tag price which is too high.
