Time to make motorcycle movies
Being in the still photography domain for over 5 years, I decided it was absolute time to check out the world of motion pictures. I love great movies with a solid story and always wanted to make a short one myself. I have recently watched some movies carefully and researched on the basics of editing. It is time put all the dreams in action, along the lines of both documentaries and short films.
The jump to videography could take longer if not for Alena, a budding actress with boundless enthusiasm in movies. She inspired me so much over a couple sessions of chat that it made the final push for me.
I have been eyeing on the 3ccd prosumer camcorders but decided to first try out a cheaper option. Picked a mint Sony DCR-SR200 40GB HDD camcorder for 370 bucks at half its new price, almost the same I paid on a Hi-8 tape version 2 years back for family.
Time to be a filmmaker.

Cool camera.
You’ll almost certainly want one of these to mount it on your ST.

Here’s another vote for the Ram motorcycle mounts. I use the model with the double ball. That way I don’t have to remove my gps in order to shoot some video. Recommend you order an extra ball up front, and check to make sure your mounted camera doesn’t block any gauges/etc before you lock the Ram down all the way. Ride safe and have fun.
